Murk'em low key with a spare rhyme Old lines sh** I came up with in ‘09 No lyin'! Back in Suitland in the nineties In someone else's hood baggin rappers you'd find me Whippin' a** taking names ‘fore this rap sh** was cool I was either chasing dreams or chasing a** after school Ditched cla**, wings with Mambo Sauce during high times Cookin' beats in Ace old crib playing ‘95 Live from the home of Martin and Sugar Ray I'ma shine for every unknown that took a stray HOOK (...in Maryland) Don't get twisted, dog I still put the M between the DV (Made in Maryland) I'ma represent for yall Regardless where the path I'm on lead me (Made in Maryland) Pops was from Baltimore But his only son was born...
