| So, you’re a philosopher?
|
| Yes
|
| (It's like, basically growin up on the East)
|
| (Chum, you know what I’m talkin about?)
|
| I grew up where the summers are hotter than Lucifer’s kitchen
|
| Plus nuclear fission, you do the addition
|
| Where the winters are colder than the polar region
|
| So the changing season got our brains uneven
|
| The cause of our accents, the place we represent
|
| We don’t pronounce R’s like a speech impediment
|
| Our influence on hip-hop's beats is evident
|
| The first to rock raps on «Impeach the President»
|
| The East, much love to my West coast homies
|
| But I dedicate this song to the place that’s home to me
|
| Where Latin Kings used to rock black and gold rosary
|
| Always back and forth to the city cause it was close to me
|
| Never heard of where I’m from? |
| Shit, I ain’t sweatin it
|
| Apathy, hands down, king of Connecticut
|
| Ah-yup, and all my tri-state neighbors
|
| Cause when the East is in the house «Oh my God,» danger
|
| «Now I’m gonna show you how the East coast rocks»
|
| «Let me show these cats what rockin the mic’s about»
|
| «Now I’m gonna show you how the East coast rocks»
|
| «I represent the East baby that’s where I’m from» |
