Hometown Hero - Philthy Rich

I’m the nigga where I’m from

Uh-huh, look

You ain’t did it like I done it, can’t walk in my shoes

Tryna motivate the streets, ain’t got nothin' to prove

Who gave you niggas hope when they told you to lose?

Backpacks and turkey drives they ain’t put on the news

Hometown hero, I don’t do it for views

I’m a legend where I’m from, I done paid all my dues

Hometown hero, I don’t do it for views

I’m the nigga in my city, don’t get it confused

Hundred pair of Reds I done gave away

They said them niggas wasn’t good, so I stayed away

Thirty cops on side the stage up at Rolling Loud

They mad this Lambo and this Bentley cost five hundred thou'

Taco Tuesdays at the Slaphouse

That nigga tough at the tongue 'til we hop out

Backpacks and turkey drives, this the fifth year

Still’ll pull up in the foreign in the fifth gear

Couldn’t do no shows up in Oakland since '08

But kept my foot on the gas, bitch, the whole way

Always dreamed about performing at The Oracle

When I finally hit that stage, it was historical, it’s Philthy

You ain’t did it like I done it, can’t walk in my shoes

Tryna motivate the streets, ain’t got nothin' to prove

Who gave you niggas hope when they told you to lose?

Backpacks and turkey drives they ain’t put on the news

Hometown hero, I don’t do it for views

I’m a legend where I’m from, I done paid all my dues

Hometown hero, I don’t do it for views

I’m the nigga in my city, don’t get it confused

Charity basketball game, me and Cook

I was still street smart, but played by the book

Gave away five verses free for Thanksgiving

Had a healthy litter of merles, gotta thank Beavis

Blacklisted, so they put me on the cover, nigga

I bought FOD chains for a hundred niggas

Opened up a clothing store in the barber shop

You was never in the trap, you ain’t never cop

Couldn’t sell a thousand CDs all on consignment

Gave away a thousand backpacks at Youth Horizon

I’m just speakin' to the kids from my past experience

Spent three mil' in ice, but I ain’t get insurance, it’s Philthy

You ain’t did it like I done it, can’t walk in my shoes

Tryna motivate the streets, ain’t got nothin' to prove

Who gave you niggas hope when they told you to lose?

Backpacks and turkey drives they ain’t put on the news

Hometown hero, I don’t do it for views

I’m a legend where I’m from, I done paid all my dues

Hometown hero, I don’t do it for views

I’m the nigga in my city, don’t get it confused

Uh-uh, nigga, don’t get it confused

Niggas know who out here pushin' this Oakland shit, makin' us look good

Still keepin' it one thou' in the streets

Backpack giveaways, turkey drives, you feel me?

Still pullin' up in these foreigns, all my niggas shinin'

My niggas got more ice than you rappers, nigga, huh?

Let’s keep it one thousand though

It’s Philthy, nigga, I been doin' this shit back to back, you feel me?

Hometown hero shit

It’s Philthy, nigga
