[Vocal]
Yea, I am one hundred steps up from where I was then to where I am now. I am never falling back. The only way for me now is up, on top.

[Verse 1]
Yo! if you really want to know!, I was born in north Cali. You know, chocolate city. Yea Oakland, East side!, yea I was kicking it up in the East bay back in the day. Yea! surviving on the block of 84th and Bancroft. Yea I was learning quick in the street game how to get mine, yea quick in the game back in time it all started at the age of nine hitting the corner store stealing penny candy. A full mouth of sugar back in the day was quite dandy.

[Verse 2]
Here we go, you really want to know!, know! since  we on the clock, living life was hard on the block. Brawling down in the Oakland flats you know where little thunder cats were trying to run the hood! Yea, east Oakland, East side, East bay! Cali.

[Chorus]
Yo, check this, my mama wasn’t having it she was on a working grind and she broke the chains of the east Oakland crime making a dollar out of dime she put me on a path making it easy for me to get mine.  East Oakland is in my bones, it is the foundation that made me strong. From the Oakland flats to the South Cali hills, laid back, you know in my crib a Mill. I am grateful, thank you Mama.

[Verse 3]
I started at the early age of nine on the grind, Vernadeen was mine. Me and my thunder cat crew running capers on the hood fruit truck, hustling coke bottles to turn a buck. I was 13 when I choked on my first toke, my strength was put to the test brawling during school recess. Running from the police in real time. East Oakland life in the hood at an early age is where I stood. Cali!

[Chorus]
Yo, check this, my mama wasn’t having it she was on a working grind and she broke the chains of the east Oakland crime making a dollar out of a dime she put me on a path making it easy for me to get mine. East Oakland is in my bones, it is the foundation that made me strong. From the Oakland flats to the South Cali hills, laid back, you know in my crib a Mill. I am grateful.

[Verse 4]
Yo! if you really want know, Know, I was born in north Cali you know, chocolate city, yea east Oakland, east side, yea kicking on the east bay, back in the day. You know 84th and Bancroft.  At the early age of nine running from the police in real time.
