Growing up didn't have shit
Mama raised us on her own, man that shit was magic
Remember all my friends were laughing
Tell me I should quit, nah I ain't making it with rapping
Growing up didn't have shit
Mama raised us on her own, man that shit was magic
As a kid, I would imagine
Being on a stage, never thought that I would have it
Lotta people on my back now
Heard them talking shit but I just put it in the background
Only focused on the task now
Do it for my family, we can't go back to that house
Told my mama imma do this
Promised her success so it's not possible to lose it
All those people called me stupid
Can't go back to how it was, that shit was so abusive
People all around me weren't supporting, shit was toxic
Listened to the hecklers, I tried my best to block it
Watched my dad get physical, I had no way to stop it
Now I'm looking back, I still got so much to accomplish
Talked about my dreams and people said that I was crazy
Let them keep on talking, didn't try to let it phase me
Mom and Dad had separated, thought that they would blame me
Thank you to my baby, loving you's the thing that saved me
Growing up didn't have shit
Mama raised us on her own, man that shit was magic
Remember all my friends were laughing
Tell me I should quit, nah I ain't making it with rapping
Growing up, didn't have shit
Mama raised us on her own, man that shit was magic
As a kid, I would imagine
Being on a stage, never thought that I would have it
