RVA

I'm where the clubs close early
Cops roll deep
Hipsters protest
And we woke once a week
School system broke
But colleges are straight
And civil war monuments "are not about race"

(Richmond)

Cops set up shop
Run your plate
Even though the water stink
Still swimmin in the James
A new restaurant
Every week
Any day
And everybody love
Just as much as they hate

(Richmond)

My friends keep movin
But they keep comin back
Everybody gotta plan
"Everybody rap"
Whether t-shirts or dirt weed
Bootlegs or pipe dreams
"We got that for cheap"
"We gonna put it on the map"
(Richmond)
Where they love but they hate
Contradiction
They say they wanna leave
But they stay
We got artists
Anarchists
Food deserts
Fresh markets hearts hardened by hardship
Apartments that's hard hit
(Don't start it )
You never really know who is strapped
We ain't settlin for scraps
Like our property when taxed this is personal
(Yuhhhhh)
Put an adlib on that
We got cobblestone roads
Like we hit a rough patch
We want riches
(No)
We don't trust politicians
Ain't only talkin clubs when we say we got Visions
Split like decision on grind for provision
Rep #RVA where I stay

(Richmond)

The Center of Virginia
Where ya stopped and then locked
And it start with a sticker
The Commonwealth State
Where the rent paid late
And everybody love
Just as much as they hate

[Verse 2]

I started as a rapper
Inspired by desire for a happy ever after
Brother was a trapper
Father hes a convict
Mother lost it all
Richmond was the only constant
I was born out West
People told me "I should leave
If I wanna see success
Richmond is a trap
From the bottom to the cap
This is where dreams die
Skillz ain't even comin back"
(Damn)
Year after year though
It's only been a wrap
Ain't perfect but its mine
I put Richmond on my back
Not a tat but a task
No need to ask
If i stay, if I leave
This city's who I am
In Virginia
Ain't s*** to do but Facebook
But take a second look
And you'll see how we push
The clubs close early
And cops roll deep
The hipsters protest
So we woke once a week
