VERSE 1
When I was just a young boy growing up in the USA
They put handcuffs on my father, and they took us all away.
Shipped me down to Carolina. Told me that's where I would stay.
Still, I don't regret one moment. Made me who I am today.
Said hey, hey
VERSE 2
Mmm...
Now I've been upstate, to Chicago, down to Memphis, Tennessee
From New York to Pennsylvania. Laid my head in the DMV.
Drove from Georgia to Oklahoma. Sunroof open, feeling free.
Traveled west to California.
Still ain't found another me.
VERSE 3
I stepped in the game with my word and my name
The shirt on my back and the burden of pain
Adversity came in the thick of the night, so I picked up the mic and I murdered that thang
I started from humble beginnings
The greatest, I'm done with pretending
I'm giving these youngins the business
You know me. I ball till I'm done with the innings
I'm strong, even if it don't show
Tell me where to go from here. I don't know
I feel like Trey Songz, yelling "I don't wanna leave."
Holding on like the leaves when a strong wind blows
Blowing strong indo
Writing hits, homie. Y'all didn't know?
Man, success is like a dollhouse, small windows
Doing me. Middle finger to the Carl Windslow
If I couldn't do this, I'd be on skid row
