[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 asshole
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 niggas 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 shit 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
