How Much We Grew

Intro:

yeah this next joint right here...

is dedicated to all my niggas that I love

all the niggas that held it down with me through the whole shit

from the beginning of the fort, to the now current day of the fort

from the beginning and the birth of this whole shit

to the now success of this whole shit

and all my peoples that be holdin it down for their peoples

ridin with them through thick and thin, love y'all niggas

peep it

CHORUS 2X:

1, 2

Everytime I sit and take a look at how we grew so much my niggas

1, 2

All the things I do, you know I will hold my flags for you my niggas

[verse 1]

now, this how the shit all started

was like doctors of ? I was being conceived kinda retarded

like, and while my moms was conceiving this beautiful baby

doctors was the this woman's stress out of this Jamaican lady

Pops beef and straight carrying on

nobody realizing how the god was now being born

ayo, yo, 1, 2

while they was wildin and shit

they couldn't even find my pulse, sonogram on the frisk

so, they tried a natural birth, but had to stop production

baby stuck all up in the womb, another malfunction

1, 2

and now the doctors discover

they had to cut this lady's gut, and c-section me out of my mother

Pop duke could only sit and ask why

looked up in the sky and begged for mercy from the most high

c'mon, now, 1, 2

see now the day would feel blessed

watching the birth of a precious baby life manifest

see how that bugged me out

CHORUS

[over chorus]

that shit, that type shit be buggin me out cuz...

y'know niggas, nigga look back

to them days when you know shit is kinda ill like y'knawmean?

nigga, niggas like fall out, y'knawmean?

motherfuckers is, niggas live long enough to look back and shit and

laugh and shit, y'knawmean?

[verse 2]

young and learnin shit that started is thick

started inquiring alot, started using my dick

like I knew it all but I wasn't really knowin and shit

buggin when my pubic hairs started growin and shit

now hold up, a young nigga now a couple years pass

searchin desperate to experience my first piece of ass

now, gettin into mischief and caught my first arrest

started smoking weed and started totin on them cigarettes

eyes bloodshot like I was starin at a highbeam

nigga only twelve so why he lookin like he nineteen?

1, 2

the fast life baby, young with an old soul

from the past life baby

a young nigga wanted things and wanted money quick

ambitious on the Amtrak, wit a quarter brick

my nigga, 1, 2

it got hot in the streets

my nigga campaign the cops who started walkin the beat, my nigga

trouble causin too much problems just me and my brother

made mommy a grandma and shacked up with my babymother

now it a seed, I was always ready to clap shit

strugglin, so then I start fuckin 'round with this rap shit

moved to Long Island and got up with a few niggas

believin we could show the world we was the Leaders Of the New niggas

a crew of niggas that was hot like an infirmary

blazin til they started actin like bitches internally

so now, Flipmode is how we own it fo' sho

tried to fuck with niggas but I couldn't do it no more

fo rilla, 1, 2

and then I got with some niggas

always wit it to multiply the gross and double the figgas

and then I, hit with bombs and hold a stack in my palms

whippin Bentleys, floss icy shit and take care of moms

give the local little old man a job as my chaeuffeur

hold it down for all my niggas til the movement is over

it's kinda beautiful

CHORUS repeats to end

[over chorus]

yeah, y'knawmean?

how we have acquired so much

where we can look back and, and actually laugh and lavish

in the, in the, in the moment

as we prime in life

look at how we, we struggled all this way and went through the bullshit

motherfuckin, little obstacles

situations they try to set up for niggas to fuckin fall off

and lose they hard earned shit, y'knowmean?

I holds it down for my niggas though

give my last to my niggas

all the niggas that was wit me through the whole shit

love y'all niggas, word

my Flipmode niggas, man
