How I Grew Up

(album: Swervo - 2018)

[G Herbo & 21 Savage:]
Money calling me (whoa, whoa), trouble following me
I'ma street nigga (whoa) and I'ma always be (whoa)
And my momma know I'm (whoa) good so she don't pray for me (whoa)
I'm just a street nigga (whoa) and I'ma always be

We was gangbanging, that's how I grew up (yeah)
Out there selling work (yeah), that's how I grew up (yeah)
Younging shooting shit up (yeah), that's how I grew up (yeah)
I put in that work (straight up), that's how I blew up (straight up)
Man fuck them niggas (straight up), they ain't nothing like us (straight up)
We don't talk to cops (straight up), that's how I grew up (on God)
We just slut-out bops, (on God), that's how I grew up (on God)
All day on the block (on God), that's how I grew up

[G Herbo:]
On the Eastside of Chiraq, that's where I grew up
OG ain't let me on Essex until I grew up
When G Fazo died in 2010, I just ain't give a fuck
'Member me and Manski on the phone an hour T'ing up
Fourteen, we was young as fuck, all ready to fuck shit up
Coming up, no fear in us, we ready to kill some
Lil Roc died, Rellski turned himself in for a year or some
Trapping so hard, told 'em leave the line and watch us still run it
Back then I was sixteen, probably running up a fifteen
Then I started spitting 16s, rapping 16s by my 16th
Nigga 16, yeah, them my blocks
Four blocks, can't switch, four blocks that way
Four blocks up, four blocks back
We run our shit and the opp's
(Gang, gang)
