Hometown


Yeah I been a problem

Inhaling all these monsters

I came in on a tonka

Took over the roster 

I was told to check in 

Getting engaged to my best friend

They say I was left out

I’m wondering why the rest out 

That one shot

It’ll take the rest out

Representing my hometown

Told them I’ll be the best out

I ain’t playing 

Let’s say it’s a celebration 

Came out to rearrange it

They don’t understand what I’m saying

I read the script

Threw it in the fire 

I saw them play

Thinking they higher 

I need an estate 

I’m on fire 

My girl is the support

You see me the provider

There is no time for the games

People chanting the name

Had our picture in the frame

Was motioned to another lane

Had to stay the same 

Living through the game

 

You don’t know what i been through

Each day 

Adds up to the menu

They know I don’t play fool

I’m not the one to school

Didn’t have time to waste 

My life is on the race 

Representing Tay K

That Ferrari creating space

What more could I learn from you

I Tina turner groups

Leave niggas vertical 

I never heard of you

Born in the jungle 

I knew I wouldn’t fumble 

Remember the ones that love you

And forget the ones that judge you 

I put my all in this

Threw a penny

To make a wish

Foot on the stage

Need to get paid for this

Each line will make me rich 

Outro

They say the selfish

Don’t last long

They say the poor

Had a bad hand y’all

Each mirror tells me

I’m the man dog

Wash my face 

What did I stand for......
