Grow Up / Keep It On Speaker

(album: 7220 - 2022)

(David, wake up)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
(Chase Davis on the beat)

I missed two, three graduations of my kids, they begged me to come
Greet my daddy and all of his Muslim brothers, I be like "Salam"
My family get on the book like they ain't shit, I just don't respond
After school, parents they told me "Naw," like that shit cost a, uh
My people stealing TV's, copping radios to get a nod
Catch me, they gon' kill me mama, reason, I can't get a job
Opps play with my name but in real life that shit gon' cost a dub
Ashes from the swisher burned the carpet, I had to toss the rug
My mind was going crazy, I couldn't eat, but that's the cost of love
Fantasizing about a million cash, that shit gon' turn me up
Lean was takin over a nigga life, I had to burn the cup
Even though I gave you my life savings, feel like I ain't doing enough

I wanted to run the streets when I grow up (When I grow up)
I wanted to be like Meech when I grow up (When I grow up)
I wanted to be a millionaire when I grow up (When I grow up)
I wanted to fuck all the bad hoes when I grow up (When I grow up)

I was moving like a lil' child, like Angelo, grow up
And I be taking all these drugs until I throw up
I had to grow up, I had to grow up (Grow up)

Police pulled me over 'cause I'm dark-skinned
She lied about her job but she bartend
A hundred thousand smile just for my porcelain (Will a fool)
Talking 'bout these drugs, before they barge in

Every prison, they come with a bail
Hundred pounds and they come with a smell
Before sex, I'ma offer a pill
Niggas die when they jump in the field
I told Booka "I'll die for the real"
When she come into town, I see her
In the trenches that shit getting weird
All these rumors, they hurting my ears
Of the drink, I'm not fucking with beer
And that pussy get wetter as piers
Feel like Kodak, I'm dying to live
I got a model that's down to chill
Off the drugs, I'm fighting my fears
At the morgue, I'm wiping the tears
It's too serious, you shopping at sears

Fast car, I can't steer
I got diamonds in my ear
Sometimes, I can't hear

Lam' truck, this not a Kia
All the cougars act like they Madea
Miss my granny, I'm dying to see her
And my bitch, they be dying to build
Wiping tears from Tooda and Tania
Call 'em sisters, they calling us cheaters
Been to prison, I'm ducking them people
Paranoia, I walk with a beeper
Know a killer, they call him a reaper
When they call me, I keep it on speaker
Do a deal, I kick it with eaters
When you text me, I don't even read 'em
I'm of Addys, I don't even need 'em
Say he love me, I don't even believe him

Fast car, I can't steer
I got diamonds in my ear
Sometimes, I can't hear
