[Verse 1]
I grew up in a 2 bedroom house
Down on Elm St
With my mama, my sister, brother
My auntie and uncle and my cousin
She had a kid or 3
See my daddy wasn't home
The man called
So my daddy had to join the war
Now my daddy gone
So the family on our own
Mamma said the prayers
Soldiers knocking at the door
And all my mama said was that

[Pre-Chorus]
Life ain't easy
It's a hard road
That we ride on
But we ride on
My choices
My voice built my home
My heart stones

[Chorus]
I was raised in the Wild, USA
I was raised in the Wild, USA
[Verse 2]
My whole city made of stone granite walls
And the sofa made of bricks shit
This where I was born
Had my granny on the phone
When my brother called
Just to tell me that he loved me
And to tell me that my boy was gone
So RIP to my n*ggas neff, I miss you dog
Eric, shit I miss you dog
Landon, shit I miss you dog wish ya was home
That was all in two months
Shit lost friends I grew up with
In the blink of an eye
Like pop, pop, pop

[Bridge]
Someday I'll be as free as the world itself
As I prepare to meet you at the pearly gates

[Chorus]
I was raised in the Wild, USA
I was raised in the Wild, USA
