I ran through them spots with you and f**ed the same b**hes too And just because I rocked with you I scrapped with them n***as too Came back for them n***as too, ain't no trappin' n***a it's true Yet they play me on repeat cause I rap for them n***as too They see I started with nothing but pa**ion and then I blew To the Roc, damn the tops a spectacular f**ing view Visions of home, Visions of home Visions of home, Visions of home (Yeah) Visions of home, this is my zone This is my joy, this is my pain, this is my song This is for my cousin Ricky, damn n***as its been too long Hate that my n***a Smitty slangin' but to each his own Gotta feed yo'self, smoke a little weed just to ease yo'self f** the whole world I don't need your help You're the reason why momma had those rocks All my n***as never even had no pops 'Memba that, you remember that?
