Keem - Small Town Boy Lyrics

Growing up in a small town
Where I feel like i might drown
In these expectations all around
So I work hard and never break down
I don't know where i'm going
Or even why I'm flowing
Cause people think i'm joking
When i say i do this rap thing
But I'm not gonna stop
Till i'm at the top
Continue the music drops
Even if this song flops
I'ma give this more than my all
If i don't then I'll fall
Unique so i stand out tall
This is it I've found my call
They say you can be anything
So why not be the rap king
Wanna see the world from here to Beijing
When people say I can't that shit stings

Everyone said be what you want
So i went out got what I sought
This is me shooting my shot
Because tell me why not
I just wanna be given a chance
So many people wont even glance
When they do the rap puts them in a trance
My time is now no need for an advance
I feel like I live in the middle of nowhere
But I can feel a change I swear
To be honest making its rare
And of that I'm aware
Recording this in a shitty booth
But my lyrical ability is through the roof
Everyone knows that's the truth
And this is the cold hard proof
Growing up poor made me stronger
But i ain't a small town boy no longer
This rap game I'ma conquer
But I'll do it with honor
Studied rap like an exam
Listen to k dot and was like damn
I'm gonna do this and be the man
And i believe that i can
If it starts to get rough
And i'm locked in cuffs
I'm keeping going till i got all the stuff
I want which wont be enough
I remember getting evicted
But it didn't make me twisted
And get me convicted
Cause deep down i know i'm gifted
And I'ma get the future that I've predicted
Maybe not today or the next
But don't worry I'll get those checks
Ill be working till my last breath
Not so i can flex
By dropping projects
Here's what's coming next
I want to take care of my family
Like they did for me
When i told them my fantasy
That I'm going to turn to reality
I've upgraded beyond

This small town
Not no more
Not a small town boy no more
