Made in Maryland - Substantial, DJ Jav, Steph, The Sapphic Songstress

HOOK

(Made in Maryland) Don’t get it twisted, dog

I still put the M between the DV

(Made in Maryland) I’ma represent for yall

Regardless where the path I’m on lead me

(Made in Maryland) Pops was from Baltimore

But his only son was born in P. G

(Made in Maryland)

The home of Tubman and Douglas

Name a rapper better from MD that does this

Spare time.

Murk’em low key with a spare rhyme

Old lines shit I came up with in ‘09

No lyin'!

Back in Suitland in the nineties

In someone else’s hood baggin rappers you’d find me

Whippin' ass taking names ‘fore this rap shit was cool

I was either chasing dreams or chasing ass after school

Ditched class, wings and Mambo Sauce during high times

Cookin' beats in Ace old crib playing ‘95

Live from the home of Martin and Sugar Ray

I’ma shine for every unknown that took a stray

HOOK

(…in Maryland) Don’t get it twisted, dog

I still put the M between the DV

(Made in Maryland) I’ma represent for yall

Regardless where the path I’m on lead me

(Made in Maryland) Pops was from Baltimore

But his only son was born…

(…in Maryland)

PG specifically

County might be rich but we all struggled mentally

Trying to see thru imagery placed here to limit me

Killin' me, black and brown youngins on a killing spree

The way I dodged bullets you’d thought had Trinity

And Zion’s best fighters all guarding my divinity

Had a rack of brothers only one that was kin to me

Saved my life when they gave the mic and the pen to me

But I’m from the same damn state as Freddy Gray

Different city but our death could be one ride away

In the home of Frank Miller and dark nights…

Thought it was, nah you thought right, I’m from…

HOOK

Maryland

Don’t get it twisted, dog

I still put the M between the DV

(Made in Maryland) I’ma represent for yall

Regardless where the path I’m on lead me

But his only son was born in P. G

(Made in Maryland)

Only Prince we claim sang Purple Rain

Prince George was lame, F him and name

I’m a PG King, It’s a PG thing!

This for Gods’Illa, OG’s, See King

Joe D, Steph, Jav and my Baltimore team

That’s my man Jsoul and the young homie Green

Damn my friends are dope, yeah we really rap

Fans been losing hope I’ma bring it back

Stan has been dope since pitty pat

Kickball, jump rope and hide and go git it, black

Think I haggled Odd for weeks just to get track

To hand the God some weak shit picture that

Phelps with a felt tip, Olympian flow

Provide more dope lines than Bolivian coke

Durant on the bassline, Carmelo in the key of strife

Ripken and Ruth walking on the field of dreams but I’m

Woke in the land of Thurgood

His momma taught my poppa now I’m out here in your hood

Somewhere in Maryland!
