grow up

Chorus

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but

Verse 1]

At fourteen, me and my friends was runnin' round reckless

Six of us, no car, so the bus was a blessing

It was cold, middle of winter, but it felt like heaven

When I could run to a window and get seven McDoubles for seven

Dollars, we was kids, just tryna live

We would freestyle for hours, we all swore we'd be big

We would drink like fish, 'cause the bottle's what they told us

Would get the girls, so we did it, and the bottle was the closest

I been reminiscing lately, and it's scary

I been tryin' to understand why I miss bein' very

Broke, but I think I know, and I think it's just the thought

That my mom was always there, and it's crazy that she's not

I think about the love I felt, how I felt when I heard

"Son, don't you forget me, don't you let me leave this earth"

When I looked in your eyes, saw the person that you were

It's so hard to say goodbye, so instead, I wrote a verse

Chorus

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but

Verse 2

At fifteen, my first love, I was buggin', doin' too much

She loved me through it, I was clueless, then we grew up

I was so new to love, all the people I hurt

That I thought was just flirtin' on my journey to learn

How to treat the women in my life that love me the most

Thinkin' I could make up for the pain with a post

That said, "I love you" or "I miss you" or some text

You only know how much you love someone when they gone, so what did I expect?

That she would just be gone for a minute?

Then come back to me when she saw that I did it

And then my dad got real sick, now it's serious

And I don't know if he gon' make it through, I'm curious

Of the outcome, the thought of it is loud

I was told, "Make him proud," so now I'm stressin' 'bout how

I'm supposed to keep this going when I lost all my friends

I lost all my family, don't think I'll see 'em again

Chorus

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but

Chorus

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

I'ma get mine, never asked for no favors

In this life, either prey or you predator

We was just kids, but we had to grow up

We was just kids, but
