[Verse 1]
As a kid, I had jack shit back in the day
No Stussies, no bike, no Nikes, no way
And I knew it meant target when they said target
So I cut the tags off but at the end of the day
I guess you are what you eat, your last and name your street
You can remedy the melody, but never change the beat
So I made that beat work, and now they say I done did it
But the truth is the only choice I had was run with it go!
You wanna come get it, I'll be waiting right here
Rockin' target and my aero sport like yeah
I finally made it to the top of the game
Now I can make a brand hot just by droppin' a name
It's all good
[Chorus]
And where I've been, my shadow follow me (follow me)
So I know where I've been from where I've got to go (where I go)
So now I keep on thinkin' that my fears will swallow me (swallow me)
'Cause it's all good I know my way I'll get back home
(Way back home)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, look
I've tripped deep to the beat of a drum
Asleep throughout class till the weekend would come
Play sneakers and run quick from the back of the bus
I'm in the back door cause I don't had a ticket as such
They're kickin' a fuss, fuck it, mates picking me up
And the vibe in the Commodore still vivid enough
To know exactly where I came from, livin' it rough
The vision it shined bright, when the system was off
And I told em' I rhymed tight till I'm living us up
And they know I rhyme tight, so they're giving me love
Yeah, I finally made it to the top of the game
And I can feel it from the stage when they're rockin' my name, it's all good
[Chorus]
And where I've been, my shadow follow me (follow me)
So I know where I've been from where I've got to go (where I go)
So now I keep on thinkin' that my fears will swallow me (swallow me)
'Cause it's all good I know my way I'll get back home
(Way back home)
[Verse 3]
To be true, there's been nights where I didn't believe
So I sat in my room praying, lookin' up from my knees
Made a wish on a star, hopin' that my luck would change
And I don't know if God heard me, but I'm up on a stage
And this is crazy, who would have thought I'd come this far
From a couple of spliff spits in the back of that car
And with a couple of thousand kids that are packin' the bar
And are willin' to pay for tickets with the cash on the card
So it's crucial every time I put the paper to use
If you couldn't relate, it's simply a waste of my youth
I'm takin' the truth with me to the top of the game
And if you're feelin' what I'm sayin' then we're one and the same
[Chorus]
And where I've been, my shadow follow me
So I know where I've been from where I've got to go
So now I keep on thinkin' that my fears will swallow me
'Cause it's all good I know my way I'll get back home
(Way back home)
And where I've been, my shadow follow me (follow me)
So I know where I've been from where I've got to go (where I go)
So now I keep on thinkin' that my fears will swallow me (swallow me)
'Cause it's all good I know my way I'll get back home
(Way back home)
