Man they don't know who I am sometimes
They don't even know where I'm from sometimes
So I gotta let em know on this one
Just where I come from
C T two oh three where I'm from babe
Yea it's pretty but it's gritty here in most ways
Think it's sweet then you leave with a bitter taste
If you don't know a brother get up out his face
Cause the wrong stare can land you in a craft bed
With the wires in your arm and you half dead
It's been said that the state is a lost spot
But I'm bout to get it found cause the sound's hot
They don't know about the port down in norwalk
Stamford where the cops and the dogs bark
In my life yea this is where it all starts
In a place overlooked I'm on my mark
Tri state but the triangle isn't closed
New york new jerz can we get a road
In a land of the yankees and met fans
Upstate cheer for bostan
New england yea like a patriot
C T is beautiful but the law sucks
Church right in the corner near the hot spot
Somebody gotta pray that the war stops
Ain't never gonna happen in the L C
Lock City where they bust guns and move keys
Smoke trees drink a 40 ounce of O E
Everyday like the lord pressin repeat
Kids on the block growing up in dog years
Seven for every one cause of life here
No fears ain't enough time to be scared
Gotta get what you can and get outta here
Land of the go gettas and underdogs
Where you scared to see a shadow like a groundhog
This is my city my state ya'll
We ain't asking for your love just respect yall
They don't know who I ammmmmmmm
And they don't know where I'm frommmmmmm
I'm gonna make sure they knooooow oooo ooo oooo o
They gon know where I'm frommmmmm
They gon know who I ammmmmmmm
Cause I'm gon make sure they knoooooowwwww ooooooo
I'm getting what I came for
If you never heard of me you must not know
That the homie trust his dogs over gatos
In the city there's no pity for a weak soul
See the cross that I bare yea for my folks
Put the state on my back walking up hill
You on broke back mountain like jake jill
I'ma still do it like me cause I will
Build a will strong enough like ali films
Two oh three yea I owe the swag to the state
Recognize my kin folk everywhere I skate
We unique as it get cause the pain is real
But we deal with it cold yea we stay on chill
Grab the steal for a reason it's not beef
Around here man you are homie what you eat
Tough as nails you can tell when you hear the beat
And the speech on the track makes it all complete
I'ma seek for the props that we never got
Either cause they never looked or they scared we hot
Either cause they jealous of us or cause they not
Because we see differently they don't see
Love for they state blind to the truth we
See clear with no fear of a loss or fee
They told me yea the best things in life are free
But I'm bout to pay my dues here in triple A
To get the triple A credit and splurge away
How could they blame you when life's how it is today
Nay say and I'll be on my grind time
Superstar right now in my own mind
Mute ya'll like the box you should hear mine
This is my city my state yall
We ain't asking for you love just respect yall
They don't know who I ammmmmmmm
And they don't know where I'm frommmmmmm
I'm gonna make sure they knooooow oooo ooo oooo o
They gon know where I'm frommmmmm
They gon know who I ammmmmmmm
Cause I'm gon make sure they knoooooowwwww ooooooo
I'm getting what I came for
