Uh
Whoever thought Cam would grow to gross in the millions?
101 West, you shoulda seen my building
139 Park, started off as children
Grew up with Big L and the dude supposedly killed him
A week before that, though, Big L had tried to kill him
This what I heard, please don't get in your feelings
When the time's right, I will tell you about these villains
And everybody dead, so it ain't about squealin'
Weapons, we conceal 'em, need be, reveal 'em
Fly? Nah, flytraps was hangin' from the ceiling
Milk and Giz was chillin', me and Biz was illin'
Love my hood, but to make it out? Woo, what a feeling
I couldn't sleep at night, in my bed, I would keep a knife
Until I got a Glock, where I'm from, they ain't believe in life
Cops come reading rights, but we ain't the reading type
You don't need Adidas or a zebra, see my stripes?
Then you got to feel me, brother
Where I'm from, best friends, they kill each other
No slouch, a homicide's the voucher
How I was raised, think I give a fuck about ya?
Reggie White took me on my first stick-up
Fifteen years old, can't front, I caught the hiccups
Told me calm down, then proceeded to click up
Thought that car was a shirt the way we left that shit ripped up
8Th Ave, dipped up, in my waist, the grip tucked
Told me keep my lips shut, I ever get picked up
Before that, man, you'll find me with my wrist cut
Just wanted to chill, now in this shit, I'm mixed up
You know Max B? I call him Charlie Rambo
We lived in the same building you would call a bando
Outside, more gunshots than Commando
That's why I had to treat myself to Porsches and Lambos
Pardon, I get emotional
It's all real, none of it is promotional
Just want to play basketball and have an ocean view
But when you live where I live, what the fuck you supposed to do?
Fast forward, Fort Lee, New Jersey, my triplex
Son just born, formula by the Pyrex
Liquidated money and gats from them big checks
Been solidified way before Dipset
No disrespect to the brotherhood
Them my brothers, but brother, I'm from another hood
Where it ain't fair like Blair, they'll leave you underwood
Old money go missin', that's where your mother stood
Let's get that understood
I ain't gotta talk no more, man, just listen
Let's get that understood
That's where your mother stood
Just listen
That's where your mother stood
That's where your mother stood
That's where your mother stood
That's where your mother stood
