Listen, alive and still kickin *****
I survived the ville
But a lot will not, so they wield Glocks and Bonnevilles
****** lying, still get high, they ride and kill
Money hungry, tryna find a meal
Can't stay inside and chill
Little ****** thinking: '**** school, I'm finna sign a deal!'
Hunting hoes, trapping ******
Lying like they on the pill
Preachers say we blessed
But all we feel is stressed, tryna deal
If this liquor don't help, *****, this m*******a will
Roll up, I take a shot for them ****** behind the steel gates
My mind is still- racing, I'm tryna kill- snakes
Cause ****** is fake, but wait, time reveals so
Nevermind, that real s**t is what I am tryna build
It's kinda I'll how I'm giving y'all that Carolina feel
A ***** so deep, you tryna find me dog, you gotta drill
It's kinda I'll how I'm giving y'all that Carolina feel
A ***** so deep, you tryna find me dog, you gotta drill
Yeah
Yo, Coming home, y'all
At any given time, got the city on my mind
The city on my mind
The city on my mind
I'm riding round feeling like the city, it is mine
The city, it is mine
The city, it is mine
At any given time, Carolina on my mind
Carolina on my mind
Carolina on my mind
Said "I feel ya pain *****, but I'm tryna go for mine,"
I'm tryna go for mine
I'm tryna go for mine
Hey, **** them hoes, let them bunnies be
Perfect vision I'm 20/20 for this money, G
See it's funny, you get that paper, then them honeys show
Cause they know we finna blow, like a runny nose
Money goes, the money come
Barely twenty-one, I'm thinking big things
Momma in the mansion with the fish tanks
The Carolina way
If you in college then you know the crime won't pay
Lest you find a way, **** what them ****** is tryna say
Cause in Carolina- we thorough
My ****** hold it down all the way from Fayettenam to the G-boro
And up in Winston, and Raleigh, did I mention?
The Bull City got them ol' fake ****** flinchin'
Tar heels state, either you shooting or you hoopin' yo
****** can't wait for them Panthers to win the Superbowl
So shout out to them super cold ****** up in Ch****tte
No matter the city, man, Carolina shine, regardless!
Yea, yo, coming home *****!
Riding big in an ol' school Chevy
With the windows down when I'm rolling through my city, like Ooh
On my way to meet up with a freak and my ***** drunk beating
She can hear me down the street, she like 'oh!'
Blew game and I do my thing
Ain't tryna settle down, I ain't shopping for no ring
Oh no!
Riding with my ****** for the weekend
Carolina sounds pumping out the speakers, like oh!
We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true?
We're just good for nothing, they all figure
A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where it's at?
We people who are darker than blue
This ain't no time for segregatin'
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow, too
High yellow gal, can't you tell
You're just the surface of our dark, deep well?
If your mind could really see
You'd know your color the same as me
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
