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
