(Intro)


(Jay Mitch)


(Notebook):

Never represented the hood. Still, not as heaven-sent as I should've been
That's the message, and I guess it's how I was pushed to be
'cause they test my temper and look like I could be sweet,
but I'm really the meanest. It could just be...
'cause I'm N.J bred, so I'm good. No sweat,
we've been wrecking your set. Understood.
I learned from the best, made a mess, and they're shook
when we flex; feeling like Brock Lesnar. I wrestle with rookies,
not getting the fact that we run the whole state
Drive won't stop like we're whipping it with no breaks
From Elementary to High School,
It's been nothing better than chilling and riding with my crew
Quite cool, but still can easily go and be type rude
I might move silently, but when I strike...
whose quick enough to run and hide? I love this life,
where I come from, and everything it taught us...
from the summer nights, to the winter-cold. Won't forget it, no..
Roaming through the streets for the fun was like the centerfold...
I want to grip ahold of that and bring it back (bring it back)
And when they hear this, I hope that they sing it back
I want to grip ahold of that and bring it back (bring it back)
This is more than a rap, but a calling in fact.
Grow Down. Grown Down.
'cause Growing Up is so old now.
Just let it go now.
