[Verse]

I'm from a small town (Ayy)

Blocks they wouldn't walk down (Naw)

No drive-bys, we doin' walk-downs (Bow, bow)

All them back in the days

Homies,^✦ I keep them all 'round (Facts)

All them basketball tournaments

Shout out to Dope-Pound (Facts)

2Pac told us to never^✦ give up

Where I'm from, be ready^✦ to shoot or be ready^✦ to duck

This shit tough, you ain't ready^✦ enough^✦ (Yeah, you ain't ready^✦ enough)^✦

And if them homies^✦ on the phone, you better^✦ hurry^✦ them up (Better^✦ hurry^✦ them up)

I know quiet speaking niggas^✦ that be chillin' in the cut (Yeah)

Everybody^✦ think he a joke, but he be serious as fuck (Yeah)

Go 'head, go get silly^✦ if you want (Yeah)

He a put your shit it the air like he willin'^✦ here for fun (Yeah)

Somebody^✦ better^✦ hold me back (Hold me back)

I was dead broke

Writin'^✦ rhymes^✦ where the roaches at (Ah)

Mama^✦ Lottie knew I was a star before^✦ I wrote a rap (Yeah)

'Cause I was always^✦ the one gettin'^✦ noticed, but they didn't notice^✦ that (Yeah)

And the slide is electric

[Pre-Chorus]
