[Intro]
To goes out to all my young n***as growing up in the struggle
May you all live so you can grow to become young men
Yeah

[Chorus]
Rolling a blunt as I'm sipping on a lil liquor
Find me a flipper spit game then I try to dick her
On a hater I won't hesitate to pull the trigger
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a
Cops fast I'm just hoping I'm a lil quicker
Play it smooth I just gotta be a lil slicker
Life is a gamble man it's something like a flea flicker
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a

[Verse 1]
As a, pubescent adolescent this life a keep you guessing
Hoping for some light in the dark luminescent
Incandescent or fluorescеnt relives stressing
It Don't mattеr it you want it or not its life lessons
Take notes get a pen and pad
Back then throw backs was the latest of fads
Never own one myself left that on the shelf
Wasn't really into kicks but I still was the wick
On fire what other n***as desire
Them goods from a shorty is what I tried to acquire
Some homies sold dope and carried that gunfire
But its known to back fire some n***as had to retire
Ain't no harmony dealing with street pharmacy
Was raise in the country is always gone be a part of me
Rolling up blunts spark it puff it and pass
Not knowing being a kid is something that wouldn't last, nah
[Chorus]
Rolling a blunt as I'm sipping on a lil liquor
Find me a flipper spit game then I try to dick her
On a hater I won't hesitate to pull the trigger
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a
Cops fast I'm just hoping I'm a lil quicker
Play it smooth I just gotta be a lil slicker
Life is a gamble man it's something like a flea flicker
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a

[Verse 2]
When I was getting shine haters tried to eclipse
Bitch n***as couldn't fight so they reaching for clips
Handled any motherfucker who was running they lips
Jealously breeds envy when you stacking those chips
But, fuck n***as always over react
When they gone off that yac they don't know how to act
Taking trips to the strip driving round in the whip
Pull tricks for a fix while I'm rolling with six
Cause back then young girls got loose
Touching more heads than a game of duck duck goose
Legs so obtuse hitting that caboose
Trojan horse making sure that I didn't reproduce
Oh, think god for contraceptives
Rolling in these streets lord knows it really help us
15 too young for making babies
But life comes fast sometimes it's kinda crazy
[Chorus]
Rolling a blunt as I'm sipping on a lil liquor
Find me a flipper spit game then I try to dick her
On a hater I won't hesitate to pull the trigger
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a
Cops fast I'm just hoping I'm a lil quicker
Play it smooth I just gotta be a lil slicker
Life is a gamble man it's something like a flea flicker
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a

[Verse 3]
These streets ain't for the meek this shit is outta control
Cause this everyday life will make a heart turn cold
Ain't no smiles from young dude when they out on the block
Tryna live up in this world while evading the cops
Cause, racist pigs be attacking the youth
And the right wing media concealing the truth
Ain't no love for a young black American male
Shoot us dead or in jail man we living in hell
Racial profiling and mass incarceration
Corporate big wigs denying these applications
But want me with my hand on my chest stand for the nation
This shit ain't adding up refigure the calculation
Where's the, consequences and repercussions
Cops killed an innocent man and starting busting
They shoot first and ask questions last
Tell these pigs motherfuckers they can kiss my ass
[Chorus]
Rolling a blunt as I'm sipping on a lil liquor
Find me a flipper spit game then I try to dick her
On a hater I won't hesitate to pull the trigger
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a
Cops fast I'm just hoping I'm a lil quicker
Play it smooth I just gotta be a lil slicker
Life is a gamble man it's something like a flea flicker
This is what it's like growing up as a young n***a
