Yeah
Straight from Ellis Island
Straight to Ellis Island then they hopped up off the boat
Straight to Ellis Island then they hopped up off the boat
Turned into a pilot in that fight or flight mode
Raised up in America where dreams are bought and sold
For the cheap for the low got their visa so they on
New world freezing wear two coats they were leaving what was known
Working for cheese until their own were completely all afloat
From Naples and Barlarmo
Brooklyn Kicked in the door
No Biggie for them at all
The living had them involved
In mobs
Menial jobs
Keeping from madigans
Communities of their own
Italian Discrimination made the nation looking low
Jim Crow Sicilians fought history books never taught ugh
Working for the man until Made enough dough
Grandfather was the goat, poverty to six figures
Now the jewelry on wrist is looking a bit bigger
Just feigning to be winners yeah
Straight to Ellis Island then they hopped up off the boat
Straight to Ellis Island then they hopped up off the boat
Turned into a pilot in that fight or flight mode
Raised up in America where dreams are bought and sold
For the cheap for the low
Jersey I was born
Coming from a toxic home
Ma and father always fought
Dad's bipolar episodes mom him are never calm
I've been seeking for some more
Moved to Phoenix years ago
Dodging bullets smoking dro
Always keeping on the low
Always reaping what I sew
Under heat like tanning booths
Pushing me to working more
Fighting demons of my own
Fight people trying test me
Check 'em like Nike's logo
Pulling switches on me, no
Go and Hit 'em like Stallone
Different creed came from the boats
The shore to Arizon'
Moving around more than drones
Came to Dover making sure
My roots stay grounded so I turn in the goat aye
Straight to Ellis Island then they hopped up off the boat
Straight to Ellis Island then they hopped up off the boat
Turned into a pilot in that fight or flight mode
Raised up in America where dreams are bought and sold
For the cheap for the low
Jersey I was born
Coming from a toxic home
Ma and father always fought
Dad's bipolar episodes
Momma and him never calm
I've been seeking for some more
Moved to Phoenix years ago
Coming from a toxic home
Ma and father always fought
Coming from a toxic home
Ma and father always fought
Coming from a toxic home
Ma and father always fought
Coming from a toxic home
As a kid I was lost
I found myself when I found my Ellis Island
Found my way there through distractions overcrowding
I found myself only some get allowed in
Some feels ways about it
They ain't taking down it
Now I live in ugh ugh
New conditions
Misery loves company
Mind tries giving in it ugh
Invites ain't sending I've been
I've been shifting
I've been, I've been
I've been
Yeah
Before was living blinded
But now my view is vibrant
Physically able to grasp
The visions I had
Lucid dreaming in reality
No longer a fallacy
Got the real inner me out of me
I was battling thoughts
But focused on myself
Got people I never met proud of me
Fans from Italy shouting these
Songs I made
But never been motherland
That's a crazy feeling
Now got more than a couple fans
Pettiness I'm running in
Distracted
My responsibilities dubbing em
Fucking with a woman
With her sights on another man
So I make sure my I show her
Who really got the upper hand (It's me)
My drive to win is fueled by pettiness and greed
And being better than whoever feeling better than me
Created my own lane (That's my own)
Had a few head on collisions
But I'm in a new plain
Where I've landed how I've risen
My thoughts in new train
Whatever method I'm drifting
And I got a new tank
Hit sixty in ten seconds
Won't slow for a new babe
New ways new frame of mind (New frame)
New picture perfect picture and clean wall to hang it on (Let's go)
That's a little a different
I've been lifted
I've been feeling richer
And I ain't got new dollar with em
I've been I've been thinking
What's stopped me to reach this before?
Was insecurities or people trying to sink my boat?
I've been- damn
