You think you know me well, don't you?
Not really at all, though
Where I'm from, it ain't the toughest city
But people never make it out
Everybody attitude shitty, faces showing vacant smiles
Some choose to poke their 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 least you smoke a little bud or you take a sip
The town seethes with 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 'cause I know you want the pain
It's the port
Yeah, it's the port
Yo, the place where everything comes
In, but ain't nobody leaving, though
This small town 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 handshakes 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 OGs 'cause I just needed guidance
They led me to the bag, yo, I just got deep inside it
Misery breeding violence, I'm drinking poison, gotta clean my palate
Visions clouded 'cause 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
In the port
Yeah, in the port
