How I Grew Up Lyrics by G Herbo & Southside ft 21 Savage

[Intro – G Herbo & 21 Savage]
Money calling me “whoa, whoa”, trouble following me
I’ma street n—a “whoa” and I’ma always be “whoa”
And my momma know I’m “whoa” good so she don’t pray for me “whoa”
I’m just a street n—a “whoa” and I’ma always be

[Hook/Chorus – G Herbo & 21 Savage]
We was gangbanging, that’s how I grew up “yeah”
Out there selling work “yeah”, that’s how I grew up “yeah”
Younging shooting s–t up “yeah”, that’s how I grew up “yeah”
I put in that work “straight up”, that’s how I blew up “straight up”
Man f–k them n—-s “straight up”, they ain’t nothing like us “straight up”
We don’t talk to cops “straight up”, that’s how I grew up “on God”
We just s–t-out bops, “on God”, that’s how I grew up “on God”
All day on the block “on God”, that’s how I grew up

[Verse 1 – G Herbo]
On the Eastside of Chiraq, that’s where I grew up
OG ain’t let me on Essex until I grew up
When G Fazo died in 2010, I just ain’t give a f–k
‘Member me and Manski on the phone an hour T’ing up
Fourteen, we was young as f–k, all ready to f–k s–t up
Coming up, no fear in us, we ready to kill some
Lil Roc died, Rellski turned himself in for a year or some
Trapping so hard, told ’em leave the line and watch us still run it
Back then I was sixteen, probably running up a fifteen
Then I started spitting 16s, rapping 16s by my 16th
N—a 16, yeah, them my blocks
Four blocks, can’t switch, four blocks that way
Four blocks up, four blocks back
We run our s–t and the opp’s
“Gang, gang”

[Hook/Chorus – G Herbo & 21 Savage]
We was gangbanging, that’s how I grew up
Out there selling work, that’s how I grew up “yeah”
Younging shooting s–t up, that’s how I grew up “yeah”
I put in that work, that’s how I blew up “straight up”
Man f–k them n—-s “f–k ’em”, they ain’t nothing like us “yeah”
We don’t talk to cops “yeah”, that’s how I grew up “on God”
We just s–t-out out bops “bops”, that’s how I grew up “gat”
All day on the block “gat”, that’s how I grew up “straight up”

[Verse 2 – 21 Savage]
Right on Central Drive “straight up” where I grew up at “straight up”
Right on Glenwood Road “straight up” where I grew up at “straight up”
R.I.P to Tayman, d–n my brother kept it a stack “straight up”
R.I.P to Johnny, d–n my brother kept that strap “on God”
Selling 2 for 5’s how I came up, dog “on God”
I came up out the p—y, I was flamed up, dog “on God”
Used to be my n—a, but you changed up dog “on God”
Chopper thunderstorm, you get rained up, dog “on God”
You can check the stats, you can ask the opps
Who on top with this body dropping s–t, n—a, gang “yeah, facts”
Ask around, Savage’ll get ya a-s stained “yeah, facts”
On probation, still riding with the thang “yeah, facts”
Half of these rappers ain’t s–t without a chain “21”
Straight up out the six, yeah, free my n—a (?) “21”
Two revolvers on my waist, n—a, John Wayne “21”
Free my n—a (?), yeah, he known to let it bizzang “facts”
You b—h is a freak, got her f—–g on the gizzang “straight up”
Bought a hunnid round drum, n—a, I don’t need no izzaim “straght up”
Chopper on the seat when I pull up at the flizzame “straght up”
Shout out to G Herbo, it’s a 21 No Limit thizzang “21”

[Hook/Chorus – G Herbo & 21 Savage]
We was gangbanging, that’s how I grew up
