From the recording Humble Beginnings
Lyrics
Hoodies & Sneakers
Turn the speakers up, Hoodies and sneaker stuff. For those that had it rough and those that had enough.
This for the people from the bottom slowly coming up. Those from the ghetto never settle always blowing up.
Hook:
Can you hear now, are you listening, am I being clear, I now my history.
When you think of success what comes to mind, I grew up with the roaches and rats and porcupine.
I do it for my dorks and slime I’m on my grind I’m inclined to be all I can we be improved with time.
Bro it’s 2020 my pockets skinny henny in me but remaining friendly. These critics hating but my flow is like a brand new Bentley.
And now I’m cruising past elusions; sidepiece is Susan; turn on the news and see how Jermz is here to cause confusion.
My people often losing, but we commit winning; so there’s a conflict of interest this the new beginnings.
Pardon my comprehension, but I am smarter than the average rapper must I mention.
I’m here to ease the tension. I body tracks I’ll serve the murder sentence. Don’t got no felonies I’m hella G.
Cruz like Penelope to cheddar, bread, and celery I’m hungry as I’ll ever be; my flow is sharp I will sever thee.
Every verse is deadly like a coffin or hearse, I’m from the bottom situation was worse.
I remember me and momma couldn’t wait till the first; I was raised off of the ramen ate my noodles in spurts.
I’m from the dirt where dap you up for putting in work. Don’t be a jerk watch your mouth before you step on my turf.
Raised in southern Cali with the roosters and smurfs; where the gangsters gone bang and the surfers gone surf.
I do my thang because I’m built a little different than most; I’m from the coast where the breadwinners burning their toast.
this for the folks not afraid to challenge the goats, aim for their throats, slice em and expect them to choke.
Forever dope, regardless what these critics just wrote; ain’t losing hope although these racist people are jokes.
I’m here for peace, but trust me I’ve done mastered the beef; I’m from the streets, I’m educated bringing the heat, remember me J-E-R-M
