[Verse 1:] Originally I'm from Oak Town, born in the Bay And now my message I relay wit a dope sound But Carolina's my home, I swear I love it here I thank GOD for blessin me with another year In my past could've been considered an a**hole The younger me the human version of a tadpole In high school was in a rush to be the man That's why I carried round a brush, wish you could see the head Wavy before Max, could you picture that? Me my n***as like Dax, ain't a thicker pack Partied it up toasted to the better days I love the memories I wish that I could live em back I did a lot of sh** wrong but I learned from it The mentality of the Bern, I had to turn from it Now I record these thoughts tryna earn something I hope you learn something, I'm just tellin y'all [Bridge] Growing up we ain't have a car It's like going Bogey..we ain't have to par My momma always came through, we ain't have to starve It's a cold cold world but see she like a scarf I'm just telling yall my life, my life, my life, my life Now I'm living alright, alright, alright, alright Doing whatever I like, I like, I like, I like Just enjoying my life, my life, my life [Verse 2:] I started rhyming back in high school My senior year I was known as the high dude But I balled tho It's kinda crazy how I made it out through all four I remember when I was square like a Volvo We used to hit the chateau for a celebration I guess that was my plateau for my elevation That's where I first saw my dreams of pursuing this Somebody pinch me I can't believe I'm doing this This a long way from flowing in the lunch room It's my turn to eat I'm heading off to lunch soon I still drink the same brew, eat the same snacks I'm not Siamese but still the same cat I'm just being myself could never change that And with all I put in I want some change back They thought they had me skunked and then I came back And by me sayin that I'm just tellin y'all Repeat Bridge
