I (nor my pappy or grand pappy) may have been born here, but I got here as fast as I could!!!
What does this sentence mean? I took out the parenthetical phrase, just to see if I could figure it out grammatically, and I got "I may have been born here, but I got here as fast as I could."
But then, I'm just a Texas gal, and we're sorta slow on the uptake occasionally.

Sorry, I squeezed two thoughts into one sentence.
The locals (Charleston, SC) do not consider you to be 'from around here' unless you, your father AND your grandfather were born here.
My favorite response to the inevitable 'where you from?' question is 'I may be from around here, but I got here as fast as I could.'
Good for a shared chuckle and helps diffuse the northern/southern issue.
