Surroundings Lyrics by Small Cap

2022

[Chorus]
Take a look around
Find out what you're about
See the influence
By everything profound
Said I keep it real
If they don't they're clowns (yeah)
Cause that's how I was brought up
From my surroundings
Surroundings
Surroundings
Taught me how to keep it ten toes down and
Got a chip on my shoulder
Won't let my family down and
Gotta pay back what I earned from my surroundings

[Verse 1]
First gen American (yeah)
At least that's what the narrative (yeah)
Fam made it off the boat and out the mud
But we knew how that was imperative (imperative)
That got me where I'm supposed to be
It made me, me
Got me thinking of everything small cap could be
Got me friends
That helped the development
Of the thoughts that shaped me
Such amazement
Being human means (means)
We embrace it (yeah)
Life's a puzzle and you're the missing piece (the missing piece)
But the surroundings set the shape of the impact you're going to leave
Fuck a heart I'd wear my surroundings on my sleeve
The world is blind, but I'ma help them see
Some people that affected me (yeah)
Some people that affected me
Tupac, Andre, Em, Jay, MJ, Kobe
Okay
You get the point (go)
Coherent thoughts
But they're coming out disjoint
Cranking up the watts
The track I will anoint
You are what is around and that's a flip of the coin
Better surround yourself with someone who'll help you leave a legacy when you're gone
So I'm gone (I'm gone, I'm gone)

[Chorus]
Take a look around
Find out what you're about
See the influence
By everything profound
Said I keep it real
If they don't they're clowns (yeah)
Cause that's how I was brought up
From my surroundings (hey)
Surroundings (hey)
Surroundings
Taught me how to keep it ten toes down and
Got a chip on my shoulder
Won't let my family down and
Gotta pay back what I earned from my surroundings

[Verse 2]
Grew up around a community full of family (full of family)
Suburban, safe neighborhood
I grew up lavishly
Close to LA
But far from casualty
Starving artist
That's where my heart is
Cause for this music shit
I'm hungry (hungry)
From my head all the way down to my dungarees (dungarees)
I'm transparent
So the world you could see from both sides
I spit the truth
That's what separates me and bitches like you
God blessed me with skills
So I get on a beat and I-I-I chew
But let me not forget my crew
Thanks to all of you
I got the pleasure of doing all that I do
I stay true
I'm in a queue for a great debut
I tattoo
An impression in the minds of all the people who
I come across
Let me get on my boss
Went from tap to the Voss
People are at a loss
For words
And that's absurd
A young boy from the valley
Who fucked up many a turns
Found my path (found my path)
Hit the gas and I swerve
Found my way (found my way)
My surrounding impacted the reflection of the man in the mirror today (mirror today)
And I changed

[Monologue]
You know
It's kinda crazy
How long it takes for us to realize
The way we move
The way we talk
The way we act
Is all a result of the environment we come from
Your social circle
Your family
Your surroundings

[Chorus]
Take a look around
Find out what you're about
See the influence
By everything profound
Said I keep it real
If they don't they're clowns (yeah)
Cause that's how I was brought up
From my surroundings (hey)
Surroundings (hey)
Surroundings
