[Verse 1]
34th and Sherwood, learned it young
Paper on my mind, had to move that tongue
Little kid with a big old plan
Too much weight for a boy my age
Hands stayed busy, pockets stayed thin
Street was a school, I was late to win
Seen the ones fold, seen the ones pray
I was just trying to make my way
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold on me, but it came with scars
Every night felt heavy, every day felt hard
I was out there chasing, I was out there low
Now they see the shine, but they don't know
[Chorus]
34th and Sherwood
That's where I came up
34th and Sherwood
Never let me slow up
Gold on me, gold on me
Know I had to earn it
34th and Sherwood
That's where I burned it
[Verse 2]
Pulled up on glass, eighty-fours roll slow
Chrome on the side and the bass hit low
I was in the mix with a look too cold
Trying to turn pain into something gold
Mama kept calling, I was hard to reach
Young and reckless, life on the street
Every wrong step left a mark on me
Still I kept moving, couldn't let it beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold on me, but it came with scars
Every night felt heavy, every day felt hard
I was out there chasing, I was out there low
Now they see the shine, but they don't know
[Chorus]
34th and Sherwood
That's where I came up
34th and Sherwood
Never let me slow up
Gold on me, gold on me
Know I had to earn it
34th and Sherwood
That's where I burned it
[Bridge]
Yeah, I seen the bottom
Yeah, I seen the roof
Same block taught me hunger
Same block taught me proof
If I speak my truth
It's rough, but it's real
From 34th and Sherwood
Still got that steel
[Chorus]
34th and Sherwood
That's where I came up
34th and Sherwood
Never let me slow up
Gold on me, gold on me
Know I had to earn it
34th and Sherwood
That's where I burned it
