Hometown by Mall Lyrics
(Verse 1)
People always ask me why I work so hard
Give it my all because there ain't no promise for tomorrow
Look in my eyes and you can see that i'm hurting dawg
But once I make it man I promise that it's worth it all
My blood, sweat and tears, everything I sacrificed
I'm hungry as can be and success is my appetite
So I grind for the city that raised me
'Cause a beast was born 11 years after 1980
Sun City that's my home, reppin it 'til i'm dead and gone
Even though us local artists be getting no love from the radios
I'm sayin yo imma make it though
Hold on to the faith I ain't letting go
Memories of my childhood make me wish sometimes that I wasn't grown
Do it for my hometown and all my people that got dreams
So take the red sign off the street'cause ain't nothing gon' stop me
To the top i'm gon' rise
That's the truth homie no lie
Hard hitter like Brian Young and I ain't done til they recognize my Hometown!
(Hook)
(Verse 2)
El Paso, Texas this is where i'm from
On top of Mexico, we the city of the sun
South Central that's the side where I grew up
But no matter where you from I still show love
I came a long way homie, I paid my dues
I'd probably win if I decide to run for mayor too
Number 1 that's all me, gold medal dawg
I'm slappin it imma champion just like Eddie Guerrero was!
My hometown is full of heroes, Ray Mickens I salute
Willie Cager still round here, giving back to the local schools
Plenty questions that's being asked can only lead to one answer
Greatest man to ever coach, legendary Don Haskins
Scenic Drive at midnight, see the star on the mountain
I be feeling like that's me so speak up if you wanna doubt that
Tell them people E.P. if they ask where i'm from
I'm that dude with the tattoos on my left arm, symbolizing my Hometown!
(Hook)
