lyrics

[Chorus]
No I ain’t DC, but DC made me
I grew up in MD, but strayed from the lady
Now I claim C-Ville, but C-Ville’s shaky
So I don’t know where the fuck I’m coming from lately
DC, to Bmore, to VA, now relay
We need some resources, come on, now replay

[Verse 1]
I used to wanna move down to Charleston, SC
But what I had going down there was like “Forget Tisse”
So I let them Second Sunday citizens forget me
And I relocated down to VA, now I’m neck-deep
In vanity plates, dammit why can’t I behave
Like all them DMB fans who I bet cram UVA?
But I’m a fan of this place, I feel I stand in my space
I’ve been planning to keep hammering jams, planning to play
But I do work son, fucking two for one
And I gotta be honest with y’all, the loops more fun
With the spitten bars, but these restaurants’ food’s so YUM
Stomach’s hung’ring for another fucking loop, more DRUMS
I’m not a college kid, I’m not a socialite
I’ve thought a lot of shit that shoulda kept me woke at night
But I guess I’ve got a home now that keeps me cozy, right?
I gotta get my hometown down with these vocals, aiight?

[Verse 2]
I’m aware that I’m new to the area, what of it?
I never said that I’m above it, never said I run shit
I’m having fun, shit, this is what I love, spit-
-ting something just to bump when I run to get some grub quick
Is this an anthem? Maybe if the fandom
Of random enchanted chants would get their hands up
This isn’t standup and I’m not a band, punk
But I’m coming up in the stands to rock the land, WHAT
Astounding like the Blue Ridge Mountains when I do this
Bootleg, music, I don’t have to prove shit
To clueless, humans, doing what they do
You do you, and I’ll do me, so fluid how I spew scripts
The awfullest case of the loggerhea ever seen
Medically there’s definitely never been amphetamines
That get a psyche parallel to where my level’s said to be
Yessiree, you ever need your inner ear hit, get at me

[Verse 3]
You bet I’m in the center of the Lovers’ state, what up
Nothing’s coming from the gutter cuz I’m coming from the suburbs
But that doesn’t mean that I’ve never had my money troubles fucker
No I’ve never been a thug, but why you gotta be so butthurt?
Unearth the history, ponder the mystery
How did I go from Paleontologist to ripping beats?
This is Tisse, just a little kid with vivid dreams
Grown up in an adult’s body but still a fickle freak
I jumped to C-Ville so quick I didn’t get to breathe
I’ve been here for a few months now and I still got shit to see
I don’t make a lot of friends, I don’t make drinking memories
So this is what I’ve got ‘til the end, its what music meant to me
And it’s a shame that hip-hop has got a bad rap
Napping in this village just to get up, then its back’s stabbed
The people neglect it and artists just accept it as
The facts of where they’re at, so here’s Matt to get this back on track
