Grew up in the heart of Eagleville
Not far from the tracks
I used to go down to them, watch while the smell of diesel filled
The air as the trains went past
I loved Thomas as a kid
And now I'm in love with a Thomas, and shit
Don't tell her I said that, she wouldn't care for the comparison
And that's fair but it's

Funny how life brings you round to the same places you started in
You think you've departed
But soon as I started to write these bars in my apartment
I remember, grew up in the heart of Eagleville
Right side of the tracks
And for every order that's forcing me forward
There's something that's bringing me back
Uh

When the drums hit, you know I love that shit
Grew up on Lucy and Kasey and Chris
Who is this kid? Margaret and Chris's
They gave me kisses, tried to grant my wishes
Did their best for me, so it's hard
To admit it gets to me when I show Dad rap
And he says to me it needs more guitar

Don't tell him I said that, he doesn't like to be mentioned
God knows where I got my need for attention
F*ck it I don't want it to seem like there's tension
I just mean I'm not the convention
Went from Blue's Clues to U2
To watching Watsky on YouTube
To walking down Shady Lane
Playing Slim Shady, Jay Z and Wayne

First semester heard GKMC
Didn't think I would ever be a MC
Most people back home would probly laugh
If they heard that I rap now, but half
The people I knew in high school
Will live in that town till they die, true
So when I get the mic no telling what I might do
I evolve, shock them all like a Raichu

Grew up on Pokémon and Obi-Wan
Shout out my brother he's the only one
Who knows how I've grown other than our parents
Don't tell him I said that, he'd just get embarrassed
We grew up in the heart of Eagleville
Our little house used to be a mill
Owner's, on our own we'd go down the hill
In the creek our feet would chill

Fast forward
Now I'm in the city, I got people fuckin with me
And I'm spittin lyrics quickly, feels like nobody can hit me
My ability is fifty times better than these shitty
Rappers, if they diss me, you can't trust that
Imma put them out of business like I'm Disney
I'm addicted like I'm Whitney I should cut back
High as Chitty Chitty on this pretty ditty
But I'm not interested in your pity nah f*ck that

It's nice sure, but honestly
It doesn't cure what haunts me
Geography becomes a prophecy
So as you follow me on my odyssey
Just remember, I grew up in the heart of Eagleville
Thought we were all treated equal till
I looked around and saw the evil that got people killed
Is still around in the next town over there we're needles filled

With heroin, it's harrowin, all the marrow, skin
Bones, blood, flesh, and sin we've been buryin
What the f*ck it mean to be American
The neighborhood kids were always mean to me
And I didn't understand they didn't mean to be
That I had so many things they were without
And now somehow I'm the one who got out?

F*ck it
Grew up in the heart of Eagleville
And across the ocean
My grandfather was overdosing on sleeping pills
And thank god he was woken
Don't tell him I said that
Just leave it unspoken
I don't want him knowin I'm just as broken
I'm having just as much trouble with copin
Last year almost killed me, but I keep on goin

Grew up in the heart of Eagleville
Watch all this paint cross my needle spill
Words saved me and gave me this lethal skill
Stay tuned cos the sequel will
Be like this only more, see what I got in store
Yeah I said it before, get the f*ck out my way
Here to stay till the day that my debt's gon be paid
Got too much to say, so just you wait
