Green Olives

Forgotten memories returned to me

Old songs, old faces

I wandered in many lands and cities and yet I felt the magnetic pull of home

And why?

This little town and the immortal yields around it were not the only home I had on Earth

So bear with me and then farewell

Stevie B's Spring Love bumping out the speaker box

Grew up with the Puerto Ricans, used to rob sneaker spots

Green olives and arroz con pollo

Only white boy out in the hood, Han Solo

We used to rob Gordon Shoes, shopliftin' while they snooze

Showin' off at school then made the morning news

A group of teens left a worker's eye socket bruised

Did a stickup like Bishop now I got the Juice

My aunt Donna met Manny then they had Vanessa

My little cousin beat a bitch ass if you test her

Testarossa posters, arroz con pollo

Ask the mayor of SoTo, I had the dopest Polo

Was born in Willi Rico, lethal with the uno, dos

Rappin' like a nuclear reactor, make the humans roast

Summertime's like the surface of Mercury

My tape inside the deck will dissect all the circuitry

Drain car batteries, blow a fuse in the studio

Underground sewer flow, super duper sucio

Super Soakers, Fresh Prince and Super Mario

Illmatic, Nasty Nas in an army coat

Girls gone wild, showing titties on party boats

Mike Tyson body blows, peace, adios

Nobody's safe when all the jewelry is visible

And Olivia Newton John's on, Let's Get Physical

Stevie B's Spring Love bumping out the speaker box

Grew up with them Puerto Ricans used to rob sneaker spots

Green olives and arroz con pollo

Only white boy out in the hood, Han Solo

Got clips fully loaded, always keep about three

On some real Supreme shit, Come See About Me

And I've been waiting for this moment like all of my life

Ride around with Def Leppard tapes all through the night

It's all for the mic, it's all for the fame

Local dudes tryna get some pussy off of my name

Like we used to go to Cumby's, we used to break apart a Philly

And everybody know that Tony's is the heart of Willie

My aunt Pam lived above it all throughout the eighties

Me and Stacy drove my aunt Sandy fuckin' crazy

Uncle Jeff played me rap while my mom worked

All that shit made me the dopest rapper on Earth

On the search for perfection, I'm flexin' like a Jedi

Brain lifts up trains to bench press a semi

Except I stay dressed black as Vader

Always pack the laser to push back a hater

It's a fact I majored, the maker of body piles

I chuck to the crocodiles 'cause Hell is my domicile

We took the dead D batteries out the box

And chucked 'em like they was rocks at the neighborhood cops

Stevie B's Spring Love bumping out the speaker box

Grew up with them Puerto Ricans used to rob sneaker spots

Green olives and arroz con pollo

Only white boy out in the hood, Han Solo
