King Lil G - Grow Up lyrics

Good morning boys and girls ... You over there in that black shirt ... What you wanna be when you grow up? [Verse 1] My mother worked two jobs, gang banging was too raw 1993, I was bumping some of that Snoop Dogg Murder was the Case, my uncle caught a case My grandmother stressing out, I could feel her pain Acting older than I was, I should have been acting my age I had to walk to school, I got recruited to the gang My mother tried to do her best, on minimum wage But it was hard when I seen the drugdealers in the range Such a bad example, she didn't even know it I truly needed my father with me, you need to know it You need to know it, cause I need someone to be heroic Someone to motivate me when I wanna be a poet I truly think that I can be the dopest, maybe noticed Never losing my focus, but you ruined the moments sh** was hard in my apartment, roaches and old, carpets I'mma enemy target, matresses by the garbage [Chorus:] I know it's hard to grow up (grow up) I know it's hard to grow up (oh) But it's time to grow up (grow up) I know it's hard to grow up (oh) But it's time to grow up (grow up) [Fill] What you wanna be when you grow up? I wanna be a motherf**ing hustler, you better act somebody [Verse 2] Yo, I wish my father never met that woman Broke my family up, you should have f**ing left that woman I was eating cereal, my mama cried to sleep Remember the kisses I gave you on the side of your cheek? I made some promises, that I will make accomplishments And I became a criminal, please accept my apologies I'mma get you out this, show these rappers what time it is Buy you the car you needed, and have somebody to drive you in it My mama held my hand, standing at the bus stop Gave me the love I needed, the streets, covered in gun shots Stop making excuses, and stop going to prison Cause people forget about you when people don't even visit This is for my young homies, thinking there's no way out Throwing your life away, living broke, that sh** is played out OG's tell me stories bout life in the pen A dark cell, homies lost, doing h**n [Chorus:] I know it's hard to grow up (grow upSubject: I know it's hard to grow up (oh) But it's time to grow up (grow up) I know it's hard to grow up (oh) But it's time to grow up (grow up) [Woman singing:] And if you fall, get back up And just remember, everybody gotta grow up And if you fall, get back up And just remember, everybody gotta grow up Grow up, Grow, everybody gotta grow up Everybody, everybody gotta grow up Believe me homie, you can make it
