Scarborough

Back before my name was Kofi
Ain't nobody know me
I was on the block with my niggas all day
Man my life was like a story
Running from the police
I was making wops in the mowat hallways
Pops got knocked for moving stoleys
Left my momma lonely
But he made me who I am and nah that nigga don't play
I run it up with my homies
I don't need no Trophy's
I ain't proud of who I am but Scarborough made me that way

When you coming out the hood they wanna see a nigga fail
Police locked my cousins up I wrote this song to make his bail
Moving Brittany with my homies scared as fuck I'm looking pale
I know it's hot but cut the AC I got product on the scale

When I look back on my younger days it starts to seem surreal
Remember police pulled me over I'm like Jesus take the wheel
Seen too much violence as a kid my nigga I'm still trynna heal
I was dancing with the devil man he tried to make a deal

Back before my name was Kofi
Ain't nobody know me
I was on the block with my niggas all day
Man my life was like a story
Running from the police
I was making wops in the mowat hallways
Pops got knocked for moving stoleys
Left my momma lonely
But he made me who I am and nah that nigga don't play
I run it up with my homies
I don't need no Trophy's
I ain't proud of who I am but Scarborough made me that way

Nah I ain't proud of it but shit I guess that's who I am
I'm In the Stu like every night I owe that to my fans
I don't really need the fame, do this for the bands huh
Type of money I could turn your shordy to a dancer

Mom I know that when you call me I ain't never answer
Better off I'm in the studio then with the gangsters
Everything a nigga do, I do it for my mans huh
Cause I know they gone ride till the wheels fall off

But id be happy being nameless
I never wanted to be famous
I walk with pride but that don't mean a nigga Shameless
I smile but that don't mean my life's been painless

Back before my name was Kofi
