"Grew Up a Screw Up" is one of the "Release" songs off the album Release Therapy, whose lead single was "Money Maker." The song describes how Ludacris grew up in a bad environment. He says that he knew he had to do something in his life to be successful. The chorus samples a Notorious B.I.G. verse from Tupac Shakur's 1995 song, "Runnin' (From tha Police)" (itself sampled and released as "Runnin' (Dying to Live)" on the 2003 album Tupac Resurrection). Ludacris does the first and third verse. Young Jeezy does the second verse where he also raps about how he grew up and how he dropped out of school at grade 8. On the Release Therapy version, Young Jeezy raps and references songs and artists from Disturbing tha Peace, Ludacris' record label. In Jeezy's rap he makes references to Field Mob, Playaz Circle, Shawnna's "Gettin' Some", and Ludacris' "Pimpin' All Over the World".

The music video's concept is not as complex as other videos featuring Ludacris. It is shot outdoors, where Ludacris and Young Jeezy rap. Behind them is a screen that shows videos and pictures of the places where they grew up. It was directed by Chaka Zulu and premiered on BET's 106 & Park on October 13, 2006.
