[Intro] Yeah Big Kev, uh North Fort Myers Stand on it [Verse 1] Big Kev from the Fort, that’s a fact, not a phrase Came up where the ditch water snakes through the haze Concrete, palm trees, heat in the daylight Bag full of dreams and a scale by the brake light Cheap gas station cups, foam tops, late nights Mom praying for me while I ran through the brake lights Whole block know my granny little green-screen door If you knock, better talk what you came here for I was out by the plaza, red shirt, white forces OGs told me, “Pick a side, live with your choices” Turned pain into product, product into power Clock in, clock out, every minute, every hour [Chorus] Big Kev from the Fort, I’ma stand on that North Fort Myers on my back, I’ma brand on that From the Lee County mud to the land I’m at When I yell “North Fort Myers,” they gon’ chant on that Big Kev from the Fort, I’ma stand on that North Fort Myers on my back, I’ma brand on that Whole city in my chest when the bassline slap When I yell “North Fort Myers,” they gon’ chant on that (Fort!) [Verse 2] Whole squad on the corner by the bar with the jukebox Sun go down, then the work hit the shoebox Seen boys lose it all, dice game in a carport Cops ride slow past the park where we talk war I ain’t here to glamorize, I just narrate Same streets taught me how to win off a bad day Auntie on the line say she proud that I leveled up Judge gave cuz five, now his son gotta step it up Now I’m back in the hood in some slides and a plain tee Kids yelling “Big Kev,” trying to aim where they can’t reach Told ‘em, “North Fort Myers in your blood, that’s gold” Don’t fold, let the world know exactly where you from [Chorus]
