Elm City Trees

I'm from a city that's half pretty and half gritty Aint too many cities rocking with the Elm City Home of the blazers, those were the days When I played, all these fastbreaks we don't need plays We play on Sunday's like we don't need praise Pressing all game like we don't need breaks No debate, best team in the state We flow like the lakers back in '88 I learned to play Crazy 8's in the city that raised The kid that wanna be big, like I wanna be BIG I really hate the way rap's portrayed I want the kids in the Elm to see a different way Because way back I knew that I would get some pay In the mirror everyday tryna get some waves And I aint tryna push weight, I wanna own estate Putting on for the state on my license Elm City All I need is my Elm City Trees Avoided the trap, now you know where I beez Everywhere I go I rep that 203 Yea I love my home, but I had to leave Growing up in Fairside, what's a fair one? I don't fear no one except God and his son Imagine if the chosen one chose to run They say the game aint over til it's over, son So I'm playing for the win, never following trends People find a new wave just to follow again Why don't you be ya own leader? It's only right Instead of drinking 2 liters of that cancerous Sprite Catch me vamping at night in a world full of zombies Fighting the fight and that's word to my mommy Chased my heart, now I play the part Got dreams to run the Elm like I'm Toni Harpe Illest rapper on the scene that you heard or seen I'll prolly sell out the Green instead of selling green Elm City's what I rep, better watch ya step Show that set some respect and protect ya neck, at all times All I need is my Elm City Trees Avoided the trap, now you know where I beez Everywhere I go I rep that 203 Yea I love my home, but I had to leave I don't rep no set, but I rep the Elm When you speak on our name please respect the Elm I love my even more since I left the Elm Even though I left I can't neglect the Elm Look, everywhere I go I reflect the Elm Half pretty, half gritty I accept the Elm You disrespect the Elm, I protect the Elm Please protect ya neck when you step in the Elm I swear it never fails, see a thing never tell On my way to the top, won't say I never fell I'm here to tell a story without telling a story Learn from the OGs and pass it off to the shorties I had a dream last night, we seen our last fight And freed everyone that didn't deserve life We deserve a good life so I fight the fight Elm City we on, God bless and goodnight All I need is my Elm City Trees Avoided the trap, now you know where I beez Everywhere I go I rep that 203 Yea I love my home, but I had to leave All I need All I breathe All I need I love my trees
