[Intro]
Ooh Lord
Ooh ooh ooh...
Yeah
"Tell me weh you come from, Chronixx, woah woah woah"
I'm not from around here, eh...
Yeah
Where I come from...
Hey
Major Lazer, Major Lazer, Major Lazer
This is the remix, man
Zinc Fence
[Verse 1]
From I was a baby, wrapped up inna nappy
Me never ever like fi see mi mummy unhappy
So me go marry to the money under a canopy
'Cause me believe say every black man can happy
Because mummy love jewelry, daddy love things
Me and Teflon fi have house fi kill
Upon the hill grandma waan the house fi build
When mi say hill, me a talk 'bout close to Jill, woah...
And me no know 'bout Jack...
When it comes to money, mi say, me know 'bout that
And if a, JSE, mi say, me sure 'bout stocks
And if a, make it inna life, Chronixx sure bout that
Woii woii
[Chorus]
Where I come from everyone is happy
So me call Walshy and tell him fi say...
[Verse 2]
Gwan go tell Wall Street that I'm coming soon
Been dreaming 'bout money all afternoon
Because making money is always on my mind
Ooh Lord
Go down a West pon a piece of land...
And farm the highest, then that's the plan
Because making money is always on my mind
So, from you diss the motherland, that means you diss your Father
Woulda like fi build a house inna Addis Ababa
Drive 'round inna the whole of Africa and stretch mi hand to every ghetto youth, and say, "Nuh this you ask fah?"
Poverty, me curse it
Mi pocket weak until me haffi nurse it
So me ago hustle, try entrepreneurship
'Cause me haffi sweeten mi account like Hershey's
I said...
[Chorus]
Where I come from everyone is happy
But dem bring we beyond, down a Caribbean
And...
Take we to a place where everyone is crying
Crying! Woah woah
Where I...
Where I come from everyone is happy
Ooh Lord, ooh Lord
Walshy...
Where we come from everyone is smiling
But dem bring we to a place where people a bawl
Hey
Ooh Lord
Ooh ooh ooh Lord, ooh ooh ooh Lord
[Verse 3]
Walshy Fire bring me inna the studio and say, "Voice nuh, Chronixx"
So me lift up mi voice, understand it
People ask if me deh pon chronic
Dem fi know say a steam, we steam, and...
Nobody can separate we from it
A so we dweet and Babylon panic
When time dem see we, Babylon get upset and start vomit...
Eew!
[Chorus]
Where I come from full up of gunman, but everyone a laugh because the likkle youth dem have food inna dem lunch pan
But, Babylon come down, and dem bring the guns down, and the youth dem get shoot down
[Outro]
Hey!
A so we dweet everyday inna studio
Write and tweet everyday
People say, "Chronixx, couldn't so you stay"
Me tell dem, a so me born...
Hey
And dem say, "Youth, stop the noise"
But me nah stop the noise 'cause me love sing and raise up mi voice
And make the world hear
And every boy and every girl hear
Whether you're Indian with curled hair, or...
Ease!...
Hahaha
Sekkle!
Yeah
Chronixx...
