Growin’ Up lyrics

by

Ice Cube


[Intro]
Ha ha
That's my sh*t
Turn it up {*echoes*}
Uhh
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I hear a beat like this, and think about growin up
House parties, with gangbangers showin up
Represent your hood, everybody throw it up
They say Cube get on the mic, n*gga blow it up
I used to be lyrical, political
But now you want it sugarcoated like cereal
First I met Dre, then I met Yella (yessir)
Dr. Dre made me rap acapella
Me and Jinx did a show at Dooto's
With K-Dee, I think it was two shows
Then Dre introduced me to E
Cruisin down the street in his red Jeep
He said, yo n*ggas we should flip it like this
Cause them Boyz N the Hood like the gangsta sh*t
I put the pen to the pad, young n*gga was raw
And told the world how we felt about the law
It was real
[Chorus: samples + Ice Cube]
I see the happiness (All day every day)
I see the pain
Where am I (Growin' up in the hood)
Back down memory lane
I see the happiness (All day every day) (Yea, ha ha ha)
I see the pain (Oh sh*t)
Where am I (Growin' up in the hood)
Back down memory lane

[Verse 2]
Oh sh*t, it's N.W.A.!
Them n*ggas on tour and they comin our way
Lil' Eminem is still tucked away
In that trailer park, just bumpin our tape
Jerry Heller tried to make his escape
I had to bounce, while other n*ggas got raped
Same n*ggas turned around and said f*ck me
No f*ck YOU cause I'm down with Chuck D
And I'm 'bout to do a movie up, a classic
When I hit the screen, n*gga it was magic
Never thought I'd see Eazy in a casket (Damn)
Thanks for everythang, that's on everythang
I learned a lot of game from you (Uh huh)
I like your son, he got his name from you
I tell him everythang that he need to know
If he ask my advice, I won't think twice, homey
[Chorus: samples + Ice Cube]
I see the happiness (All day every day)
I see the pain
Where am I (Growin' up in the hood)
Back down memory lane
I see the happiness (All day every day) (Yea)
I see the pain (Hah)
Where am I (Growin' up in the hood)
Back down memory lane

[Verse 3]
From Boyz N The Hood, to XXX 2
Everybody wanna know my next move
Fans all around say "We love you Cube!"
I wanna take time to say I love you too
I love all my fans cause they know I'm a man
And not a little boy or some f*ckin play toy
A lot of n*ggas say I grew up on you
And let me know if anybody f*ck wit'chu
Cause you talk a lot of sh*t about the red, black & blue
And how they treat a n*gga called Katrina, did you see her
White folks worry 'bout them f*ckin misdemeanor
While black people dyin in that God damn arena
Just because I'm actin n*gga never stop rappin
It's in my blood homey, I'mma keep the party crackin
Money keep stackin 'til they put me in a casket
Who you think you f*ckin wit? Here's another classic
[Chorus: samples + Ice Cube]
I see the happiness (All day every day)
I see the pain (Yea, you know)
Where am I (Growin' up in the hood)
Back down memory lane
I see the happiness (All day every day) (Uh huh)
I see the pain (Growin' up)
Where am I (Growin' up in the hood)
Back down memory lane

[Ice Cube]
I'm Ruthless, I'm Ruthless..
Street Knowledge..
Lench Mob..
Westside..
Uh..

[Chorus: samples + Ice Cube]
I see the happiness (All day every day)
I see the pain
Where am I (Growin' up in the hood)
Back down memory lane

[Outro]
Love that sh*t
