HomeTown by Trey Coachman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything I do looks better in slow motion
I can’t be iced out or else I’ll end up frozen
Most people make an assumption when I walk in the room
That my mind can’t function until they see what I can do
Well I’m 15 trying not to make a scene
But the camera is rolling and just knocked down some pins
Pins to sow my face putting up with people being mean
“Why ya so serious?” the joker is questioning me
Hater's are iron man and I have some clothes needed to be steamed
My mom is a lawyer so why don’t I feel fine in court
Cause I only transport the ball and hardly play the sport
Hating on my young age something I can’t even change
This point on, nothing will be the same
I need to be noticed by big lights like the Apollo
Nightmares of being boo-ed of stage my full feeling of sorrow
I gotta win cause I know for sure that this is my time
Like Usher and never forget the Jackson 5
I just need one spark for my own light to shine
Yeah, It gotta to be bright just like a smile
One thing I wanna be here for a while
Never gonna throw in the towel
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I've been kicked, punched, and also made fun of
I couldn't take it anymore from being called son
It was the last straw so I couldn't take a drink
Plus I’m under the age I just wanted tap water from the sink
So I went home and toke the anger strait to the pen
Sometimes I wrote too fast I couldn't stand it
So I sat down and got all my thoughts together
In a line together like an army attacking Australia
I’m just trying to paint a vivid picture in your head
And make ya think about it while your turning in your bed
Waking up in the middle of the night
It’s a fight trying to stay awake to see the amazing sight
Of the stars with no big hype except for Pluto’s little gripe
In the morning going to school trying not to be cool
Cause I was new and I only free styled rap
I didn't write them down cause the message would come out wrong
I just wanted to make one good hip hop song
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
But of course the word went around
The circle became large by the people within the crowd
In classes people wanted me to rap on the spot
Also saying everything Hip hop I do is fake
From my dancing and my rapping which they couldn't take
It was the first time so it hurt me all the way to the ground
I stood up and didn't tell anybody a sound
Until I went to a beat and looked at a cloud
Right then and there god got me back on my feet again
I learned after a year who were my real friends
It was hard to swim to the good being pulled by the hate
Trying to break me down like 9/11
Sorry but I'm be going down like New Years Day
People know something different is what I’m gonna say
I wanna affect people like hip hop affected me
Once I heard my first hip hop song
I started to believe
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
It’s my mission I have to fulfill
Even if I gotta stand in mud and stay still
I can’t stay still people know that at your first glance
I gotta move or else I’ll fall strait like a shark
Swimming fast Ouch! That bite is gonna leave a mark
A mark that paints the road that I will eventually follow
I’m not Harry Potter going into the Deathly Hollows
This road might be long or end up short
Take me to a studio anywhere even New York
If each foot I have isn't connected onto this road
Then it must be affected by something the devil has sold
But I’m following an old path with new footprints
Going to Bel-Air but just the new kid not the prince
Right now I’m standing in a new position
Like LeBron before Miami I gotta make a decision
Everything I do looks better in slow motion
I can’t be iced out or else I’ll end up frozen
Most people make an assumption when I walk in the room
That my mind can’t function until they see what I can do
Well I’m 15 trying not to make a scene
But the camera is rolling and just knocked down some pins
