Keswick

That's to record
That one's to record
See that one is, when you push that one it records

That's what? For your voice
For your voice? Yes
Oh! Okay well go ahead and talk on it
You say it
What are you saying?
Push it!
Yeah, okay On the radio!
Damon's on the radio!

I was seeded on Keswick sprouted on South Boulevard
Then I fully bloomed, Ledge Road Macedonia
Homie I, grew up on bread and Beefaroni
Eating metamucil cookies, ain't shit you could've told me
In the kindergarten, told me man you gonna cure cancer
Now-a-days I'm struggling still trying to find the answer and
Life ain't what it seems when we were kids thought it was simple
But I haven't been naive since my face was just a pimple
I would ride the bus and when I looked outside the window
Saw the world pass me by like a Pharcyde sample
Had the prize upon the mantle, couldn't satiate the hunger
I had to find another way to keep from going under
Never blunder, but I slipped tripped and stumbled
The first time I was bullied was the day that I was humbled
Sitting on the school bus and he hit me in the jaw
I was frozen in my seat and man I could not move at all
I don't think I even cried I was just in so much shock see
Never told my parents I just sucked it up and walked
About a couple miles to and from most every day
Because I didn't want to run the risk of fucking up my face
I wasn't cool by any stretch of any mind see, 90s
No one really checking how was I
Couldn't see it then, but bet your ass I see it currently
I'm better for it and I wish I never let it worry me
Carried it so long like a black Atlas
Back in high school I used to piss all on my mattress
Fact is, I used to hang with cousins and my auntie
Playing Donkey Kong and tuning in listening to Odyssey (Bjorn Free!)
Hard to see it now but I am just the fucking same
Had to get myself used to playing the other's games
Now I pimp the system feeling unashamed
But I feel a sense of pride because I use my brother's name
(What up Prov!)
Never got not having a pot to piss in
Til this year I can't even afford to pay attention
Rent's due and my pay checks missing
But I'm too proud to ask folks to pitch in
Listen, didn't think that this is where I'd be
Don't know who I am but I could probably use some therapy
Thinking carefully, am I oversharing?
Need to analyze my life and find that it ain't really scary
Very anxious and I'm feeling like I'm breathing in asbestos
This whole entire world is so young and it's restless
Been doing what I love since the age of five
Now reality is showing me the days of our lives
It's like I'm watching as the world turns slowly
I got one life to live and I'll make sure the world knows me
Even if I have to go crazy as Mrs. Nesbitt
Remember that it started on a road called Keswick
(Keswick, Keswick, Keswick, Keswick)
