Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
They try say man will end up dead or in jail
Now look at the mandem, we’re doin’ well
We’re poppin’ champagne and gettin’ girls
And we’re hoppin’ on planes around the world
Not bad for a brudda that grew up from the block
Not bad for a man that never grew with a lot
I remember when I used to hide food in my socks
Now gyal are whinin’ to my tunes in the club
I remember when the olders try send man to cunch
They try gas me up and show me fake love
From a young buck, I knew what I was on
But we thank God, we kept it true from the jump
Now I celebrate with my brothers [With my brothers
Now I’m cuttin’ cake with my brothers [With my brothers
And we pray for greatness in abundance
‘Cause all the mandem
Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
Yo, ayy
Grew up in the same place that Sterling and George did
This is dedication, darg, I didn’t forfeit
My ends are dangerous, but at the same time it’s gorgeous
And I wouldn’t change it for anythin’
And I just spoke to my brother Star and he buss a little tear
He said, “You’ve been goin’ hard, darg, and your still here”
There was like twenty of us, some ended up doin’ years
I had to do my ting and let them do theirs
But look now, my career looks bright
This is what Black excellence looks like
We live life and book flights, yeah
Pure greatness nothin’ but good vibes, yeah
Now we celebrate with the brudders [With the brudders
Poppin’ champagne with the brudders [With the brudders
And we pray for greatness in abundance
Ha, mad move, all the mandem
Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
Grew up in a bad place, tryna live good
Where nuff of the mandem get misunderstood
My mama tried the best that she could
But it’s not easy growin’ up in the hood
