Virginia High School
I was born and raised
Boys and Girls Club
We was hooping everyday
I can't let my people down
Tryna' put on my town
Dreams don't come without resistance
So I'm looking up to higher visions
All they ever said was we would be what they said
You said differently
And all they ever said was we would be just like them
You said differently
Gotta keep me eyes on You
Virginia Boy Keep my Roots
Keep my eyes on you
Can't believe we made it this far
18 record deal no car
They all saying that I'm lucky too receive it
When I'm looking at my scars I kind of see it
My family got my back
I hope I pay 'em back
Don't wanna mess it up can I tell the truth
We can't get a house cause
I'm always in the booth
All they ever said was we would be what they said
You said differently
And all they ever said was we would be just like them
You said differently
Gotta keep me eyes on You
Virginia Boy Keep my Roots
Keep my eyes on you
