[Verse 1: Carter Ace]
Back to the place that I was born
Crenshaw, Baldwin Hills, the thrills
Of never knowing if you're gonna live or die
So all you really wanna do is live to k**
You make a mixtape with six tracks and all you wanna do is sell tracks without a record deal
Taking all the money and making it rain, going insane
Yet you can't pay no bills
I woke up one morning, my backyard on fire and my windows broken
With "Carter Ace" spray painted on the wall
I was all alone, didn't know who to call
9-1-1, I need help at 17912 Parthenia Street
I'm six years old living in a itty bitty home and I still dont know where my momma be
I'm upstairs in my bedroom, watching cartoons
All I hear is (ambulence sound)
Thirty thousand in damages, but the government ain't payin' s***
Back to the place that I was born
Crenshaw, Baldwin Hills, the thrills
Of never knowing if you're gonna live or die
So all you really wanna do is live to k**
[Hook: DVO]

Breakin milestones shaking these layers
