Fate Wilson/Keon Bryce/Ludacris Growing Pains Lyrics

[Fate Wilson]
Okay, I remember the days
High Rise, Lil Lefts, Even Stevens and Fate
Troops Lotto and BK's those was the days
High tech boots spray paintin' wit'cha name
T-shirts airbrushed that read the same
They carryin Bone's chain
One gold wit yo initials
Harris photos group shots can you remember
Berian told his b____ go to the prom and die
Didnt lie shot his-self in the head with the 4-5
When she disobeyed, had North Clayton craze
Just to reiterate dog those was the days
Fo' da invasions of hatas I aint cool to mile around
Use to get down at True Flavas b__pin Key Lo
Walkin' damage cross colored and Paco
While play-boys stepped in talent shows
Prom nights tux and Kangol is so cool
f___ them new model cars we ridin' old school (old school)

[Chorus - Keon Bryce]
We was tryin so hard
Hard to survive
Cause even though we were young
We had to stay strong
No matter what we went through
It was me and my crew
And thats how it went
When we were kids

[Fate Wilson]
In 3 months we stayed in Jamestown
Hamwood and Diplomats
Played with Transformers, G.I. Joe's and Thundercats
We was lovin' that
Before to started jackin jacks
For notes from Red Oaks had folks scared to come through
College Park after dark
Crown Victorias police unmarked cars
Be aware...w___ wiggas was out there
But we didnt care kids was gettin' stabbed and ditched out there
To busy playin'...Double Dare
You touched shorty on the a__ that's a bet
Want ya Kool-Aid and sugar smack ya hands and say sweat
It's mine now place it in my Louie Vutton pouch
Thump a n____ on his knuckles make him say ouch
Slout socks box Chevy Caprice
Hot knees cut da holes Disturbing Tha Peace
Wit no conscience broke n____s call em nonsense
No comments, it's little fate payin' homage to College Park

[Ludacris]
I had a Long John but no Silver
No gold or platnum
I was simply red from the years I been holdin' back
With 2 sides to a book I lick stamps and light matches
And set fires in garbage pales and cabbage patches
A child of the corn been wild since I was born
Climbin' over barb wire clothes got torn
Shoes got muddy and my clique turned cruddy
Wherever I go they went they my buddys
I brush teef brush naps and cause treats
Dreamin' of Cadillac wid wheels and plush seats
Cats with gold teeth and raps with such beats
Macks with no grief and some sacks of green leaf
When I loaded my cap gun I was ready for ACTION!
Starin' at beer cans and a moment to crack one
Wanna hang with the big boys and play with the big toys
And be with the people makin all that g______ noise,

[Chorus - Keon Bryce (x2)]
We was tryin so hard
Hard to survive
Cause even though we were young
We had to stay strong
No matter what we went through
It was me and my crew
And thats how it went
When we were kids
