good music - rocky rivera lyrics

[verse 1]
80’s baby with a 49er starter
a pack of now*and*laters listening to 40 water
yo, i was just a shorty on a mission just to fit in
paid attention to the language and the lyrics, learning english
(it was) an introduction to a culture i adore
since i came to san francisco at the tender age of four
i was learning all my lessons through the music
pardon if my tongue gets twisted, i’m splittin’ it
so then i sacrificed my native dialect to talkin’ local slang
h*lla bay from the beginning, i’m soaking up the game
from the culture i adopted when i had to leave my own and
survive another continent so far away from home
learned to pop the slang, kick it with the baddest
for better or for worse but oftentimes it’s problematic
yo, i can take a hint and play the back if i offend
only the utmost…when i bless the paper wit my pen

[chorus]
good music, bay music (4x)
(group clap)

[verse 2]
used to freestylin’ when i was in college
i could not control the words that’s comin’ out my mouth, and
it became a problem, but i couldn’t stop it
why you think i like to rap about specific topics?
never had control, my mouth was always on a roll
(that goes to show) i weaponize my words, yeah, it became so easy
i became a target and a little lost, so
i devised a plan to hit em back when they would tease me
so pardon me if my opinion is abrasive
authenticity is what i speak ‘cause i’m a native
but humble is, as humble does
and you ain’t humble, if you holier than thou
but you never had to struggle like the people you defending
the ones you organizing, the students in the lecture hall
stop infantilizing
meet me on my level, never turn your nose up on me
‘cause my story is my story, you can never tell it for me
[repeat chorus]
