stages lyrics
[verse 1]
look, crescent park building with the bullet holes (bullet holes)
fleming street housing, it was full of those (full of those)
brodie had the blue nissan, keep calm
when he pulled up in the circle, it was full of hoes (hoes)
man, i used to dig through my sister clothes (what?)
fresh sweatsuits from the liquor store (d+mn)
sixth grade, got my first fade on my birthday
rest in peace, big marv, you was pivotal (yeah)
now we run the globe with a different code
difficult when you from the bay but call richmond home (yee)
what you fishin’ for? listеn close
play your position until you get in position, don’t get pigеonholed (nah)
nonsensical, tryin’ to follow a sense of cool
tryin’ to follow the n+ggas we worshipped when we was ditchin’ school (school)
don’t be switchin’ tunes (what?), keep the same attitude
whether win or we lose, don’t let ’em pick and choose (yes)
but i’ve chosen to see different, a rose in the street cement
i rose from the deepest end (deep)
still, i’m treadin’ through the waters, don’t sink or swim (nah)
upstream, obscene how they sleep on him (what?)
but i don’t stress none of that at all, every rap is a adderall
every album’s a new opportunity, see, i had to crawl (crawl)
before i could walk or run, march to my father’s drum
reach for the stars, but don’t cross the sun (yeah)
[chorus]
and that’s what it made me (made me)
young rich city and it raised me (yee)
and i been seen it, been through it all (through it all)
had to take lumps, had to take a fall (yeah)
and i took showers with the lights off (lights off)
and my mama never took nights off (nights off)
and they came dumpin’, cuttin’ lights off (doo+doo)
everything i did, i had to fight for, yeah

[verse 2]
on stage, stages had to be climbed (yeah)
i would rather practice instead of wastin’ my time (what?)
i was sleep in class, they said it’s wastin’ tuition
what good is the price paid when you’re wavin’ your intuition? (yeah)
days i would sit to myself, but felt doubted (doubted)
instead of whinin’, decided to finally climb out it (out)
now that i pilot my own flight, they switch the vibe (vibe)
tried clippin’ my wings, now wanna hitch a ride
stand by, this cabin is at capacity
the trip can get bumpy when money becomes a faculty (yeah)
instead of holdin’ this baggage over my head
carry on, but don’t crash chasin’ after the bread (nah)
bred to be self+sufficient (what?)
taught to give thanks, so stop worryin’ ’bout the angst in someone else’s kitchen (yeah)
read between the seams someone else is stitchin’
said it’s in his genes, but they failed to mention, remember? (yeah)
[chorus]
and that’s what it made me (made me)
young rich city and it raised me (yee)
and i been seen it, been through it all (through it all)
had to take lumps, had to take a fall (yeah)
and i took showers with the lights off (lights off)
and my mama never took nights off (nights off)
and they came dumpin’, cuttin’ lights off (doo+doo)
everything i did, i had to fight for, yeah

[outro]
and i been seen it, been through it all
had to take lumps, had to take a fall
everything i did, i had to fight for, yeah
