Essaay - Childhood Lyrics




I'm from where sun is shining and people are dying
Every tourist wants a piece so they're ready to dive in
To the palm trees I let my mind breath
As I feel the ocean breeze
Sand glass cutting my feet
Cause this is what they've left us with
A sand filled kingdom that takes dreams way too quick
I won't let it stick
Cause on my way to Laudy I got fortune read
She said baby girl you're ready for this
Ready to take over the world, rocket ship
Before my trip
Took a detour took a dip
To my old neighbourhood had to sit
Cause now all of the Dominicans are fine papi chulos
And them zoes cooking curry with they roti so I'm cooling
My dad said he'll pick me up at 5 which means 7
Running on that island time
That coco bread and patty time
Never knew all of the things that made me
Look at how Broward County has raised me

If only you knew
If only you knew, you knew
All the things we do
I bet you'd wanna be us too
I bet you'd wanna be us too
I bet you'd wanna be us too

Late night drive in movies at the swap shop
Some nights at young circle praying we don't get stopped
Cause I see people creeping and the cops are kinda deep in here
Don't want no trouble
Another statistic is what I fear
Cause it seems like they want us to do bad
Like we can't be content with the lives that we have
Don't get me wrong
I want more than 9 to 5's at Popeyes
So I'm grinding to see more than Deerfield shorelines
But the view is hella nice out here
98 degrees the only tea is iced out here
Mango trees looking hella tropical out here
We ain't Miami but we vibing all night out here
We may not be what you see on TV
But somehow everything is how it's meant to be
Never knew all of the things that made me
Look at how Broward County has raised me

If only you knew
If only you knew, you knew
All the things we do
I bet you'd wanna be us too
I bet you'd wanna be us too
I bet you'd wanna be us too

Repping 954 everyday
Y'all vacation where we like to play
Repping 954 everyday
Y'all vacation where we like to play

If only you knew
If only you knew, you knew
All the things we do
I bet you'd wanna be us too
I bet you'd wanna be us too
I bet you'd wanna be us too
