West Coast Kid
by TobyMac

Album: Renovating Diverse City

Yo I'm a West coast kid, livin' in Nashville
And I'm a East coast kid, livin' in Nashville
Yo I'm a West coast kid
And I'm a East coast kid
Yo I'm a West coast, East coast, West coast, East coast

Yo I'm a West coast kid, livin' in Nashville
Moved here in the summer when I got my record deal
Plan to make a mil' but I've only sold a thousand
So I relocated to low, income housing
I'm all about singing the blues, take a walk in my shoes, you can see my point of view
Country folk on the back porch, pickin' banjos Grams and Gramps are bustin' a move with the dosey-doe's

~Chorus~
It's all hip-hop to m-e yeah
(It's all hip-hop to me, it's all hip-hop to me)
It's all hip-hop to m-e alright
(It's all hip-hop to me, it's all hip-hop to me)
It's all hip-hop to m-e yeah
(It's all hip-hop to me)
(I'ma grab my guitar)
(It's all hip-hop to me)
It's all hip-hop to m-e so tight
(It's all hip-hop to m-e, it's all hip-hop to me)

And I'ma grab my guitar
(And play you this song)
And all the people come on now and, (sing along)

West coast kid, living in Nashville
Moved here in the summer when I got my record deal
And I'm a East coast kid, livin' in Nashville
Moved here in the winter when I got my record deal
Started with some vinyl and a mic in D.C.
Suburban little punk with an urban degree
I'm all about makin' some noise, and givin' people a choice, long as I'm hearin' God's voice
All my folk on the back porch
Tru, me, and Moses, Mandy, Marley, ain't it sweet how it grows (how it grows, how it grows)

~Chorus~

My mother used to sing me rhymes (sing me rhymes)
When she put me to sleep (c'mon, c'mon)
I wonder if she realized, she was sowing seeds (sowing seeds) and now they're, growing growin'
Growing to the sky (to the sky)
And now I'm flowin' flowing (flowin') flowing on this m-ic
(What ya got, c'mon, what ya got, what ya got)
It's all hip-hop to m-e
It's all hip-hop to m-e
(What you want, what you want, what you want, what you want, what you need)

Yo I'm a West coast kid, livin' in Nashville
And I'm a East coast kid, livin' in Nashville
Moved here in the summer when I got my record deal
Moved here in the winter when I got my record deal

It's all hip-hop to m-e yeah
It's all hip-hop to m-e alright
It's all hip-hop to m-e yeah
(I'ma grab my guitar)
It's all hip-hop to m-e so tight
It's all hip-hop to m-e, (it's all hip-hop to me, it's all hip-hop to me)
~Chorus~

I'm a West coast kid, living in Nashville
(It's all hip-hop to me)
Moved here in the summer when I got my record deal
(It's all hip-hop to me)
(He's a)
East coast kid, living in Nashville
(It's all hip-hop to me)
Moved here in the winter when I got my record deal
(It's all hip-hop to me)
(4X)

East coast kid, living in Nashville
Moved here in the winter when I got my record deal
