[Chorus]

I've got a story to be told

Two last names and a whole damn state

I got a namesake to uphold

Namesake to uphold

I've got a story to be told

Two last names and a whole damn state

I got a namesake to uphold

I got a namesake to uphold

[Verse 1]

For the longest I've been lonely forging my path

Then I keep in mind home is always where I'm at

973 is critical to my past

Birthplace, first place I walked into class

That was short-lived, memories harder to grasp

But I still feel it in my bones when I just gotta spazz

Moved down the Parkway to maneuver from the madness

But Brick City laid the foundation for what's happening

Here in the 732, I found my passion

In the band room, when I rocked purple and black

Outta state to get a plate of humble pie for my craft

A degree and a voice through these raps I came back with

Now I'm by the bay, I can hear the waves crashing

No hanky-panky but I'm in the game active

Not even on the rides, I'm just along for the ride

Might catch me at Olde Heidel, rum bucket and a basket

[Chorus]

I've got a story to be told

Two last names and a whole damn state

I got a namesake to uphold

Namesake to uphold

I've got a story to be told

Two last names and a whole damn state

I got a namesake to uphold

I got a namesake to uphold

[Verse 2]

At times it can get lonely writing these raps

Like my marketing team is me, myself and some apps

If I make something mean, gotta give myself some dap

That's not how it should be with the friends from home I have

That's word to Phil and Amber, now I'm going way back

Supported me before the beats, I can't overstate that

Quarantine is forcing these mixes to stay tack, on point

Took pointers from Riv that saved tracks

I missing hitting shows in AP then gang hitting the ave

WSA and friends, where Sierra and Jay at?

One time for Keith Mac, Diesel got his own fuel

He knows no one sees what you will, just keep your vision intact

Did you read Outliers or just skim through the chapters?

No genius does it alone- go ask Gladwell

In between the ten thousand hours you spend in practice

Should be the moments spent with the ones who got you established

[Chorus]

I've got a story to be told

Two last names and a whole damn state

I got a namesake to uphold

Namesake to uphold

I've got a story to be told

Two last names and a whole damn state

I got a namesake to uphold

I got a namesake to uphold

[Outro]

Auntie told me this time is the best for me

Single with no kids, nothing to really tether me

Big bro stayed in the A, started a family

Seen moves to LA, Music City, Tennessee

And right now it's foolish to say I'll never leave

But home is so deep in my DNA it ain't leaving me

Yeah

Jerz!
