Shoota - Grow Up

〈hook〉
As a youngan, i had dreams, planned on making it out
As a youngan, i had schemes, they tried taking me out
They just wanna see me bleed, know it's danger around
My momma ask me in the night, "what you been praying about?"
In the mirror saying one day
I'ma get money and jump on stages when i grow up
I'ma make my whole city famous when i grow up
I'ma get my brothers out them cages when i grow up
Shit was just a dream, somebody shoulda told me grow up

〈verse 1〉
Just a youngan and i'm misinformed
In the streets like j. cole, no, i ain't do this shit before
Couldn't heal my pain and so i bottled that like liquor stores
Couldn't get no handouts, so my niggas started kicking doors
Looked up to the sky and wonder why he took my niggas for
We don't like our opps inside the pen, we like them in the morgue
Venting on these tracks cause we had plans to push aventadors
Never dropped my music as a youngan, i was insecure
This shit ain't go according to plan
I had aspirations, thinking i'd do more than i can
Man, this shit just pay-to-win, you ain't affording the chance
I said fuck it, hit the booth and i'm recording again

I'ma make my whole city famous when i grow up
I'ma get my brothers out them cages when i grow up
Shit was just a dream, somebody shoulda told me grow up
〈verse 2〉
All my dreams ain't coming true, only my nightmares
Can't believe i lost my nigga, remember you was right there
Battling my demons and these niggas never fight fair, niggas know my type rare
Watch how you talk to me, we come from poverty
Heart of the streets, i'm like the artery, ain't no apologies
I know they feeling animosity, they want the drop on me
God took my bro, that shit's a robbery, they took my heart from me
I'm praying that i hit the lottery or labels call on me
I treat my block like private property, like why they watching me
I know them voices tryna talk to me
Niggas switched up on me, turned to ghosts like it was halloween
Thought i'd make it out this shit like biggie, it was all a dream
