lyrics

Hook:
I was raised in BK, but I was born in VA
Sent the same amount of time in each place, so I guess it’s only right that I rep each state (2x)

Verse 1:
Southside of da rich bitch is where it all started, Ingram Ave, then we moved to Ruffin Rd Apartments / then i moved to Bellemeade, all by age 3, then it was off to NYC / Far Rockaway, Queens wit my aunt and my uncle, they let my moms and pops bunk on da humble / good lookin, for doin what most people wouldn’t, buy soon we left there, da kid was headed for brooklyn / first destination, east New York, stayed there bout a year, then again we was off / to da place that made me the man that I am today, Brownsville, USA / in my teens I moved wit granny in Broadnax, then for a while after that I moved forth and back / from NY to VA, VA to BK, but if u ask me what I rep, all I’mma say is

Hook:
I was raised in BK, but I was born in VA
Sent the same amount of time in each place, so I guess it’s only right that I rep each state (2x)

Verse 2:
Bk showed me how to act and rap and Mack, da rich showed me how to rack up stacks from crack / even though the 2 differ majorly, they both played a major part in makin me, me / so from BK to da V I hold it down like superglue, doin what I do to reamin XKLUSIV! duke / Tremaine is the truth and I are jus a carbon copy, and not even a good one doggy, u are sloppy / but I’m good from 95 north to 85 south kid, so sumbody to play me I doubt it / small frame cat but I’m from da ville, so I live by da code “never ran, never will” / wit da hands I am ill but if you duff me out, fuck it, i ain’t gon hold no grudges, 2 tears in a bucket / so wether in the V or in NYC, u ain’t gon ever catch me not bein me nigga cuz

Hook:
I was raised in BK, but I was born in VA
Sent the same amount of time in each place, so I guess it’s only right that I rep each state (2x)
