"GREW UP MAD" lyrics

I grew up broke, cold nights no heater
Mum's stressin' out, dad's gone like a cheater
Council flats, rats runnin' past my sneakers
No dream, just schemes, man turn into dealers
Feds on the blocks, man duckin' and divin'
Every other week, another bredrin's survivin'
School didn't teach me shit, they just lyin'
Real life came fast, no time for cryin'
Yeah, like a rat in a hole
I'm stuck to the core

I grew up mad into the dark
I grew up fast, no time to slack
Heart full of rage, eyes dyed in black
Stuck in the rain, I grew up rough
Please love me hard, please love me fast
I need you

They told me "You're just another stat."
Now I'm on tracks, and I bite like a gnat
Still got scars that never go flat
Every bar I spit is a piece of my map
Fuck peace, I never knew the feel
I knew cold meals and fake-ass deals
I knew keep quiet or end up killed
I knew run fast or get blood spilled
Fuck!

I grew up mad into the dark
I grew up fast, no time to slack
Heart full of rage, eyes dyed in black
Stuck in the rain, I grew up rough
Please love me hard, please love me fast
I need you

Don't tell me 'bout grind
If you ain't felt war, no
Don't preach hope if you
If you ain't been poor, no
This pain in my chest, oh
It speaks through the lore
I've grown up mad, now
I settle the score

I grew up mad into the dark
I grew up fast, no time to slack
Heart full of rage, eyes dyed in black
Stuck in the rain, I grew up rough
Please love me hard, please love me fast
I need you

I grew up mad into the dark
I grew up fast, no time to slack
Heart full of rage, eyes dyed in black
Stuck in the rain, I grew up rough
Please love me hard, please love me fast
I need you

I grew up mad into the dark
I need you
I grew up fast, no time to slack
