I know I must be outta town 'cause uh... (where I come from)
Can't pull out no strap and don't bust (where I come from)
Hatas bust a rap and don't cuss (where I come from)
Gots ta understand the game code (where I come from)

Ain't no justice or no peace (where I come from)
Niggas won't be trustin police (where I come from)
People keep they mouth shut it simple ("where you from fool?")

I'm from the same place you from ain't no if and's or but's

Knock knock (whos there?) don't stop (oo yea nigga what)?
Shake dat thang (turn it up) make it bang (where I come from)

Hoes don't fuck with no broke niggas (where I come from)
Niggas don't fuck with no gold diggas (where I come from)

No fuckas don't be dressin like dat (where I come from)
You imput if you pay you can touch (where I come from)

'Cause hookas doin way too much (where I come from)

Youu know I got dat weed sac (where I come from)
The courts won't let you go with 3 strikes (where I come from)

The Source won't give you mo' than 3 mics (where I come from)
No doubt we keep the shit hot with dirt (where I come from)
It's about the cheapest spot to get you're work (where I come from)
Betta learn ridges and burn nitches (where I come from)

Niggas earn riches and turn snitches (where I come from)
Gotta avoid the drama and the trap (where I come from)
Everybody in they mama tryin' to rap

I'm from the same place you from ain't no if and's or but's
("where you from fool?") from my mama's womb and my daddy nuts
Knock knock (whos there?) don't stop (oo yea nigga what)?
Shake dat thang (turn it up) make it bang (where I come from)

Jackers like to follow niggas home (where I come from)

Gotta have scrill just to get respected (where I come from)
Keepin it real make girls want to get butt naked (where I come from)

Niggas don't get dressd up to goto no club (where I come from)
Them niggas still be all up in dat beachstyle dub (where I come from)
I gotta tell females how's it gon' be (where I come from)
Not trickin on hoes why they all out here trickin on me (where I come from)

We got to find the girls in best weather (where I come from)
We'd rule the world if we ever got together (where I come from)
If you black or brown use yo pride (where I come from)
My homeboyz luv to clown and lowride (where I come from)

If we goto the mountains, desert or the beach (where I come from)
Anything a nigga want its within reach (where I come from)
It can get scan'lous so I haveta warn ya (where you from)
Do it matter nigga Watts California (westside)

I'm from the same place you from ain't no if and's or but's
("where you from fool?") from my mama's womb and my daddy nuts
Knock knock (whos there?) don't stop (oo yea nigga what?)
Shake dat thang (turn it up) make it bang (where I come from)
