I rep dub city I rep high street Kildares, move down the street to Barnaby's Constantly partying on walnut street In my mind I got the summer of '09 on repeat Nights we had to dig down Having a heart to heart with Sam in front of riggtown Damn I miss that girl Squad D, four, two, five I miss that world I'm from a one stoplight kind of town Not the urban metropolis of center cities and chinatowns We had to drive a half hour just to catch a flic It was always a debate Who's buying gas for the trip Low crime rates Taking girls on prom dates The day I got caught smoking pot at my pop's place You should've seen the look on my mom's face I know I put you through the ringer momma Remember when I told I wanted to be a singer mama You told me not to rush Throwing a ring on her finger mama Don't let the sting of the time I spent at Methodist sting ya mama Don't let it linger mom I see you Stack I see you Phil I see you Benny I see you Banks Think about all the miles that we burned on my tank Bombing around 'Nam like it was sixty-six Ramsey street Fort Bragg All the way to the sticks It got me dizzy y'all Picture me at twenty-three Spitting on broad street right in front of city hall I won't stop til we say that we did it y'all I'm out in L.A. with Wais Shout outs to Siggy dawg I'm from the place to be So many different faces to meet Different ladies to greet I'm from a place where the kids felt safe in the street On the other hand I know some heads Who ain't from the safest streets A place where it's routine to see Addicts shooting base in the streets Face it, it's plain to see basically Me and Sy guy come from two different walks of life Still we keep it one We ain't ashamed to agree I got love for the strawberry mansion section Upstate PA Coal mining was the profession Hometown, Nesqhuehoning and Jim Thorpe My fam got some Czech in them Not sure whether from the south or the north I'm my aunt's nephew My parents snatched me with that brown paper bag money As a bargaining gesture Coming live from the 6-1-izzo Sneaking out my house in the West, West, Gr-izzove Now I'm coming to you live from the west cizzoast Also known as the left, left, left cizzoast Used to take the Ben Frank to seventy-six Rooted for the Sixers, Phillies Eagles, Flyers as a kid Still do Still will 'til the death of me Harry Kalas you the man Forever rest in peace Got to tip my hat to Donavan and Andy Reid Bubba Chuck was my idol even after he left the league Now I take The 134 to The 5 Just to see my girl Tell her hop in my ride Shout outs to Philly Blunt up in Boston I rep the lone star state like Isaiah Shout outs to Austin That's where I spent the minority of my childhood Before we moved back north towards Wildwood I rep Lakeway, Lake Travis I called them my homes Youpon, Bee Cave, The Field of Dreams and Live Oak Every day is just another blessing Shout outs to where I'm heading West of Reading, Wyomissing Switch it up for a minute You could listen I could take you to the coke machine That made an appearance in Witness My cities have produced scholars and fiends Some ran with it Others squandered their dreams My city's produced scholars and fiends Some ran with it And others squandered their dreams But not me See where I'm from we ain't ever got shown no love We don't expect shit So no, you don't owe us none Nada, zip, zilch
