## Intro
*[Beat drops]*
Yeah... fuck what they talking about...
H-Town to Cali, back where I belong
Let's get this shit straight...
## Verse 1
Seven years deep in them Texas trenches, Houston heat
Had me whipped, committed, for that chick I couldn't see defeat
Adopted her seeds as my own, that's on me, no receipt
Grinding through them Channel nights, barely catching sleep
Motel 6 living, roaches crawling, walls paper-thin
Changed my whole damn style, lost myself within
System rolled through, badges flashing, took the kids away
While she chasing dragons down I-45, going astray
My own blood came into this fucked-up situation
But she chose that white line over family dedication
Everything crashed harder than them slabs on Westheimer
Seven years wasted, Texas took me, made me blinder
## Hook
All my exes stuck in Texas
H-Town drama in my rearview
Cali called a real one home
Got me focused on what's true
Sometimes you gotta lose your shit
To remember who the fuck you are
Left that pain back in Texas
Now I'm balling, shooting stars
## Verse 2
Back in Cali, day one homies shocked at what they see
"Damn, you looking like a skeleton," they straight checking me
Mirror don't lie, bones poking through my skin
Looking like a zombie, Houston had me faded, worn thin
Took that reality check, flipped it to a money move
No more simping for a bitch who got nothing to prove
Golden State got the code—self-love or you fucked
Can't flex for nobody when your own tank is sucked
Found my appetite again, started gaining weight
Mind clearing up, bad thoughts dissipate
Funny how your set reminds you who you really are
When the smoke clears and you see you've fallen way too far
## Hook
All my exes stuck in Texas
H-Town drama in my rearview
Cali called a real one home
Got me focused on what's true
Sometimes you gotta lose your shit
To remember who the fuck you are
Left that pain back in Texas
Now I'm balling, shooting stars
## Verse 3
Not a victim but a savage with a story to spit
Walked through hell in them Houston streets, came back legit
Them kids still in my heart though CPS took 'em away
Hope they dodge them same bullets on their path someday
Meanwhile I'm rebuilding, brick by brick, no cap
Reclaiming my identity, putting Houston on the map
Scale tipping higher means my spirit rising too
Surrounded by real ones who always knew the true you
Texas taught lessons I couldn't learn any other place
Sometimes you gotta leave the block to appreciate your base
California sunshine hitting different on my skin
When you've been through dark shit and finally let light in
## Hook
All my exes stuck in Texas
H-Town drama in my rearview
Cali called a real one home
Got me focused on what's true
Sometimes you gotta lose your shit
To remember who the fuck you are
Left that pain back in Texas
Now I'm balling, shooting stars
## Outro
Yeah... standing taller every motherfucking day
West Coast made me, H-Town changed me
But Cali saved me
That's real talk... fuck Texa
