Growing up I knew something's would change
Had to learn the hard way & that's ok
Live it up cause I knew I was on my way
Back yard bbqs that's every day
When I was growing up
When I was growing up
Thinking back to the past hope you doing well
We gon dive right in it like Michael felps
Cliff bar I'm on my last when I ride around
I used to hate class I'll learn by myself
I used break dance happy man that's how I felt
I used to pop & lock powers moves going down
Beat boxing at the lunch tables gather round
Rap battling at 13 was hella wild
Grip tape mess up my shoes now my parents mad
Shoe laces like a belt man that's all we had
Seen some homies on the news it was all bad
Got my 1st girl & when she left I was Sad
Moved on things changed at the right time
I lost myself with graffiti in the night time
Headspace switched up i had to Change mine
I seen some homies messing up at the Same time
Growing up I knew something's would change
Had to learn the hard way & that's ok
Live it up cause I knew I was on my way
Back yard bbqs that's every day
When I was growing up
When I was growing up
Palatedo man was always being cool to us
Take it back to a time where there was No rush
Seen some homies throw down tryna call ya bluff
Same homies doing drugs they dont listen bruh
F*ck school but my teachers no I don't Hate em
Every note that was passed I knew I had to Save em
Hot cheetos after class yeah we all ate em
Green chicken enchiladas when my mom made them
Started cooking making breakfast was 11th grade
Spam & egg it was simple but it taste great
Than the homie took off he moving up State
That's when I knew I had to move & dont take breaks
Stay focused dont mind & perfect the Rhyme
I aint never been in trouble f*ck commiting Crimes
So many people graduated half of them was Blind
They dont understand the value & life with Time
Growing up I knew something's would change
Had to learn the hard way & that's ok
Live it up cause I knew I was on my way
Back yard bbqs that's every day
When I was growing up
When I was growing up
Seen my 1st fight dude lost in one punch
Pb & j everyday for my school lunch
Just chilling wit the homies it was all Fun
Skate life & BmX tryna do Stunts
Growing up playing every sport at the park
Mom blowing up our phones when it's getting Dark
Making songs from my phone how I got my Start
Pool table at my home wit girls playing darts
Hooked it up for later mobbing to the skate park
Catch me laying in the field gazing at the stars
Wit my girl that's how I feel when you feel my heart
Yeah i graduated homie wasnt very smart
I was an outcast people hating all the time
Same people hating listening to every line
Jealous cause they not the homie just closed minds
I still graduated & I made it on time
Growing up I knew something's would change
Had to learn the hard way & that's ok
Live it up cause I knew I was on my way
Back yard bbqs that's every day
When I was growing up
