Like, damn I been here for so long How can this be? If I gotta go I'm gon' go, I ain't gon' kick or scream Just promise one thing Don't let them forget about me Because this place is all I've known And I ain't ready to let this go, no I ain't goin' nowhere I'ma be here forever When it all fall apart I pull it back together Went and followed my heart But they couldn't measure So, if this all I ever knew, I could never let up Off the madness and booty's bouncin' at popular functions OG's posted at the liquor store Complainin' we hustlin' Claimin' that we been sufferin' From the dreams they were sold Still reflectin' on the glory through all the stories they told Of the early days When it was dreamer's tryna be kings Trapped inside the same predicament That haunts the scene Of a black man who mind Too confined to shine He too blind to find He too broke to dine Who would I be if I was to leave 'em while they were starvin'? With nothin' in return like an injured Percy Harvin He too hurt to go He too strong to show Could've ran a 4 But wasn't goin' pro 'Cause my Mama wasn't havin' that She'll probably have a heart attack if she knew I rapped I let Jehovah be my witness While I speak the facts And make a promise to my city while it's on my back, that I'ma never leave Never believed in better days from relocation I'll rather think ahead inside the hood Than be complacent Rather fall on the side of good But the city dangerous I'll let fate decide what's best for me But still I'll never leave Like, damn I been here for so long How can this be? If I gotta go I'm gon' go, I ain't gon' kick or scream Just promise one thing Don't let them forget about me Because this place is all I've known And I ain't ready to let this go, no Sometimes we gotta make decisions with no conversation Mama had the sit and listen like a congregation Am I trippin' though? She said we gotta get to packin' I heard her speakin' But my mind just went and switched dimensions I started thinkin' 'bout the homies in high school What's poppin'? And all the weekends we would wake up early Just for shoppin', for all the Late night flexin', night club hoppin' Started feelin' like this was better, don't let me miss it Asking God, "Am I the only one in this position?" Gotta leave the only home I've known since 7-years-old Reminiscin' 'bout the motherland That never gets old I let fate decide what's meant for me But still I had to leave Leave me in the motherland Covered up the roots with the soil that was implanted Before we landed by bloody hands Bloody water Avoidin' conquer, the trauma That follow me to this day 'Cause they took me away from mama, hope she Don't start to treat me different (Nah bro, we all the same) Village mentality, traveled with me along the waves Porch conversations Early mornin' sipper Started feelin' this can't be better, I know you miss her Takin' risks that I would used to take a whip for Mama hands grippin' on my wrist To make me sit more Could that be the reason why we too afraid of leavin'? They took us out that village Givin' nothin' to believe in Like, damn I been here for so long How can this be? If I gotta go I'm gon' go, I ain't gon' kick or scream Just promise one thing Don't let them forget about me Because this place is all I've known And I ain't ready to let this go, no I look myself into the eyes and I question if this is me? If I blame it on my surroundin's Then would somebody agree? Would they give me a pass? Or would they pass up on me? If my past determines my future Then hopefully, they can see The common route was nowhere near commonwealth It was more of that common trap Where the conscious don't seem to sell, you know me well We need mo' inside this town that we facin' We all Dennis Edwards Tryna fight the temptation
