PDX Tunes Lyrics

I remember touching down in Portland

With appointment to see my man, Croz

Man, my sister put the shit in motion

Had a couple journals; in it everything I'd been through

See around that time my Mama jumped the ship

I was living in Motel rooms

Had a bald fade with a hoop dream

When I saw that mic I swear my life changed

After Croz cut our first record, man, we cut across into the corner store

And he told me Man, You Could Have Affect Just Like Joey Did

He ain't know it then but that's all I used to listen to

It was me against the world and he gave me something I could pour into

And for that I promise to myself for him: I'd keep on going till the world opened up to us

I remember touching down in Portland

With appointment to see my man, Croz

Man, my sister put the shit in motion

Had a couple journals; in it everything I'd been through

Used to walk like five to seven blocks to him

I was seventeen with a dream and a lot of pain in me

In a world where it felt like nothing came to me

After five tracks on the flight back I felt the discontent

I had to give it more of me

Hoop dreams took the backseat

People 'round me at the time, they ain't really understand that

Nowadays I know it more clear

I sacrifice how y'all see me 'cause it feel more real here

And ya know that's real, man

When I'm on the mic, I feel as if I'm in my real form

I remember touching down in Portland

With appointment to see my man, Croz

Man, my sister put the shit in motion

Had a couple journals; in it everything I'd been through

See around that time my Mama jumped the ship

I was living in Motel rooms

Had a bald fade with a hoop dream

When I saw that mic I swear my life changed

And he never charged me for it 'cause he saw it in me

When I make it, know he coming with me

When the plane landed, I could hear the fate in the wheels turning

In the birds humming

This ain't something you can run from it

I can still see it, man

The pen writing and the weed burning

From the PM to the wee morning
