Where I’m From Lyrics by King Von
(DJ on the beat, so it’s a banger)
I grew up with all my n***** (All my n*****), in them buildings
Low income, roaches on ceilings (Roaches on ceilings), man, y’all don’t get it
But I had a dollar, we was at the store (We was at the store), folks gettin’ fifty
We was so close when we was dead broke, now I got a million, n****, I’ma split it
They say, “Von, why you trippin’?” N****, watch out, mind your business
I done lost n*****, all I got is pictures, I don’t give no fuck, I don’t got no feelings
I was seventeen locked up in the cell, got word they just killed O
I was confused, O was the G.O.A.T, how they killed him and he stay with his pole?
Now I’m just doin’ my time, can’t get bro out my mind, I’m goin’ crazy
I called Sheroid one time ’cause I saw the news and somebody ain’t make it
Can’t be us, they mistaken, I asked folks, his voice shakin’
He switched the subject, tried to change it
But I’m not slow, you can’t game me
I’m like, “Who?”, he like, “N****, what?”
I’m like, “Who got shot?”, he like, “Fuck”
I’m like, “N****, what?”, he said that’s our boy J.R
My heart stopped and I’m confused ’cause J.R, he a leader
How the fuck you gon’ die on us, n****? O just died, we need you
Now I’m on the overtired on the deck with n***** I don’t even know
And n****, I over cried, I can’t lie, I’m a gangster but that shit hurt
J Money was in there with me too, we was sick but we ain’t had a flu
We was jammed up, ain’t shit we could do
Didn’t beat his case, J Money actin’ a fool
Now I’m in boot camp by now, I’m comin’ home at the right time
Sosa goin’ crazy, got the city on lock now
O’Block, bitch, we hot now
I get out on house arrest, first n**** I call was Duke
He said, “Shit, what you on?”, I said, “Shit, bitch, what’s new?”
He said, “Shit, n****, it’s you”
