1st Gen Lyrics by Nathan Nzanga

Welcome to Naytropolis!!!

2017

Verse
My mama named me Nathan
Her daddy's name was Nathan
She had bout 4, 5, 6 diffrent siblings who all seemed to have the same thinkin
“daddy was a great man, who knows, one day maybe you can”
Living up or giving up? Dont really know where I stand
Don't really know where I stand
But I know the man is who I am destined to be
Mama don't fuck with my plans however the man is who I am guessing I'll be
Guessing I'll be? Bitch I'll definitely be the greatest MC you will ever see
Ever see go head check for me
Check for me this be me specialty
I got them melanin meloney melancholy melodies
Spit the truth when I'm in the booth, make the people jell with me
Only realness is what I be selling B
I'm the realest with no felonies
Be a realist what they telling me
You won't make it, guess we'll get to see
Hook (2x)
Don't really know who I am but I know the man is who I am destined to be
Dont really know where I stand but I know the man is who I am destined to be
Don't really know bout my plans but I know the man is who I definitely be
Destined to be bitch it's destined to be
Destined to be bitch it's definitely
Verse 2
-Nathan where you from?
-Seattle!
-Nah man, like where you froooom…?
-Yeah Seattle!
-Nah like what are you?
-American?
-Nah like…
-Congolese
-Ooooh so you speak African
American, I knew dah boy was lying
Tell me bout the time you rode a lion
Tell me how it is to live in huts
One time I went camping, it was tough
Oh okay I got it
I ain't white so I'm exotic
You ain't tribe but you a native? Hmm…
I'm alright but you the greatest? Hmmm...
When I tell that I'm Congolese
They convinced that I'm a refugee
Nah Papa Nzanga came here college
Imma need you all to quit testing me
Carolina in the 80s… Aye
Then went back and found a lady… Aye
Brought her back and had some babies… Aye
Now you ended with Natey… Aye
I’m a Crestside baby from the Seatown Shores
My roots motherland but I’m town from the core
Town from the core bitch I'm down when it pours
Sounds of the shore praise the Lord hear it roar
Town for sure I'm down for sure
Bars galore they down for more
Bars galore they feel the jams
Hear the roars I’ve been the man
Don't really know who I am but I know the man is who I am destined to be
Don’t really know where I stand but I know the man is who I am destined to be
Don't really know bout my plans but I know the man is who I definitely be
Definitely be bitch it's destined to be
Destined to be bitch it's definitely
1st generation Nathan, tryna get his ass in conversation
1st generation Nathan tryna get his ass in the equation
1st generation, yeah yeah
