Growing up Hip-Hop

I been thinking bout my life and shit
While everybody politic
Tryna spread this wealth around
So we don't gotta fight for shit
Hope there's lessons learned though
From every bridges burnt from
People who might smile in face
They don't mean to save your grace
Probably plotting on trading place
Eddie Murphy in your face
We eating good after saying grace
Nigga make yo plate

Good morn' or evening, friends
Here's your friendly announcer
I have serious news
To pass on to everybody

I grew up around real thugs though
From niggas who sold drugs too
Them niggas who was on drugs yo
Fuck me up when they took Curt though
Fuck a pop record
I diss all these niggas like a Pac record
I just miss playing Tekken back in Meadow Woods
Where me and Big Joe was steppin
But I do anything to go back
To when my niggas used to rap
But I guess my homies chose sides
So they can never ever come back
Guess the hood never did shit for me
Show a lot of love, but the hood don't love me
Fuck around and get p-plugged, lil dummy
Broke ass rapper talking about fuck money
Not me dog, tryna push another Bentley
Not me dog, cause my son like Disney
Ain't never did-did-did shit with it
Plaques on my wall, think a bigwig did it
Smoke a lot of kush
Bitch niggas can't hit it
Worth about a mill, so you know I ain't trippin
Run around the world, can't tell where I'm living
I done seen it all, but a motherfuckin' prison, Yeah

I been stacking, gaining knowledge
I been growing up
On the road as a kid, I was blowing up
Now my son getting older and he growing up
I gotta raise him up, type of shit that got me growing up
Spent my life in show business, had me moving up
Hip-hop, growing up, so you know it's up
I been stacking, gaining knowledge
I been growing up
On the road as a kid, I was blowing up

Now my son getting older and he growing up
I gotta raise him up
Type of shit that got me growing up
You bet on me then double up
I get your money back in lumps
We got those guns that look like pumps
So when they shoot, they make you jump
It be Kriss Krossin' them up
We overprotective cause we came up
And they ain't come up the way we came up
So respectfully shut the fuck up
I been stacking, gaining knowledge
I been growing up
On the road as a kid, I was blowing up
Take the money out the bank
And fuck it, fuck it up
Stacking money for a decade
I ain't made enough
After club, after club I was throwing up
Gotta give that young Man, some time to grow it up

I been stacking, gaining knowledge
I been growing up
On the road as a kid, I was blowing up
Now my son getting older and he growing up
I gotta raise him up, type of shit that got me growing up
Spent my life in show business, had me moving up
Hip-hop, growing up, so you know it's up
I been stacking, gaining knowledge
I been growing up
On the road as a kid, I was blowing up

I been stacking, gaining knowledge
I been growing up
On the road as a kid, I was blowing up
Now my son getting older and he growing up
I gotta raise him up, type of shit that got me growing up
Spent my life in show business, had me moving up
Hip-hop, growing up, so you know it's up
I been stacking, gaining knowledge
I been growing up
On the road as a kid, I was blowing up
