925
I can't forget the first time breaking 580
The view of the valley man that stilla fade me
Unforgettable sight see it on the daily
Can't believe it's where I live man that shit is crazy
Did I grow up with too much I don't know maybe
Yeh whatever homie I been thinking blessings lately
I'm from the 925 it's my town baby
I rep the 925 it's my town baby, look
The memories don't die it's been a whole decade
Seen my house since the ground every single brick laid
You would think my city boring every kid would portray
Compared to living somewhere else it's a whole upgrade
But I'm tryna be a champion without delay
Making sacrifice and take the jump so I can say
Throw away my silver spoon and I'm not afraid
The risk of being a rapper but I'm not afraid
Now I think back back to a younger me
We was chillin out at Safeway so heavenly
Way back to high school do you remember me
Yeah, Ramona Valley View we wanna never leave
High school Stoneridge every December evening
Practice on Bollinger to pass the DMV
Now everytime that I'm on the road I cannot believe
These are the streets that made me to a bigger m
Take a look around you, man this is your home
Every person in the city when they are your own
They say all paths lead straight to Rome
But this is where I roam, yeah this is where I roam
They say once you leave it ain't no coming back
You know, once you jump it ain't no turning back
But that's the same reason that's got me going back
I got my city on my back that's just where I'm at
Pizza at Ascona's was a tradition tho
On those short school days man I miss em tho
Hiking and biking through the rolling hills we passed time
And summer seventeen we knew it'd be the last time
We all got together damn the whole squad lit
Rolling 10 deep man nobody could stop it
Even the bad times I got jumped at Mosaic Park
Don't interrupt me homie I'm just speaking my part
Good times childish ways man how could I not
Basketball everyday like we owned the block
We put a flag in the ground like we owned the spot
I'm in a smaller place now but with a bigger plot
Million dollar house to mask the insecurity
Realest kid in my neighborhood I'm sure it's me
Now I'm in low income housing irony
But either way no matter where I live I am me
I never took it for granted look just like this
Here's why my city got everything the nicest
No poverty restrictions or pill bottle addictions
Just newest car editions, an inflated depiction
No limit spending permission, privilege over ambition, another house the acquisition
Sunrise from the Monarch benches, summertime is a tradition, this is my town's definition
Take a look around you, man this is your home
Every person in the city when they are your own
They say all paths lead straight to Rome
But this is where I roam, yeah this is where I roam
They say once you leave it ain't no coming back
You know, once you jump it ain't no turning back
But that's the same reason that's got me going back
I got my city on my back that's just where I'm at
