Ludacris - Growing Pains lyrics

(feat. Keon Bryce, Fate Wilson) [Fate Wilson] Okay, I remember the days High rights, low lefts, Even Stevens and Faze Troops Lotto and BK's those was the days High tech boots spray paintin' wit'cha name T-shirts airbrushed that read the same They carry long chains One gone but yo we miss ya' Harris photos school shots can you remember Bury him told his b**h go to the prom and die Didnt lie shot his-self in the head with the 4-5 When she disobeyed hand off clated craze Just to reiterate dog those was the days Fo' da invasions of hatas I aint cool to mile around Use to get down at True Flavas bumpin Key Lo Walkin' damage cross colored and Paco While play more step than talent shows Prom nights tux and cane know its so cool f** them new model cars we ridin' old school (old school) [Chorus - Keon Bryce] We were tryin so hard Hard to survive Cause eventhough we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And thats how it went When we were kids [Fate Wilson] In 3 months we stayed in Jamestown Hamwood and Diplomats Played with Transformers, G.I. Joe's and Thundercats We was lovin' that Before to started jackin jacks For notes from Red Oaks had folks scared to come through College Park after dark Crown Victorias police unmarked cars Be aware... Wayne Williams was out there But we didnt care kids was gettin' stabbed and ditched out there To busy playin'...Double Dare You touched shorty on the a** that's a bet Want ya Kool-Aid and sugar smack ya hands and say sweat It's mine now place it in my Louie Vaton pouch Thump a n***a on his knuckles make him say ouch Slout socks box Chevy Caprice Hot knees cut da holes Disturbing Tha Peace Wit no conscience broke n***as call em nonsense No com-mission this is lil fate payin' homage to College Park [Chorus - Keon Bryce] We were tryin so hard Hard to survive Cause eventhough we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And thats how it went When we were kids [Ludacris] I had a Long John but no Silver No gold or plat I was simply red from the years I been holdin' back With 2 sides to a book I lick stamps and light matches And set fires in garbage pales and cabbage patches A child of the corn been wild since I was born Climbin' over barb wire clothes got torn Shoes got muddy and my clique turned cruddy Wherever I go they went they my buddies I brush teef brush naps and cause treats Dreamin' of Cadillac with wood wheels and plush seats Cats with gold teeth and raps with such beats Macks with no grief and some sacks of green leaf When I loaded my cap gun I was ready for ACTION! Starin' at beer cans and a moment to crack one Wanna hang with the big boys and play with the big toys And be with the people makin all that goddamn noise [Chorus - Keon Bryce (x2)] We were tryin so hard Hard to survive Cause eventhough we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And thats how it went When we were kids
