I was just a young boy,
Raised out in Carson,
Ambla Elementary,
Principal Dr Larson,
Me and my godbrotha,
Tyrin Davis,
Walkin down the hallways,
He got all the ladies
I was just a nappy head
Livin on the 9 block,
'Brandy went to Bedcross,
I was at the chronic spot
Did a lil' rooster
And my homey shantwain-
And the homey Big B
Put me on the game
The big homey solo
Told me not to bang
He told me don't put
My career to a shame
But I did, anyway,
And I got in trouble but
I had the hookup on the hundred dolla double ups,
My nigga E-dog he had the flow,
And when I snuck out my window,
I used to go smoke up his endo
Oh

My dad was always at Church
Working in his office,
And my cousin Ryan got a
Scholarship to college
Everything start happening
All so quick- fast
I got on a TV show
And started to make cash,
My sister's on the radio
Banging through the stereo,
I remember when we used to go
Skate at Skate Depot,
Damn those were the days,
Things just ain't the same,
And to my little homie D-O,
You gotta be careful in this game

Guess who I do it back
So all I do is that
So how I'm giving back,
Put my city on the map
That's why I do it back
First time I held this track
So how I'm giving back,
Put my city on the map

In Centerview

Oh, I used to take the circuit bus
To the Carson mall,
To go buy cans of spray paint to
Hit up on the walls,
I was young and dumb,
I was livin' crazy,
But thank God for my family, 'cause
Man they really saved me, yeah,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
To everybody in my city
That remembers good times, oh oh,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
I took a ride back to Carson
Just to hug a few friends, oh oh,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
You see, I know I can get you chillin
On the block around ten, Oh oh,
{Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh}
Ay, And all the soldiers that didn't go
Who are locked up in the pen
Woah
