Where I'm From

That's Where I'm From X2 Back in the hood we used to drop mad L Contemplating hell The stories I could tell would Freak your mind And wreck your brain The thoughts I would have Would drive most insane Divine playin' Rain Gettin' Down wit' Jimi Hendrix, and Page Big up to Rage Back in to the Hood in Bilal's back yard Me and D was starvin' And times were hard Danny used to roll through Schemin' on the hustle Credit cards and slanging And MC bangin' Lethal used to come with his reel to reel We didn't have no deal But that wasn't the point, we'd... Rock a funky joint Then we'd rock another The only thing to eat Was some bread, and peanut butter So big up to all the females that fed me In case you ever wondered Did he forget me? These are the times that I always think of And this is dedicated to the ones I love [Chorus] That's where I'm from Where're you goin' if you don't look back What's the use of havin' ends If you lose all your friends X4 Paintin' on the wall Ten years gone by Playin' on the stereo With the volume kinda up Scheme Team's comin' Bring me along We gonna throw a hot party Till' the break of dawn With the Soul prophets of Soul Poetry Chameleon, Kalonjee , Divine and Cockni Bring a tab and a 40 and a bag of weed That's all I need G Cause I ain't Greedy Trippin' for days Runnin' the maze Goin' down to Venice Sippin' on the Guinness These are the times that I always think of And this is dedicated to the ones I love [Chorus] Now times have change And I'm on tour And I don't see my friend every day no more And cause they don't see me They think I've changed But I'm the same motherfucker no doubt What's it all about I thought we was people I'm tryin' to get mine I thought you had my back Man, I can't understand They used to slap my hand Ask me for a grand And run wit' your man Behind my back and diss me If you wanna fuck me First ya gotta kiss me [Chorus] X3
