How Much We Grew Lyrics

    [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
