We Grown

Dark Gritty Rap

Lyrics

Description

Yeah... Ain’t nobody teach us nothin’ Just survival... Just hustle... Now we grown

Mama noddin’ off with a cigarette burnin’ Kitchen lights flicker while the crack pipe turnin’

Old heads on the corner said boy go get it By thirteen I was posted with a coat full of digits

Seen a man get dropped over rocks in pride Next day same block, same fiends outside

Nobody cry alone, shit death was normal When hell′s your backyard, pain′s almost formal

OG told me feelings get you killed So I buried every ounce of softness I felt

Started movin’ that way just to help mom see Now the devil knows my name and he grins when we speak

Police ride by slow with disgust in their eyes Like I chose this life before I learned to tie my shoes tight

Teachers said potential, streets said prove it Hard to dream big when your whole hood′s losing

We grown Now we stuck with the best that we made

Raised in the dark, now we live in the shade Tryna act tough while our souls decay

We grown And I know this life gone dig my grave

But this pride′s too strong just to ask for change Ain′t got the strength to walk away

We grown I don′t know peace, I know survival instincts

Know how to bag work, hide straps in the sink Know how to read danger when the room gets tense

But don′t know love or how to deal with stress Every conversation turns rage of violence

Cause nobody ever taught us how to sit in silence Bottle full of liquor just to quiet my head

But them demons get louder every night in bed See my little homie walk the same road I took

Tryna be the man cause the broken ones look Like heroes when you young

And your fridge stayed empty till prison Or coughing with the streets resent me

And I′m tired But I can′t let them know

In my world weak hearts get swallowed whole So I wear this mask till the casket close

Even though deep down I know I need hope

We grown Now we stuck with the best that we made

Raised in the dark, now we live in the shade Tryna act tough while our souls decay

We grown And I know this life gone dig my grave

But this pride too strong just to ask for change Ain′t got the strength to walk away

We grown They say man up that′s all we heard

Nobody healed us just gave us pain Now we fathers with trauma we never faced

Broken men raising kids the same way And that′s the curse, that′s the cycle

That′s why these streets feel tribal

I used to think the money made me somebody Till I looked around and everybody gone to body

Now I sit alone with this weight on my chest A grown man still feeling lost and possessed

Ain′t no violins when you come from the gutter Just sirens, cold nights, pain and hunger

And maybe I was doomed from the start But being raised wrong don′t unbreak your heart

So I wake up, hit the block, play my role Cause after all these years, shit

We grown
