Daveed Diggs - Fresh From the Hood lyrics

[Intro] [Daveed Diggs] Breath of fresh air from a fairly fresh place Fresh jeans, fresh kicks, and a fresh face Old school to these freshmen and it tastes fresh squeezed to these morning streets I be OJ On BART listening to MP3's of these other MC's trying to figure how I'm different than Better than, Flip it then Let me be explicit and say "f** you" anybody that ain't Get Back specific Not to be a hater but I feel like something greater than Aligator face away from the game that I'm playing in Ba**-hits for these base-wits in the basement I'm basically based in this base from the bay sh** And they wanna say That the bottoms is the bottom but I'm calling it the top If they feel me then I got em on that Morrison Music for this Tony I'm pursuing act a fool for your amusement and you don't know why I do it I do it for my town, I do it for my gouda I do it for my favorite artists so pardon my Sula I do it for my pupils dilated in they schools who learn to cooly talk their sh** cause they been treated like manure My family for sure, who taught me to maneuver And said embrace your contradictions cause nothing is truer I'd let you be the juror but you lack all the facts Cause I'm under-represented cept for my voice on these tracks I'm picking up the slack of a bunch of lazy ears Thinking I'm just making noise, blood I've been around for years Shaking spears, kissing babies, making peers listen lately They say "Diggs, you on some other sh**" I tell 'em,"Maybe" Other than what? Other than Pac, other than Jay? Other than B.I.G, other than Jeezy, Weezy, or Drake? Other than say, a 40 Water although I keep my collar popped too? Other than Keak although that is often what I rock to? Is there anybody else you'd say this other sh** too? Am I gon be "other" whatever other sh** I do? Maybe I'm just other than famous Maybe I just have to accept that that's where I'll remain But if that's true It won't be due to lack of noise making I'm a hammer these lyrics till the songs break pavement I'm a cook these bars till the streets smell bacon I'm a pig eating everything that's there for the taking I'm making these statements just to get it on the record If you should hear it hold me to it this is not a lecture This is more a call to anybody within earshot That from now on like it or not this n***a Diggs is here I got A squad that a mob On the game at the drop Of a dime and its time That you all know the name This the Get Back behind me now watch how we game "Hi I'm Daveed Diggs and I've got something to say" I'm tired of worrying whether or not you will like it I'm tired of tripping off whether somebody gon' buy it I got a lot to holler, some bad, some good Keep listening you'll witness something (fresh from the hood)
