Dumbfoundead - Town lyrics

[Verse 1:] You know the usual girl, I'll take it on the rocks You can catch me here every night like I'm on the clock I know this neighborhood and all the local mom and pops We own these blocks like prisoners that were on the rock But this ain't Alcatraz, this is an alkie trap Bar hoppers and big talkers and starting tabs Hand shakes with fake smiles and shark attacks Networking and head jerk gettin lots of crap Huh, some of these cats I went to school with 'em Run into 'em they be telling me that I'm doing it They give me props, but it's hard to find the truth in it Green bottles in hand with devils juice in 'em Sixth street down six feet we digging deep Like we own the place, know my face, get in free The wasted minutes of our lives is the hidden fee But who am I to preach [Hook] Yeah they know me around here Call me the hometown hero Holla when I roll down Pico Let's get another round here Homie drinks on me Because you know I get them drinks for free Girl you ain't from around here And that's probably a good thing Because I ain't trying to mess up a good thing This is my town here As much as I love it I wanna leave But this town won't set me free [Verse 2:] I seen them younguns they tatted with town pride With not the slightest clue what's happening outside Saying that they run sh**, fighting about dumb sh** When they not one fifth of the man, ain't that some sh** We live our lives on the fly, we just roll the dice With no idea you're a grain in the bowl of rice The OGs told me nothing no advice My closest friends left me hanging on the coldest nights Where the women and pretty linen are overpriced Gold diggers, their goal's becoming trophy wives Tell me how that easy money make you feel girl It's gon' be painful when you come into the real world I ain't lying you a dime though But you're drinking yourself down to a five though Going out every night, you a wine-o The same faces all the places that I go [Hook] [Verse 3:] I took a break then came back, ain't nothing changed The same cats from way back, oh what's his name? Big homie in his late 20s clutching canes Old girl, who been known to do them s*utty things I seen the parts of the world that some would never reach This town will anchor you down, and never set you free They said a local legend is the most I'll ever be Until I put my town on the map, for everyone to see Here I am y'all, I got a lot to share I ain't telling made up stories on my rocking chair I see you there trying so hard not to care You saying that you wanna go far, but you're scared Nah brotha, it don't work like that You took a step out and took the first flight back I guess some of us are just cursed like that But I wasn't birthed like that [Hook]
