Lyrics
Intro
(Yeah, uh, yeah)
Brown bag lunch, kick it curbside with the squad
Casio bump, static hiss, noddin' hard on the block
Mama yellin' out the window, all she get is a shrug
Sour apple Now and Laters stuffed in my mug
Summertime stuck, sweat stains on my collar
Old heads posted up, bettin' loose change, squalor
West coast sun, east coast heat, both squalid
Snapbacks flipped, middle fingers gettin' wilder
Chant: Backing Vocals
(Ayy, ayy, we was out, we was out)
(Never home, never home, we was gone for the count)
(Strings cry, strings cry, hear that sound)
Life movin' rugged, no slowin' down
Verse 1
Kickin' up dust, park bench with the crew
Double Dutch ropes and a pack of Big Red too
Graffiti shoes, torn jeans, yeah we ran the avenue
Spin a tall tale, fade cuts at the barbershop, true
Hand-me-down jackets, my first pair of Nike
The day I got roasted by Stacy and Mikey
Breaks in the basement, loopin' Jazz like it's likely
Dreamin' coast to coast, that mic always beside me
Talk back to teachers, never cared for a grade
Stackin' up stories, every L got me paid
Now my friends out in Cali and the others on the blade
String swell in my ear, still remember those days
Chorus
Back in the day it was set, corner payphone collect
Memories stick in my head, but the future's a bet
Talkin' loud in the Benz, West to East just connect
Sample swing and the break, got no room for regret
Post-Chorus
Oh, it's real, it's real
Kick back, bounce, just how I feel
Verse 2
Used to bag up in the basement, now it's Gucci on pavement
Homies in fights over tiny-ass payments
Sample flip, string hit, dirty kicks on the pavement
DMV stank, east coast ain't adjacent
Drip on the dash, see 'em watching with suspicion
Breakbeat jumpin', I'm cookin' in the kitchen
Bitch, I’m legendary, my story ain't fiction
Never needed luck, just hustle and ambition
Pre-Chorus
String lines sweeping, the block keep breathing
Old heads teaching what the new kids leaving
Hate don’t faze me, my path ain't deceiving
West wind blow, I’m believing
Chorus
Back in the day it was set, corner payphone collect
Memories stick in my head, but the future's a bet
Talkin' loud in the Benz, West to East just connect
Sample swing and the break, got no room for regret
Post-Chorus
Oh, it's real, it's real
Kick back, bounce, just how I feel
