Okay
I grew up in New York (where)
Southside Jamaica Queens (Southside)
I made it out the hood (the hood)
But life ain't what it seems (it seems)
I still got rent to pay (damn)
Not tryna sell my dreams (no dreams)
My story kinda crazy (that's crazy)
Sound like it's make believe (yeah)
I couldnt make this up (mmm)
This shit it really happened (no cap)
I started off a joker (ha)
I was always slackin (no slack)
Parents told me Travis (yeah)
Son, you gotta focus (focus)
Got my act together
But my heart was broken (why)
I did too well in school (damn)
They put in for my transfer (damn)
The teacher asked a question
I always had an answer (nerd shit)
New school in Richmond hill (rich)
Two buses every day (metro)
I learned the quickest routes
But fuck the MTA (fuck em)
They kept on raising prices (fuck em)
Mom was raising children (yeah)
The govy raising taxes (fuck em)
As if we made a killing
The food stamps did some wonders
Extra bacon too (I eat it)
EBT
Bought ingredients for Jamaican food (I need it)

Yeah
I used to eat a lot
Last plate, they fighting me (fighting me)
Appetite done changed (yeah)
Because of my anxiety (damn)
Tried to get to college (mhm)
Straight off of scholarships
Wrote eight essays
For a quarter million dollars bitch (okay)
I left my city life (yeah)
Tryna get degree (two)
When I went to class (yeah)
Nobody looked like me (mhm)
The pace was very fast (it's fast)
I used to love the math (the math)
Until I took it there (yeah)
I started missing class (mmm)
People called me smart
I rarely got an A (A)
But I hustled hard
I had to make a way (a way)
Create a different path (path)
Open up some doors (yeah)
Close off some friends (damn)
Who am I living for (Hmm)
That was my revelation
I couldn't lose myself (yeah)
I could make a change
But couldn't be nobody else (else)
Here I am today
I think I made a name
And attached to it
Is the place I came (yup)
