The Way I Grew Up Lyrics

Suggestin' that Ima white kid means I earn a lot

You think I got a big house, and I'm smoking lots of pot

You say 'I don't need a job, I got lots of the money'

But my shoes were too bunk I couldn't pick up the honeys

Now everybody believes that I got it hella easy

Stealin' in the super market, ain't gotta be sleezy

And classes were breezy, cause teachers believed me

When I said I couldn't do my homework weekly

Once I became a grad, I felt like I was complete

But little did I know I had to get to my feet

I got kicked out quickly, like nobody missed me

I took a left turn shit, I must've been tipsy

Damn I'm confused, like I'm standing on a brick wall

Lookin' both ways, don't know which way to fall

So now that I'm on my own, Ima need a bit of luck

Don't blame me, that's just the way I grew up

That's just

The way I grew up

Sometimes it's so hard to win, it's the happiness within

No matter how hard it gets, I can always tell a friend

And they can lift me up, when I'm sittin' on the ground

Lookin' left to right for something around me

Myself, yah It's me, myself, and I

And when things be lookin' down, I just look up at the sky

Lines on my paper, what's written on my journal

Lookin' just as good as the paintin' of my mural

Can't get shot by the police cause the color of my skin

Take a closer look and please do not chime in

I put it down for my city, and what it represents

I don't a big house or a white picket fence

It was always a little rough, you know it was tough

I remember back in the days when I always had enough

Now that I'm on my own, Ima need a bit of luck

I better rely on the days and the way I grew up
