Hometown

Welcome to my hometown
 Rockaway that's my locale
 Let me give ya'll the lowdown
 Every night last call there's a showdown
 So you gotta stay smart
 No it's not for the faint heart
 Raise your glass to the folks that have passed on
 Rest in peace J Mart
 In your memory I'm rockin
 Yeah you're gone but you'll never be forgotten
 Save a spot for your boy up in heaven
 Let me tell you where I come from
 Ain't no fakers where I come from
 That's why you don't come from where I come from
 Let me tell you where I come from
 Ain't no strangers where I come from
 That's why you not welcomed where I come from
 Welcome to the boardwalk
 We all brothers but we all fought
 On the summertime ball courts
 Flip flops, tank tops and some ball shorts
 We show love when it calls for it
 Like the troops overseas and soldiers at war for us
 I'm praying that you come back
 Know I got a blunt ready when you unpack (Hah)
 Real talk, hope you get home safe
 First round's on me when you hit homebase (Yeah)
 I'll be with you till the last drop
 Just take the A train to the last stop
 Let me tell you where I come from
 Ain't no fakers where I come from
 That's why you don't come from where I come from
 Let me tell you where I come from
 Ain't no strangers where I come from
 That's why you not welcomed where I come from
 And it feels like only yesterday that the ocean met the bay
 Houses burned down, homes were swept away
 People lost businesses
 I can't stomach looking at the images
 Bitch Sandy stole our innocence
 Had us moving like immigrants
 Trust we the type of citizens you never wanna bid against
 Especially when there's a wall that we're pinned against
 We'll be in it till the bitter end
 Get it in from the first day of summer till the winter end
 Go to sleep, wake up and do the shit again
 One love, boy I gotta say peace
 Signing off, Bobby J, I'm from Rockaway Beach
 Let me tell you where I come from
 Ain't no fakers where I come from
 That's why you don't come from where I come from
 Let me tell you where I come from
 Ain't no strangers where I come from
 That's why you not welcomed where I come from
