Local Legend

I had to get it out the mud
And now I'm riding through my old hood this is where I'm from
You know the city show me love
And I forever held you down whenever I ran it up
Remember we was running dumb
Boy if I call you brother I'ma love you like my blood
Had to get it out the mud yeah
Became a legend where I'm from yeah
Remember we was thirty deep cooling on pops porch
While my brother pushing keys like he was Scott Storch
Aye, balling was the dream but we was off court
And now I'm screaming R.I.P. I'm going hard for them
The city love me I'm a legend on my side of town
And where I'm from it wasn't much that we could smile 'bout
I was fighting depression the buzz started dying down
I promised my brother we gon' make it like we trying out
Finally finding out who real and who fake
Seen day ones turn Fed and start building a case
Put away the bottle on my momma I'ma deal with the pain
Thought if I got it, you got it, but now that feeling has changed
Crazy thinking 'bout the dirt that we did
I can't let you get near me won't let you hurt me again
Walking with God I got a purpose to live
Against the odds but I'm determined to win
I had to get it out the mud
And now I'm riding through my old hood this is where I'm from
You know the city show me love
And I forever held you down whenever I ran it up
Remember we was running dumb
Boy if I call you brother I'ma love you like my blood
Had to get it out the mud yeah
Became a legend where I'm from yeah
Face and Krispy like my brothers plus my daddy like they dad too
Go Buck we a family man we more than just a rap group
Get Money Boy only choice was to stack loot
And now I'm mourning with their portrait in my tattoos, yeah
If you ask me I'ma tell you I'm ok
But it hurts me that I'm lying to your face
And I been practicing I'm working everyday
I been learning how to smile through the pain
Just took my new homie on a trip down my old block
Pointed out my brothers crib because that was the dope spot
Had to get it how we live and I promise it won't stop
I'm forever going in I don't care if the doors locked
Welcome to the city that raised us
You couldn't make it pretty with make up
I did it independent I came up
And I'ma always give you the same love
I had to get it out the mud
And now I'm riding through my old hood this is where I'm from
You know the city show me love
And I forever held you down whenever I ran it up
Remember we was running dumb
Boy if I call you brother I'ma love you like my blood
Had to get it out the mud yeah
Became a legend where I'm from yeah
