caco - papatoetoe lyrics
[verse 1]
where do i begin?
was still a baby when i moved in
played with the neighbor’s kids
made my first friends
i thought life was amazing
even though living conditions weren’t
we weren’t even rich enough
to buy some conditioner
but listen sir
i still made the most of my time there
that’s probably why i’m weird
and a bit of a nightmare
i mean hey, hold up
at least i wasn’t sheltered
’cause who the f-ck wants to be
on top of the bell curve?
’cause here in pap
we ain’t the normal-est folks
we crack the poorest of jokes
then still keep roarin’ for mo’ (yo)
so take a chance, come down
reminisce in the dark
grab a cody’s and we’ll head down
to kimpton park (let’s go)
[hook]
p-a-p-a-t-o-e-t-o-e
papatoetoe, yeah, that’s where my home be
p-a-p-a-t-o-e-t-o-e
papatoetoe, yeah, i ain’t never gon’ leave (x2)
[verse 2]
back it up a little
what was i doing at 12 years old?
tryin’ to ride my bicycle down the street
with no help involved
scr-ped knees on the hot asphalt
cried like a baby
d-mn it was a hot -ss fall
but yo
give me a break
i was tryin’ my hardest
tryin’ harder than tryin’ to be
an aspirin’ artist
and all the neighborhood popped up
they were tryin’ to help
said i won’t get nowhere if i did this all by myself
my mate’s dad came and gave me a shove on my bike
that’s when papatoetoe became the love of my life
such a sense of community
such a sense of this unity
everyone’s always so welcoming
it’s never just you and me
i’m pursuing
these dreams of mine
with a peace of mind
i’m gettin’ the support
that i need to thrive
they’ll even back you
if you got a weaker spine
pap is the one thing
i can never leave behind (come on)
[hook]
p-a-p-a-t-o-e-t-o-e
papatoetoe, yeah, that’s where my home be
p-a-p-a-t-o-e-t-o-e
papatoetoe, yeah, i ain’t never gon’ leave (x2)
