How I Grew Up Lyrics – Lil Zay Osama

[Intro]
(Banger)
(Oh, yeah, I’m finna make a banger with this)
(DJ on the beat, so it’s a banger)

[Chorus: Lil Zay Osama]
We had to rob and beat the buckets ’cause we ain’t had s*it (We ain’t had s*it)
My bougie family seen us as all the bad kids (As all the bad kids)
This just how I grew up, I wasn’t your average (Your average)
Daddy wasn’t there, so the streets made me a savage (A savage)
This just how I grew up, signs and s*it we threw up (That we threw up)
I got used to shootouts, we ditched school to boot up

Smoke an opp, now who up? I got rich, now who up?
Now everybody knew us (They knew us), they ain’t never knew us (They never knew us)

[Verse 1: Lil Zay Osama]
The floors is hard to sleep on (Hard to sleep on)
Tryna fu*k my cousings cousin, we was tryna get our freak on (Tryna get our freak on)
We played house up in the crib
Put down traps in every corner to catch the mouse up in the crib (To catch the mouse up in the crib)
Eat ramen noodles in the house, it’s like Roc South up in the crib (It’s like Roc South up in the crib)
My house was the trap house (Was the trap house)
I let the guys in through the back, my OG let ’em back out (My OG let ’em back out)
I let my b!tch in through the back, I was tryna blow her back out (Blow her back out)
I live what I rap ’bout (Live what I rap ’bout)
Blow 30S, I back out, yeah
They must wanna die now
This just how I blew up (How I blew up)
All these b!tches ain’t wanna fu*k before a n!gga blew up (A n!gga blew up)
If it’s war, then it’s war, tell them n!ggas suit up (Tell them n!ggas suit up)
Now a n!gga got some money, they say I’m doing too much (I’m doing too much)
They say I’m doing too much

[Chorus: Lil Zay Osama]
We had to rob and beat the buckets ’cause we ain’t had s*it (We ain’t had s*it)
My bougie family seen us as all the bad kids (As all the bad kids)
This just how I grew up, I wasn’t your average (Your average)

Daddy wasn’t there, so the streets made me a savage (A savage)
This just how I grew up, signs and s*it we threw up (That we threw up)
I got used to shootouts, we ditched school to boot up
Smoke an opp, now who up? I got rich, now who up?
Now everybody knew us (They knew us), they ain’t never knew us (They never knew us)

[Verse 2: Polo G]
I grew up a screw up, watch them boys who you trust
Close the door at mama house, I call the bops to chew up
Coupe all white like Ku Klux, I’m rolling with my shooters
B!tches fu*king with the opps again, look how they do us, uh
Shots fired, we was toting Berettas, my homie died, I got a vendetta
Switch on the back, so it clap a lil’ better
My side ain’t sunny, better grab an umbrella
Drug money to just copped Margielas
Would’ve thought my block got better
Show too much love to the streets
She’ll steal your heart if you let her
Nah, it ain’t no rainbows, I’m from where they bang poles
I don’t care if it’s Heaven or Hell, take me where the gang go, uh
I remember we was stepping on shells and I rock the same clothes, uh
Got it out the mud, can’t you tell? Diamonds and my chain gold, uh

[Chorus: Lil Zay Osama]
We had to rob and beat the buckets ’cause we ain’t had s*it (We ain’t had s*it)
My bougie family seen us as all the bad kids (As all the bad kids)
This just how I grew up, I wasn’t your average (Your average)
Daddy wasn’t there, so the streets made me a savage (A savage)
This just how I grew up, signs and s*it we threw up (That we threw up)
I got used to shootouts, we ditched school to boot up
Smoke an opp, now who up? I got rich, now who up?
Now everybody knew us (They knew us), they ain’t never knew us (They never knew us)
