Grew Up A Screw Up
(专辑: Release Therapy - 2006)
[Notorious B.I.G. sample:] "I grew up a
fucking screw-up Got introduced to the
game, to the
game then fucking blew up" [Intro: Ludacris speaking over B.I.G. sample repeated] Yeah! Dedicated to all my hustlers that's a
product of they environment Whether getting money legally or ILLEGALLY We gotta do what we gotta do to survive man! Yeah! Grew up a
screw up baby Got introduced to the
game, I
ain't took a
breath yet Let's go! [Ludacris] Ever since I
was an embryo, waiting to shape up and ship out Something in my brain said, "Wake up and kick out!" Roberta and Wayne stayed up and flipped out Cause when I
came I
was draped up and dripped out Snip the
umbilical, spit the
government chip out Peace up, A-Town down and then I
dipped out And oh my gosh, the
Osh Kosh was picked out I
slipped in, even my baby stroller was tricked out Somebody get him, the
little nigga's out of control Put a
little bit of rum in my bottle I'll dream about diamonds and gold Gold gold, to grow from an infant to toddler was effervescent The
essence of adolescence got my body feeling freshen freshing freshing, and it was a
blessing to rhyme and start rapping I
was the
best in my section with flows hard than erections Still the
best but now I'm grown with more range than a
Texan And I'm a
heavyweight you niggas is lighter than my complexion [Chorus: Notorious B.I.G. sample variations repeat 4X] [Young Jeezy] Ayyyy Y'all already know what it is I'ma tell you nigga C.T., know what it is, 'bout 17-5 Homey fronted me a
sip, shit I
made it a
bird That's seventeen and a
half, all I
need is the
word Say the, ice is cool but them pots is hot You better cook slow but that money come fast I
got what you need I
hope you brought all the
cash You know the
kid pimping all over the
world A
hundred carats got me all over your girl YEAH, five freaks and my Gucci duffle bag A
corporate thug, I
run with a
Playaz Circle I
got a
Field Mob that'll +Disturb+ your +Peace+ Blowing Sean Jay, all we do is smoke Finish counting my bread and I
was getting some head What's up? [Chorus] [Ludacris] I'ma be all the
way real with this, look When I
came into the
game they ain't do nothing but doubt me Now the
whole game's changed and it ain't nothing without me Picking up my sloppy seconds as they reach for the
crown Only reason you on that song is cause I
turned that down I
went from Hot Wheels to big wheels, Hyundais to Bentleys And five course meals, no more Popeye's and Blimpie's From alright to handsome, from one room to mansions From hanging on the
block to throwing parties in the
Hamptons From, broke as a
joke to rich as a
bitch, I
bought a
plane and a
boat and six other whips, no MARTA From dice on the
curb to stacking up chips, but harder From birds on my nerves to chicks on my DICK! Guard your women dawg I
went from ashy to classy Went from a, kiss on the
cheek to doing the
nasty Reach your hand up in the
air and you can play with the
stars It's not the
hand that you're dealt but how you're playing your cards Boy! [Chorus]
