[Intro - Charles & Patricia Scott (Marcus Smith)]

That's to record

That one's to record

See that one is, when you push that one it records

That's what? (For your voice)

For your voice? (Yes)

Oh! Okay well go ahead and talk on it

(You say it)

What are you saying?

(Push it!)

Yeah, okay On the radio!

Damon's on the radio!

[Verse]

I was seeded on Keswick sprouted on South Boulevard

Then I fully bloomed, Ledge Road Macedonia

Homie I, grew up on bread and Beefaroni

Eating metamucil cookies, ain't shit you could've told me

In the kindergarten, told me man you gonna cure cancer

Now-a-days I'm struggling still trying to find the answer and

Life ain't what it seems when wе were kids thought it was simple

But I havеn't been naive since my face was just a pimple

I would ride the bus and when I looked outside the window

Saw the world pass me by like a Pharcyde sample

Had the prize upon the mantle, couldn't satiate the hunger

I had to find another way to keep from going under

Never blunder, but I slipped tripped and stumbled

The first time I was bullied was the day that I was humbled

Sitting on the school bus and he hit me in the jaw

I was frozen in my seat and man I could not move at all

I don't think I even cried I was just in so much shock see

Never told my parents I just sucked it up and walked

About a couple miles to and from most every day

Because I didn't want to run the risk of fucking up my face

I wasn't cool by any stretch of any mind see, 90s

No one really checking how was I

Couldn't see it then, but bet your ass I see it currently

I'm better for it and I wish I never let it worry me

Carried it so long like a black Atlas

Back in high school I used to piss all on my mattress

Fact is, I used to hang with cousins and my auntie

Playing Donkey Kong and tuning in listening to Odyssey (Bjorn Free!)

Hard to see it now but I am just the fucking same

Had to get myself used to playing the other's games

Now I pimp the system feeling unashamed

But I feel a sense of pride because I use my brother's name

(What up Prov!)

Never got not having a pot to piss in

Til this year I can't even afford to pay attention

Rent's due and my pay checks missing

But I'm too proud to ask folks to pitch in

Listen, didn't think that this is where I'd be

Don't know who I am but I could probably use some therapy

Thinking carefully, am I oversharing?

Need to analyze my life and find that it ain't really scary

Very anxious and I'm feeling like I'm breathing in asbestos

This whole entire world is so young and it's restless

Been doing what I love since the age of five

Now reality is showing me the days of our lives

It's like I'm watching as the world turns slowly

I got one life to live and I'll make sure the world knows me

Even if I have to go crazy as Mrs. Nesbitt

Remember that it started on a road called Keswick

(Keswick, Keswick, Keswick, Keswick)

[Outro - Patricia Scott (Marcus Smith)]

Glad you slept good, did you sleep good Damon?

Maria said she slept good, did you sleep good?

Damon Marcus!

He's busy with that microphone Maria

Him and that microphone Maria!

You're busy with your microphone Damon

(No I don't!)

Yeah you are

Yes you are

Yes you are!

(Mack daddy make ya!)

Yeah, see you can't get Kriss Kross on that one
