[Intro: ANoyd]
We almost there though
I'm from a city where people look at me crazy
I'm from a city where people look at me crazy
Smile cause I'm strong and free, man I played the safety
[Verse 1: ANoyd]
I'm from a city where people look at me crazy
Smile cause I'm strong and free, man I played the safety
And by shaking my hand I can see you shaky
I ain't buying this just for the entry
Like a Macy's in your local mall
Seems like nobody respects the lady
Try to put an, 'If and they but,' but they tell you, 'Maybe'
My childhood went and it didn't accommodate me
Went to 13 in 35 seconds Tracy McGrady
Imma god driven, prayer every day family kinda person
Respected enough to have a crib without buying curtains
After this line don't mistake me for Donald Sterling
White b**hes on the yacht like I'm Kyrie Irving
Littering on the beach, yeah that's sure fine
Knocking my sh** I gotta do not disturb sign
You at the store looking at chips and its hard work
Nobody f** with a poor grind
Connecticut so small man nobody see us
I gotta work ten times as hard cause I gotta message
And that waters down sh** is diarrhea
Probably fit my whole damn state in Toyota Prius
Show them whites everyday not just once in a while for me
I never listen when they said, "Single foul," for me
Scared when they see my team cracking down for me
Yeah, I just pray my city smile for me
[Bridge 1: ANoyd]
Man I asked you for a smile not a loan
I asked you for a prayer not twenty dollars
I asked you for a hug not a hundred dollars
I asked you for a smile and I'm hoping you smile for me Connecticut, yeah
Smile for me Connecticut
Smile for me Connecticut, yeah
Trying to do this sh** right now for you Connecticut
I get up on that stage and bow for you
[Verse 2: ANoyd]
And I recently hit the 2,4
Branching out from the bottom they want to root for us
I know it's something I want my neck in a noose for it
Breed and Nitty always gonna produce for it
What ANoyd got next, chat in the group for it
Swear to god I be laying down in the soup for it
They saying, "ANoyd ain't gon' make it, I'm calling it."
I don't respect your call so I'm bout to shoot for it
Watch me running everything over six sense
Pressure on me, that's something we never witnessed
I ain't pushing for a single trying to be the best ever
So don't say my name in vain like a slit wrist
Waking up to the dream that I had a dream about, that I slept in had a dream that I woke up to
And It cost you zero dollars and zero cents to see my city smiling
All I asked for-
[Hook: ANoyd]
Man I asked you for a prayer not a loan
I asked you for a prayer not twenty dollars
I asked you for a hug not a hundred dollars
I asked you for a smile
(x2)
[Bridge 2: ANoyd]
And I'm hoping you smile for me Connecticut, yeah
Smile for me Connecticut, yeah
Smile for me Connecticut, yeah
Trying to do this sh** right now for you Connecticut
I get up on that stage and bow for you Connecticut
Smile for me Connecticut, yeah
Smile for you Connecticut, yeah
Trying to do this sh** right now for you Connecticut
I get up on that stage and bow for you Connecticut
I'm sitting right here and saying my vows for you Connecticut, yeah
Smile for me Connecticut, yeah
Smile for me Connecticut, yeah
[Hook: ANoyd]
Man I asked you for a smile not a loan
I asked you for a prayer not twenty dollars
I asked you for a hug not a hundred dollars
I asked you for a smile
