Grew up in the heart of Eagleville Not far from the tracks I used to go down to them, watch while the smell of diesel filled The air as the trains went past I loved Thomas as a kid And now I'm in love with a Thomas, and shit Don't tell her I said that, she wouldn't care for the comparison And that's fair but it's Funny how life brings you round to the same places you started in You think you've departed But soon as I started to write these bars in my apartment I remember, grew up in the heart of Eagleville Right side of the tracks And for every order that's forcing me forward There's something that's bringing me back Uh When the drums hit, you know I love that shit Grew up on Lucy and Kasey and Chris Who is this kid? Margaret and Chris's They gave me kisses, tried to grant my wishes Did their best for me, so it's hard To admit it gets to me when I show Dad rap And he says to me it needs more guitar Don't tell him I said that, he doesn't like to be mentioned God knows where I got my need for attention F*ck it I don't want it to seem like there's tension I just mean I'm not the convention Went from Blue's Clues to U2 To watching Watsky on YouTube To walking down Shady Lane Playing Slim Shady, Jay Z and Wayne First semester heard GKMC Didn't think I would ever be a MC Most people back home would probly laugh If they heard that I rap now, but half The people I knew in high school Will live in that town till they die, true So when I get the mic no telling what I might do I evolve, shock them all like a Raichu Grew up on Pokémon and Obi-Wan Shout out my brother he's the only one Who knows how I've grown other than our parents Don't tell him I said that, he'd just get embarrassed We grew up in the heart of Eagleville Our little house used to be a mill Owner's, on our own we'd go down the hill In the creek our feet would chill Fast forward Now I'm in the city, I got people fuckin with me And I'm spittin lyrics quickly, feels like nobody can hit me My ability is fifty times better than these shitty Rappers, if they diss me, you can't trust that Imma put them out of business like I'm Disney I'm addicted like I'm Whitney I should cut back High as Chitty Chitty on this pretty ditty But I'm not interested in your pity nah f*ck that It's nice sure, but honestly It doesn't cure what haunts me Geography becomes a prophecy So as you follow me on my odyssey Just remember, I grew up in the heart of Eagleville Thought we were all treated equal till I looked around and saw the evil that got people killed Is still around in the next town over there we're needles filled With heroin, it's harrowin, all the marrow, skin Bones, blood, flesh, and sin we've been buryin What the f*ck it mean to be American The neighborhood kids were always mean to me And I didn't understand they didn't mean to be That I had so many things they were without And now somehow I'm the one who got out? F*ck it Grew up in the heart of Eagleville And across the ocean My grandfather was overdosing on sleeping pills And thank god he was woken Don't tell him I said that Just leave it unspoken I don't want him knowin I'm just as broken I'm having just as much trouble with copin Last year almost killed me, but I keep on goin Grew up in the heart of Eagleville Watch all this paint cross my needle spill Words saved me and gave me this lethal skill Stay tuned cos the sequel will Be like this only more, see what I got in store Yeah I said it before, get the f*ck out my way Here to stay till the day that my debt's gon be paid Got too much to say, so just you wait
