Whole lotta miles from the block... Still hear that pavement talk... Bow bow... Brrr... **[HOOK]** Slime City on my mind... Yuh... Can't shake where a real one come from... Nah... New whip, new crib... Still miss that corner store run... Skrrt... Whole gang scattered... Some got gone... Some still on that dumb... Damn... Heart still posted where the pain got born... That's where I'm from... Brrr... Slime City on my mind... Whole time... Can't outrun them memories... Nah... Money get long... But the nights still cold... That ain't new to me... Yuh... Every scar got a story... Every block know me... Facts... If I make it out... I'ma put the whole hood where it's 'posed to be... Bow bow... **[VERSE 1]** Same cracked sidewalk... Same broke lights... Still raised a beast... Yuh... Old heads posted on milk crates... Talkin' game to the streets... Facts... Mama said stay out them corners... But survival ain't cheap... Nah... Dreams got bigger than the zip code... Feet still planted deep... Brrr... Everybody holler "family"... Till it's pressure... Then they ghost... Damn... Now it's FaceTime funerals... Pour one out... Another toast... Yeah... Seen kids turn grown overnight... Bills due... Rent late... Facts... Everybody wearin' poker faces... Smilin' through dead weight... Yuh... Still love that dirty lil' neighborhood... Even when it did me foul... Nah... That's the place that built this backbone... Made me stand up proud... Bow bow... **[PRE-HOOK]** Late night... Windows down... Bass knock... Heart heavy... Every street sign know my name... Every memory still with me... **[HOOK]** Slime City on my mind... Yuh... Can't shake where a real one come from... Nah... New whip, new crib... Still miss that corner store run... Skrrt... Whole gang scattered... Some got gone... Some still on that dumb... Damn... Heart still posted where the pain got born... That's where I'm from... Brrr...
