INTRO

VERSE 1
yo i'm a west coast kid livin in nashville
moved here in the summer when i got my record deal
plan to make a mill but i've only sold a thousand
so i relocated to low income housing
i'm all about singing the blues take a walk in my shoes
you can see my point of view
country folk on the back porch pickin banjos
grams and gramps are bustin a move with the dosey doe's
CHORUS
it's all hip-hop to me yea (it's all hip hop to me it's all hip-hop to me)
it's all hip-hop to me alright (it's all hip-hop to me it's all hip-hop to me)
it's all hip-hop to me i'm a grab my guitar( it's all hip hop to me it's all hip-hop to me)
it's all hip-hop to me so tight (it's all hip hop to me it's all hip-hop to me)
