[Hook: Adele]
'round my hometown
Memories are fresh
'round my hometown
Ooh, the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
[Verse 1: Chop]
In my hometown, blocks real, young shottas pop steel
Hop rails, just to get away, fuck how a cop feel
Watching over boiling pots, spot getting hot, still
Learning how them shots feel, Redzone rock here
The impossible, Portsmouth, I got you too
You'll never catch me hurting up in Murderview Hospital
Hometown, hold it down, carry it to Harbour View
Fitted and a scarf on, the tourist crowd coming through
On the strip, passing hoods, Shmack jeans, VA goods
Car full of backwoods, yelling, “free my nigga Smug”
Been here, so what, since Princess Anne burned up
Jersey boy, but VA was mostly where my home was
You know us, when we coming like we stole something
We on the east coast though, but yet we so southern
Timbaland, Star Trak, my hometown getting that
Took Peddlers down, needa bring it back, where we at?
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Chop]
In my hometown, sirens flaring, little kids stay staring
Walking everywhere careless, like they had no parents
Bennets Creek cook out, hot days, look out
Arizona's Brooklyn Style, rob BP's for good amounts
Waterside, get it popping, chilling up at MacArthur
Or in LynnHaven Mall, Chesapeake Square's garbage
Shot at, barely made it, welling hard, nothing grazed 'em
Peppermint backed up, lines get me so impatient
Walking to the bus stop, HRT fill the block
City cops, yelling "R.I.P" to my nigga Rock
7-11's everywhere, warehouse with every gear
264-East, in VA Beach every year
Afram festival, they needa free my nigga Vick
Bad news, Suffolk shit, Airline riding shit
Family, stay filling, Clipse or Pharrel Williams
Seven cities on the fitted, Chesapeake is in the building
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Chop]
For my dudes that ride for me, know Chop got ya back
Affiliate with A-List, put Chesapeake up on the map
Beach Girls, I'm hitting that, yo, fuck Western Branch
Resurrect the rap scene, for my dudes selling crack
Smoke strong, go hard for my fam that died
Never knew Tennessee but we spoke a few times
R.I., R.I.P. homie, move in silence but they know me
Everybody claim hard, I choose my whole circle closely
And I'm falling in love with these girls out here
And I'm falling in love with the world out here
I don't know too much about the world in whole
But I do know VA's my home, my own
Safe haven, mistaken for weak, face it
We keep shaking, the globe with every statement
VA made me, tougher and bitter
For everybody that I remember, let's get it
Loyal before anything else, what that means
Put Virginia on my back like mattress springs
Too many hate, positive by any means
And you know I'm going hard just to grasp my dream
