Lyrics

You can find me where the sun don't shine, Kronk City

Nothing 'bout these slums is pretty, I'm done with pity

Waiting for someone to hear me, bare what I reap

From the moment I sold it you know I own it

As it appears through grief, tears, and commotion

Sick of hoping and other known notions

Between walls are the cause for my emotions

Unfolding on the page, blowing smoke, sipping potions

Not resolving what I hold in, hold this for a thought

If I react the same way then is it different to before? (Is it?)

Still feel at war with these drifting thoughts

I know some say I should probably listen more

But I know that life's got so much more in store (Pause)

I just need a moment to breathe

Only yesterday I was roaming lone as a teen, scoping a scheme

Tell bro we leave a hole in your jeans, know what I mean? (Fuck sake)

Road sold him a dream, copers we be

Growing old, life evolving at speeds, as hopeless it seems

I can't let go of these scenes

Cuz C-R-O where I been

Guess it's home, a home that wasn't chosen, it's me

Where I've roamed, learnt lessons, earnt blessings and seen

The best and the worst, learnt death and the depth of my worth

Sketching the words on the same turf I'm yet to return

If home's where the heart is then I wear it on my sleeve

This is where it started and what led me to believe

In all my artists, even through hardship and grief

I grew through the carnage and planted the seed

Found something worth crafting, I mastered the speech

Moving past all I was masking, these targets achieved

If home's where the heart is then I wear it on my sleeve

This is where it started and this is where I be

And over the years I've been about

Still here but I'm better with my peers in the South

They hear what we 'bout, scribbling the rarest of sounds

Fear and they doubt, yo it's Kronks baby we're in the town

Came up, me and Ket sipping beer in his house

Taught me how to free, I was steering clear of the crowd

Now we on stage, appreciate they cheering loud

Now, it's been a mad 9 years when I look back (For real)

Whoever thought the kid would rap?

Cuz I was too busy looking at shit I could jack

Tales of a good lad, but thoughts on what he should have

Took the piss, I took this, and I took that

And when push came to shove I had to push back

Me I took a risk and made it work

I ain't saying I'm up, I'm just aiming for what's deserved

Still find me late pacing the plains, swaying on curbs

Blatantly verbs, the ends a place of my birth

And you'll find it ain't just me who has a way with the words

Shout out Ronelle, G, Bags, Strange, Baddy and Earth

Still carrying hurt and some people carry it worse

Me I casually verse what I hold within

Only with the hope of slowly solving things

And I ain't usually prone to win

C-R-O where this road begins

If home's where the heart is then I wear it on my sleeve

This is where it started and what led me to believe

In all my artists, even through hardship and grief

I grew through the carnage and planted the seed

Found something worth crafting, I mastered the speech

Moving past all I was masking, these targets achieved

If home's where the heart is then I wear it on my sleeve

This is where it started and this is where I be
