Home Run Derby

[Intro]
One Hundred

[Chorus]
I remember home run derbys in the neighborhood
If I don't strike out swingin, imma stay for good
Young heathen, chasing after greater good
Always prayed to Jesus, 'cause my parents knew to raise me good, uh

[Verse 1]
Take me back to Linwood shenanigans
Grew up on 20th street, wasn't no mansion then
Some say the house was small, but we was managin'
Compared to all my homies down the street, it was glamorous, yuh
'Cause Cole taught me how to love mine
I learned that family runs deeper than a bloodline
Fake friends hit you back when the sun shines
Real friends show up to your door when it's tough times
So, I cut ties with a couple friends
Got a deal, started poppin', just a subtle flex
Now they all fall in line like a shuffle step
Same girls who left me on read send me the double text
I remember when my faith was childlike
Heaven in the music, that's what every song would sound like
I knew that God gave me purpose inside a sound-bite
Somehow, I knew everything would be alright

[Chorus]
I remember home run derbys in the neighborhood
If I don't strike out swingin, imma stay for good
Young heathen, chasing after greater good
Always prayed to Jesus, 'cause my parents knew to raise me good, uh

[Verse 2]
I gotta paint the picture 'cause it's Paramount
This is everything in life I care about
Couldn't wait to grow up, maybe blow up, and then make it out
Now it's like a time machine is all I ever pray about
Thinkin' bout
Summer days, ten dollars in my pocket
Just enough for ice cream and tater tots at Sonic
Bike got stolen, so from then I had to walk it
But I didn't mind it, I learned to love the silence (yuh)
See that was often when I'd contemplate
Music is my trade, but I'ma still go to college, wait
Lotta kids aiming for the Med school scholarships, but
My flow surgical, show the world how I operate
I remember me, Trey, Maven, and Kiante
Deshawn, Donovan, and my little brothers on Sunday
We would play pickup in the backyard driveway
Really miss those boys and I hope to see 'em someday

[Chorus]
I remember home run derbys in the neighborhood
If I don't strike out swingin, imma stay for good
Young heathen, chasing after greater good
Always prayed to Jesus, 'cause my parents knew to raise me good, uh

[Outro]
I gotta paint the picture 'cause it's Paramount
This is everything in life I care about, ayy
I gotta paint the picture 'cause it's Paramount
This is everything in life I care about (Coop)
