Lil Zay Osama - How I Grew Up (feat. Polo G) lyrics

[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 sh*t (We ain't had sh*t)
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 (Average)
Daddy wasn't there, so the streets
Made me a savage (I'm a savage)
This just how I grew up (How I grew up)
Signs and sh*t we threw up (That we threw up)
I got used to shootouts (Used to shootouts)
We ditched school to boot up (To boot up)
Smoke an opp, now who up? (Now who up?)
I got rich, now who up? (Rich, now who up?)
Now everybody knеw us (They knew us)


They ain't nеver knew us (Never knew us)

[Verse 1, Lil Zay Osama]
The floors was hard to sleep on
Tryna f**k my cousin's cousin
We was 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
Eat ramen noodles in the house
It's like Roc South up in the crib

My house was the trap house
I let the guys in through the back
My OG let 'em back out
I let my bitch in through the back

I was tryna blow her back out
I live what I rap 'bout
Blow thirty as I back out
They must wanna die now

This just how I blew up
All these bitches ain't wanna
Fuck before a nigga blew up
If it's war, then it's war
Tell them niggas, "Suit up"
Now a nigga got some money
They say I'm doin' too much
They say I'm doin' too much

[Chorus, Lil Zay Osama]
We had to rob and beat the buckets
'cause we ain't had sh*t (We ain't had sh*t)
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 (Average)
Daddy wasn't there
So the streets made me a savage (I'm a savage)
This just how I grew up (How I grew up)
Signs and sh*t we threw up (That we threw up)
I got used to shootouts (Used to shootouts)
We ditched school to boot up (To boot up)
Smoke an opp, now who up? (Now who up?)
I got rich, now who up? (Rich, now who up?)
Now everybody knew us (They knew us)
They ain't never knew us (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 rollin' with my shooters
Bitches fuckin' with the opps again
Look how they do us

Uh

Shots fired, we was totin' 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 steppin' 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 sh*t (We ain't had sh*t)
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 (Average)
Daddy wasn't there
So the streets made me a savage (I'm a savage)
This just how I grew up (How I grew up)
Signs and sh*t we threw up (That we threw up)
I got used to shootouts (Used to shootouts)
We ditched school to boot up (To boot up)
Smoke an opp, now who up? (Now who up?)
I got rich, now who up? (Rich, now who up?)
Now everybody knew us (They knew us)
They ain't never knew us (Never knew us)
