Mr. Throwed On The Track - Hometown Prophet lyrics

[Verse 1: Mega Ran] Ben Franklin said absence sharpens love Must of been my town that cat was talkin' of I used to tell my girl she was too far to visit She said if you wanted to do it, you would of did it And she was brilliant, that there sealed it Problem was she too much to deal wit The only place I see you is my dreams So when they sleep on me I know just what it means This is a sad overview How a dude tour the world and come back as a local dude Hard to be humble and take the scraps they throw to you That's why I don't speak up unless I'm spoken to Put the work in first and pray they notice you Save your breath for the takes in the vocal booth They might not call Ran the coldest dude But after I hit the stage they all, know the truth [Hook: Mega Ran] Man you know I love my town So it k**s me when I'm not around But I got to keep movin' Cause my goal is improving [Verse 2: Alfred Banks] To be in this rap game, lyrics was chosen Doing the damn thing, I swear I'm focused I'm from New Orleans, my people I hope they all know it But now I gotta see the world like the Atlantic Ocean Or the Pacific both coasts I gotta visit I live my city no doubt, but dog I'm on a mission Gotta vision of being the hottest rapper out Nothing but quotables coming outta' this rappers mouth Packed crowds every town every venue For everyone to know my name no matter what you into To do that, I gotta dip like queso But no matter the place on the map I may go I hold my city down, I'll make my city proud Got 'em on my back, make 'em smile, never frown With all respect new [Hook: Mega Ran] Man you know I love my town So it k**s me when I'm not around But I got to keep movin' Cause my goal is improving [Verse 3: Mega Ran] Rep my town though I'm hardly home Tryna run my city like I'm Smarty Jones And I play my part, display my art Wayne and Garth, we gone party on My short term goal, tear it up Be a local legend, don't care enough And my long term goal looks hopeless, when I approach it, I just move the carrot up Faced with the task of holding down two cities So different neither one knows what to do wit' me So I'm just in the wind like the sheet of paper In American Beauty, until I meet my maker I'm Kevin spacey, flirting wit a younger chick Who don't know my government I'm gluttonous for punishment She put a price on my head I told em' double it Been through it all in my city I'm Still I'm love wit it [Hook: Mega Ran] Man you know I love my town So it k**s me when I'm not around But I got to keep movin' Cause my goal is improving
