The Port (Intro)

[Intro]
You think you know me well
Don’t you?
Not really at all, though

[Verse 1]
Where I’m from it ain’t the toughest city
But people never make it out
Everybody attitude’s shitty
Faces showing vacant smiles
Some choose to poke they vein to cure the misery
Whatever it is, they can’t deal with it mentally
And now it feels like a dark place that’s full of pain and anguish
When the reaper comes to collect, you gotta make that payment
Could’ve funded college with small fortunes we paid on cases
Now life is similar to trading places
We all trying to unplug, just escape the matrix
At the least you smoke a little bud, or you take a sip
The town seethes of jealousy, there’s no love for those who make it
Had to leave, I couldn’t make it here
Ayo, let’s make it clear
Where I grew up, there’s still a love and hate
Nothing’s changed since a youth, I always knew it was this way
So I just follow suit
And as I come of age, just giving y’all the truth
Cuz I know you want the pain

[Bridge]
It’s the Port (Umbrella)
Yeah, it’s the Port

[Verse 2]
Yo
The place where everything comes in
But ain’t nobody leaving though
This small will turn you to a man, and then it keeps your soul
Limited options trying to keep control
The reaper’s close
Keep ‘em all on a need to know…basis
The hand shakes don’t match the faces
Everybody’s complacent until I make a shift
I thought you’d be inspired
Y’all don’t see me grinding?
I guess you can’t believe I keep defying, peep the science
While the small hyenas feed from lions
I pick these lines like hot peppers, I’m Peter piping, huh
I’d like to thank the OG’s cuz I just needed guidance
They led me to the bag, yo I just got deep inside it
Misery breeding violence
I’m drinking poison, got to clean my pallet
Vision’s clouded, cuz all I see is malice
Just think about it, I’m a product of my environment
It’s got me puzzled, but I’m trying to fit

[Outro]
In the Port
Yeah, in the Port
