[Verse 1: James Gardin]
It's funny how it don't calm down
When you in a small town
No matter how much they fall down they claim they all crowned
So while they all claim king
They ignore the bad taste that they shame bring
While they poison a strained scene
Sickening the city they just want to gang green
While I'm doing my thing
See around here your peers never giving you cheers
Even though every bodies known your name for some years
And homey
That's a sad thing
When you stuck with these crabs in the bucket
And they all want the same thing
And it's sad I was stuck in a mindset
That wouldn't let me leave the city limits line's yet
Like do you P quit aiming to be the next him
Haters love to throw salt in your direction
But you'll never see me beefing with these silly kids
Cause I'm on the road to being bigger than my city is
[Hook: L05]
Oh you gotta get past ( oh you gotta get past
Don't stay in your (Don't stay in your )
Don't be a slave to your (Don't Slave to City Limits )
[Verse 2: James Gardin]
Man I'm loving these out of town shows
Sharing with strangers what's pouring out of my soul
And the last set we was clowning I know
But I swear I'm so Mother Loving proud of my growth
Crossing these state lines
Taking my shape mind
To a new form
Man I'm breaking out of my mold
Seeing a new city
Start to go and change a brothers mindset
Like has my opportunity pa**ed me
Or maybe it's not my time yet
And I'm just tryna get my spot in the line set
And have a safe landing after I jet
This got reminiscing bout the time that I went
To the mother land
And that change my whole world
And hopefully soon you all will understand
Why I'm more focused
And won't let nothing detour me
Since I recognize life as a journey
[Hook: L05]
Oh you gotta get past ( oh you gotta get past
Don't stay in your (Don't stay in your )
Don't be a slave to your (Don't Slave to City Limits )
[Verse 3: James Gardin]
And before we bid this city goodbye
Respect the fact that the kid didn't deny
We were all born a life that was fit for the sky
So don't miss your chance you were giving to fly
So spread those wings
Take a stroll on them dark clouds
Don't silent your dreams
Go and sing your heart out
Cause are number one goal
Is just to make sure we don't' end up the way we start out
And I promise you momma I'm gonna make you proud
Even though it looks like your sons standing on shaky ground
And I know that your worried
I'll be broke when you buried
But best believe
Your boy's gonna make you proud
And them nights we couldn't eat
It was worth it
Involuntary fast got us closer to are purpose
We made gems out of those stones we had to work with
We all hear that voice
I just listened when I heard it
[Hook: L05]
Oh you gotta get past ( oh you gotta get past
Don't stay in your (Don't stay in your )
Don't be a slave to your (Don't Slave to City Limits )
