And so you say that you know
Just where I'm from
And then you run far far away
Are you afraid
Grew up on the westside
Sunshine was my ride or die
When I left I knew I would cry
Left my soul on the greener side
As the years start to grow
Rain will come if you pray so just pray
Lost myself in these golden days
Where does reality end and dreams begin
Where do dreams begin
Where do dreams begin
Growing up the east coast way
Eating candy, quarter waters and the frito-lays
A cheap 'scape for a small getaway
Nobody told me I had to grind to get my cake up
Ya selling fantasies, I picture paper
Fuck the fake love that's like a hiccup
You fake throw up
All these hand signs like you know the Language
Well over here we come in many ranges
We don't like the danger
I'm feeling hurt so oppressed
Only I can manage anger
Move in silence like I'm Pootie Tang but
I'm more disappointed if you may say
In the fact that we not jointed everyday
I'm just tryna get to neutral
Vibing like I'm luther
Yo kiddo pick your boots up
You don't wanna be a drag
Slugging like a heavy bag
Through the slums with these dirty rags
I can't to it so I take a tab
I can't shake it or let it pass like the time does
So how I'd make it last
Take flight to the west coast so I could see the past
Still in the past
Days turn to memories so fast
Grew up on the darker side
Look away as I cry
