Lyrics
I had to leave your ass today
We all act like it ain't hard
When you leave something you love,
It always seem to leave a scar.
I try to say I do it up
No matter what go down.
But now I give a fuck, cause
I do it for my hometown!
I know I look like I ain't missing you, ah, yeah
Like this shit ain't the thing, hmm
And now you're acting like I've been too cool, uh
So all I wanna say is:
Is for my hometown, for my hometown
Don't you know now, yeah?
Is... me, is going down
And no matter where I'm gonna be, you'll see
That I do it for my hometown!
This one is for retch blocks, saga city native
And the city they call T. bust three shots,
My rotten peeps from the jump seen a legend in the making
And the one sitting on my ghetto graduation
Put my city on my back like a knapsack
Ransack the industry fighting these critics just like a black mad truck
Every time I go in, I'm getting mad luck
I demand it, I ain't going, I like some sad trunk
I got these thugs I never fuck with catching asthma
Can't breathe, too many acolytes, baby, I can't leave
Why should I? Shit! Why would I?
I'm this youngies inspirations if I said goodbye
Who do they look up to?
They probably live my own life in...
Some of them already do
Thinking more grown now, even though I'm known now!
Everywhere I go, I hold it down for my own town!
I know I look like I ain't missing you, ah, yeah
Like this shit ain't the thing, hmm
And now you're acting like I've been too cool, uh
So all I wanna say is:
Is for my hometown, for my hometown
Don't you know now, yeah?
Is... me, is going down
And no matter where I'm gonna be, you'll see
That I do it for my hometown!
Yeah, we're trying to make these moves,
Sometimes we forget where we started at
History repeats itself, so I...
You was gonna do it from the moment that I thought of that
In my hometown, hometown where my momma at!
Shoutout go to D-Man, shoutout go to Killer Bee
In a room I doubt it, the first ones who believed in me!
Danger shut my first performance, burn the shit to DVD
I'm just the depiction of a puzzle where ain't to be
The best, the man, slow down!
But when I go back home to hometown, tell the bo to slow down!
I say, "why?"
Bitch, I've been fighting for these words to come through
Me and Busy having these flights, trying to represent you!
They say I changed and I'm growing, even made it!
Who watch me get my shine on, either that I'm faded,
Either that I'm jaded, I saw the price and I paid it
As soon this one this one go out to Vernon
Whether you love and you hate it
Gotta understand!
I know I look like I ain't missing you, ah, yeah
Like this shit ain't the thing, hmm
And now you're acting like I've been too cool, uh
So all I wanna say is:
Is for my hometown, for my hometown
Don't you know now, yeah?
Is... me, is going down
And no matter where I'm gonna be, you'll see
That I do it for my hometown!
See, I've been all around, up, up and down
But ain't no way we gonna feel like, hey
Well, I'm gonna touch down once I'm in town
That's the moment that I realize
It's all good, hey, I don't need no debts today!
No, cause I've been doing just fine
And I'm feeling like it's been a reason that I feel I have to say:
I know I look like I ain't missing you, ah, yeah
Like this shit ain't the thing, hmm
And now you're acting like I've been too cool, uh
So all I wanna say is:
Is for my hometown, for my hometown
Don't you know now, yeah?
Is... me, is going down
And no matter where I'm gonna be, you'll see
That I do it for my hometown!
