Michael Christmas - Growing Up lyrics

[Teyana] Bought my mama's crib 'cause she got no n***as Ain't it slow for you hoe n***as when I ball I told you I would ball, n***a, didn't I ball? And I might not see you later [Dad] Teyana [Teyana] Yeah? [Dad] What are you listening to? [Teyana] Michael's album [Dad] Michael dropped an album? Boy don't tell me sh** n***as is sick, when I was growin' up, I couldn'ta pictured this Got TVs with 3D in 'em Bed big enough so me and my feet fit both fit in And I found a group of friends in which I fit in But I still stand out any place I'm chillin' Don't wanna see no drama, no All My Children When I was a kid, I was Dennis the Menace Mike Epps and Ice Cube, I was quiet and timid Jermaine held me down, yeah, that's my n***a My pops give me good sh** talk and wisdom I plan to take that to the tip-top and tip it It bounce out, I put that sh** back like Blake Griffin These Js only get you so far but I'm still fly in 'em I hate flyin', love money, yeah that's conflicting Don't get caught up and let them charges stick Use the comm sense before you face the consequence n***as buggin' out like Phife Dawg and Tip The artists [?] Other n***as can kick the can, but I'm the bigger man Lookin' at the table, draft day, yeah we did it man So let me make a toast, I don't brag or boast I just f**in' hope, and dream Michael comes homes and he tells me that one of his fellow students' mother and father we're doing something after school, as mothers and fathers do after school, and Michael says "parents don't live together" or something like that and I guess the teacher had to explain different dynamics of families and stuff like that And it broke my f**in' heart 'cause his family didn't love together and he thought that's how everybody's family should be And I cried a little bit, but we didn't think about that, but it was definitely a heartbreaking scenario of many to follow But we got through it, as we always did Because for some reason he always believed the bullsh** I was spittin' And it worked out for us
