Growing Up

Young Turk

[Mickey]


I ain't nothin but a hustler, I raised like that


Pumpin gas or pumpin crack, we was paid like that


Ol' G's taught us game, we was made like that


Cross tha family, ya get sprayed wit a mac


Laid flat


My uncle was sellin crack, my father was smokin


Me and brother didn't like tha way my mother was (?)


So we promised to get my momma out


Betta car, betta house


And if daddy ain't gettin shit togetha, fuck it, a betta spouse


I know what this ghetto bout, I live that life


No heat, no light at tha crib at night


Stay strapped , gat attached next to my ribs at night


Cause them fiends'll try to steal yo life


Muthafucka this Chicago


Everything I live for, I die for


Cash Money tha click I'll ride for


Yeah, they showed me love when them label wasn't fuckin wit me


Now tha whole workld in love wit Mickey


Cash Money Millionaires nigga

Growing up was hard in them project bricks

It was hard dawg wit out a father figure


Give it up to my mom cuz she stood tall nigga





[Christina]


Nigga I'm from city where niggaz gang bang and shit


Up on tha corner drinkin henny, tryna hang and shit


I tote em quick and make chickens get over


Tha first bitch in my gone get knocked tha fuck over


Shit I'm not playin, them bullets gone start sprayin


Start prayin, cuz gats gone start sprayin


Stop panicin, stayin calm to I bomb out this ghetto


Leg, back, arms, ice up to tha elbow


Rock Fenni, bitches envy me up in tha ghetto


Slimmy's pack simmy's, squeeze 50 in tha ghetto


Tote Gucchi coats, toast toast in they thoart


Hit tha roach, don't smoke, it'll have u senseless in tha ghetto


Cuz niggaz will beat u senseless in tha ghetto


I'm glad I moved my mom to tha ponds, out tha palms of tha ghetto


True divas neva settle for tha ghetto


Come on, and that's real Cash Money nigga
