[Trae Tha Truth - Grew Up a Screw Up lyrics]
Check it, check it, check it
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a screw up to
The best of my knowledge
I continue through out the streets
Can't tell you shit about college
I chose my own path on a lonely
Road - to try an get paid
And pray to God me and my niggas will
Never have to lay in no grave
I never got to be like Mike
Cause I ended up like my brother
Livin crazy in these streets
But an angel around my mother
Fascinated by the light in the
Night, and the money, and hoes
The clothes, and all the whips
And the diamonds - while they swangin on 4's
I got my first gun, headed for my first lick
My nigga switched it up and he
Was headed for his first brick
Either way that it went
We both was gon'try an get paid
And wasn't no way in hell they
Was gon'stick me with minimum age
It ain't take but thirty - seconds
To make up my mind
And it took me by the dirt
And that took the side that I had to shine
And I was gon'get it whether
It was legal or crime
I had to get a piece even if
It lead me to doin some time
Whether they like it or not this
Rappin done got me settled
Every since a youth I hit the gas
With my weight on the pedal
Dinkie told me this gon'be my
Ticket to leave the hood
And when they see me now these
Niggas know it's all good
I ain't finna let shit get in my way
It took me a second to get here
I'm the champion of the streets
So it's understood I'm a sit here
Lord knows how many fuck ups
It took for me to get here
It's only room for one
All you extra niggas can't fit here
Even if I was a screw up -
I turned out bein' a ghetto star
With a teacher's salary invested inside
Of my ghetto car
I guess it ain't all that bad to be who I am
I'd do it all again just to show
These niggas 'bout who I am (nigga)
Well I guess growin up a screw up
Ain't all that bad huh
Mothafuckers told a nigga -
He wasn't gon'be shit
Them hoes still doin the
Same mothafuckin thing nigga
I'm movin round this bitch
Five mothafuckin whips
Takin care of my mothafuckin son
My mothafuckin'gang
And everything I represent
Yeah if I had to do this shit all over again
I wouldn't change a mothafuckin thing
Mayne - Trae Tha Truth, yeah
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a fuckin screw up
Got introduced to the game
To the game and fuckin blew up
I grew up a screw up to
The best of my knowledge
I continue through out the streets
Can't tell you shit about college
I chose my own path on a lonely

And pray to God me and my niggas will
