Busta Rhymes - How Much We Grew lyrics

Yeah, this next joint right here
Is dedicated to all my niggas that I love
All the niggas that held it down
With me through the whole shit
From the beginning of the fort
To the now current day of the fort
From the beginning and the birth
Of this whole shit
To the now success of this whole shit
And all my peoples that be holdin'
It down for their peoples
Ridin with them through thick and thin
Love y'all niggas peep it

1, 2 every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas 1, 2
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas 1, 2
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas 1, 2
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas

Now, this how the shit all started
Was like doctors of I was
Being conceived kinda retarded
Like, and while my moms was
Conceiving this beautiful baby
Doctors was the this woman's stress
Out of this Jamaican lady
Pops beef and straight carrying on
Nobody realizing how the god
Was now being born ayo, yo, 1, 2
While they was wildin' and shit
They couldn't even find my pulse
Sonogram on the frisk
So, they tried a natural birth
But had to stop production
Baby stuck all up in the womb
Another malfunction 1, 2
And now the doctors discover
They had to cut this lady's gut
And c-section me out of my mother
Pop duke could only sit and ask why
Looked up in the sky and begged
For mercy from the most high
C'mon, now, 1, 2
See now the day would feel blessed
Watching the birth of a
Precious baby life manifest
See how that bugged me out

1, 2 (That shit
That type shit be buggin me out 'cause)
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas
(Y'know niggas, nigga look back) 1, 2
(To them days when you know shit
Is kinda ill like y'knawmean?)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas
(Nigga, niggas like fall out, y'knawmean?)
1, 2 every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas
(Motherfuckers is
Niggas live long enough to look
Back and shit and) 1, 2
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas
(Laugh and shit, y'knawmean?)

Young and learnin' shit that started is thick
Started inquiring a lot
Started using my dick
Like I knew it all but I
Wasn't really knowin' and shit
Buggin when my pubic hairs
Started growin' and shit now hold up
A young nigga now a couple years pass
Searchin desperate to experience my
First piece of ass
Now, gettin' into mischief and
Caught my first arrest
Started smoking weed and started
Totin' on them cigarettes
Eyes bloodshot like I was
Starin' at a highbeam
Nigga only twelve so why he
Lookin' like he nineteen? 1, 2
The fast life baby, young with an old soul
From the past life baby
A young nigga wanted things
And wanted money quick
Ambitious on the Amtrak, with a quarter brick
My nigga, 1, 2 it got hot in the streets
My nigga campaign the cops who
Started walkin' the beat, my nigga
Trouble causin' too much problems just
Me and my brother
Made mommy a grandma and shacked
Up with my babymother now it a seed
I was always ready to clap shit
Strugglin', so then I start fuckin
'round with this rap shit
Moved to Long Island and got
Up with a few niggas
Believin we could show the world we was
The Leaders Of the New niggas
A crew of niggas that was
Hot like an infirmary
Blazin' 'til they started actin'
Like bitches internally
So now, Flipmode is how we own it fo' sho
Tried to fuck with niggas but I
Couldn't do it no more fo rilla, 1, 2
And then I got with some niggas
Always wit it to multiply the
Gross and double the figgas and then I
Hit with bombs and hold a stack in my palms
Whippin' Bentleys
Floss icy shit and take care of moms
Give the local little old man
A job as my chaeuffeur
Hold it down for all my niggas
Til the movement is over
It's kinda beautiful

1, 2 (yeah, y'knawmean?)
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas
(How we have acquired so much) 1, 2
(Where we can look back and
And actually laugh and lavish)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas
(In the, in the, in the moment)
1, 2 (As we prime in life)
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas
(Look at how we
We struggled all this way and
Went through the bullshit)
1, 2 (Motherfuckin', little obstacles)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas
(Situations they try to set up for
Niggas to fuckin' fall off) 1, 2
(And lose they hard earned shit, y'knowmean?)
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas
(I holds it down for my niggas though)
1, 2 (Give my last to my niggas)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas
(All the niggas that was wit
Me through the whole shit)
1, 2 (Love y'all niggas, word)
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas
(Love y'all niggas, word)
1, 2 (My Flipmode niggas, man)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas 1, 2
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas 1, 2
All the things I do, you know I will hold my
Flags for you my niggas 1, 2
Every time I sit and take a look at
How we grew so much my niggas, niggas
Niggas
