[Verse 1]
Since October 17, 1993, sunday afternoon
I was born With no teeth, trying to eat, making moves
R.I.P. is the cousin of sleep, so sleep I'd lose
Cause the first thing on my mind was take my time off of snooze
Age five
The young chosen one it was debated
They tested me and I showed out, so they couldn't fade it
Wasn't head of my cla** and still ain't to this day
Cause sometimes I let my personal sh** get in the way
[Bridge]
So I had to get away
Somewhere far where I could ride
Wasn't old enough yet
But somewhere where I could drive
If you ever had a vaca you know what I'm talking bout'
I heard the best place to go to get away was in the south
[Hook]
Best place to go to get away is in the South
Best, Best place to go to get away is in the South
Best place to go to get away is in the south
Back when I wanted spinners and some gold in my mouth
[Verse 2]
Thirteen on my solo
Crossed that Tennessee border
Inland living now
So no more shrimp by the water
More like a gumbo if my main thing was cooking
She too me upstairs in case her little sister was looking
Had to do this one time for Maya Porter and Casey
Got my pimp game tight in Murfreesboro I'm just saying
Had a snow bunny and my first love from Alabama
Chelsea who I hit up when I moved down to Atlanta
I'm a city boy but got love for the country at heart
If you're trying to clear your mind there's no better place to start
Went to D.C. for my diploma
Down south for my degree
Donnell Jones said it best
This is where I wanna be
All I wanted was some spinners and a foreign in my garage
But I never liked the candy coating mine was a collage
Built like a sub, a custom BCT
With a sub in the back and my sh** on repeat
Blacked out chrome rims tan leather seat
With a hint of fly n***a and a heater in the seat
She can keep that kitten warm until we're where we're supposed to be
On my n***a Zip K that Chevy Hump will proceed
[Verse 3]
Man I finally got away, somewhere far where I can ride
Bought my first ride, sold it, bought another all inside
All I wanted was a chrome grill no diamonds in my mouth
Riding through my city slow, like I'm swangin in the south
[Hook]
Best place to go to get away is in the South
Best, Best place to go to get away is in the South
Best place to go to get away is in the south
Back when I wanted spinners and some gold in my mouth
