Locally Grown Lyrics by Stephen the Levite, DJ Official
Still Hungry
2020
[Intro] Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough [Verse 1] Mexican food is better in Mexico San Diego's exceptional so I bet it's close Cheesesteaks I don't mess with unless I'm next to home If you're not in Philly it probably should be left alone It's detestable everywhere I go They're still getting sold from Ecuador to the Eskimos The spread is global I guess that I should expect it though When the rep is dope then hella folk will accept the clone They call these carbon copies a compliment I will not contend with that but the fact is I'm not convinced I can sense non-original factors, incompetence Plots to get plenty bags of the cash off the hottest trends What competition is lacking in common sense Their matching in confidence brag in accomplishments like status and knocking timbs, the stacks, and the costly whips The masses who follow them but their talent ain't on the list [Chorus] If you want that original you know where to go (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) There's many exceptions bro, but in general (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) I left the West Coast to get close to (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) Give props to the Bronx and all the boroughs (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) [Verse 2] Cali, what if avocados said, "Vamanos, gotta go, we heard that the Bahamas' more tropical" Temecula didn't have wine and hot balloons Vines did not approve of the climate, decided not to grow Or the oranges down in Florida Said they're bored with us and they wanted to know where Europe was What if corn was done and on the run said they wanted sons but not genetically distorted ones What if New York had another sound/ they went underground, all the radio plays is southern now What if Compton was never on the map 'Cause that kind of rap went to Harlem, and never got the traction If Detroit never had Eminem or Dilla then Who'd be the 2 goats, that'd be filling in Some wouldn't even remember when A region had distinction, a steez you could only get from them [Chorus] If you want that original you know where to go (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) There's many exceptions bro, but in general (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) I left the West Coast to get close to (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) Give props to the Bronx and all the boroughs (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) [Verse 3] Look, I'm not saying Hip Hop should not evolve Stay inside mold, 'til your style is local like the guys before I just know, living in Brooklyn would have been not as dope If murals of Hip Hop's honor roll wasn't on the walls The sound of New York would draw me close Made me want to go just to watch a show and shop for clothes On my coast, gangsta rappers were popping and I opposed I appreciated the funk later, but wanted soul Jazz samples and better rhymes than most So when i finally wrote some lines i would want it to sound like those But Hieros and The Pharcyde were anomalies That got me thinking maybe NY ain't got a monopoly They weren't trying to be anybody East Over time I'd see how their style's distinct, with common seeds Hybrids via migrants that what I'm is But I blend rhymes with the Gods who was killed for my sin In a new body He'd fly home Now He's omnipresent but also present at God's throne His reign is stretched wide but not straining He's invading every kind of culture and language He don't Colonize when He saves them He gave us all the eyes to see laws applying, no changing If you compromise, we don't call it God's incarnation 'Cause no culture's divine but one holds the gospel for nations [Chorus] If you want that original you know where to go (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) The Jews weren't exceptional but a vessel chosen (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) When there are told truths men quote Jews (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough) Props to the God of Hebrews for these Truths (Some brothers from the East with them beats that be thorough)
