Where I’m From

[Verse 1]

I bill it backwards in the park on my jack jones
This old guy sitting on the bench playing the saxophone
I found a discreet bush and hid my crack stones
Took the battery out, I think I've got a tapped phone
Man, I thank God my big brothers back home
You my blood, you my flesh, you my back bone
Brown paper bag round the bottle that the yac's on
No chase, straight to the face, I am that gone
But I'ma last don, my back's strong
I'm Mr. Miyagi and you just Dan-Son
Cah I just take your wax off, I put my wax on
And tell a lie, I think I've never made a wack song
Smooth criminal, I get my Jacks on
Still vanishing packs, I gets my trap on
I don't need to hop out the bed to turn my swag on
So every other day they say "Where you get that Youngs?!"

[Chorus]

But let me tell you where I'm from
Broad day they catch bodies with the lights on
You can make a couple bags before the night's done
Where I'm from, where I'm from
But let me tell you where I'm from
Broad day they catch bodies with the lights on
You can make a couple bags before the night's done
Where I'm from, where I'm from

[Verse 2]

It's been a few years I seen a lot of niggas dying
Like, God strike me down if I'm lying
Couple riders came through sparking their irons
Couldn't straighten out Youngs he gots the heart of a lion
You're talking kinda hard but you're lying
'Cos you ain't flipping no hard on your line
But me? I'm a grafter, I'm grinding
Any way, shape or form so I last through the times that I weren't
Rap money now, I turn my bars into dimes like
Pass me the mic, don't pass me the nine then
Write me a cheque yeah right on the line
'Cos you ain't never gonna see a shine brighter than mine
I go hard, any time, every time
Every verse, every book, every line, every rhyme
For every hood, every slum, every block, everyone
This is Tef, this is Youngs, I'ma rep til I'm gone!

[Chorus]

But let me tell you where I'm from
Broad day they catch bodies with the lights on
You can make a couple bags before the night's done
Where I'm from, where I'm from
But let me tell you where I'm from
Broad day they catch bodies with the lights on
You can make a couple bags before the night's done
Where I'm from, where I'm from
