Hometown

Welcome to my hometown Rockaway that's my locale Let me give ya'll the lowdown Every night last call there's a showdown So you gotta stay smart No it's not for the faint heart Raise your glass to the folks that have passed on Rest in peace J Mart In your memory I'm rockin Yeah you're gone but you'll never be forgotten Save a spot for your boy up in heaven Let me tell you where I come from Ain't no fakers where I come from That's why you don't come from where I come from Let me tell you where I come from Ain't no strangers where I come from That's why you not welcomed where I come from Welcome to the boardwalk We all brothers but we all fought On the summertime ball courts Flip flops, tank tops and some ball shorts We show love when it calls for it Like the troops overseas and soldiers at war for us I'm praying that you come back Know I got a blunt ready when you unpack (Hah) Real talk, hope you get home safe First round's on me when you hit homebase (Yeah) I'll be with you till the last drop Just take the A train to the last stop Let me tell you where I come from Ain't no fakers where I come from That's why you don't come from where I come from Let me tell you where I come from Ain't no strangers where I come from That's why you not welcomed where I come from And it feels like only yesterday that the ocean met the bay Houses burned down, homes were swept away People lost businesses I can't stomach looking at the images Bitch Sandy stole our innocence Had us moving like immigrants Trust we the type of citizens you never wanna bid against Especially when there's a wall that we're pinned against We'll be in it till the bitter end Get it in from the first day of summer till the winter end Go to sleep, wake up and do the shit again One love, boy I gotta say peace Signing off, Bobby J, I'm from Rockaway Beach Let me tell you where I come from Ain't no fakers where I come from That's why you don't come from where I come from Let me tell you where I come from Ain't no strangers where I come from That's why you not welcomed where I come from
