Come From

Where'd you come from
Where did you come from
Where'd you come from, yeah
Come from, come from

A little man-to-be
Stranded on a makeshift canopy
Index on the radio
Waiting on a fantasy
Circle with a red fill
Underneath my hand to be
Pressed it when a rap tune rang into reality
I saw the duality
People acting childishly
Blurred the lines of character and storyteller stylishly
Mom and dads were not the biggest fans so naturally I would sneak
Cassettes of artists I would seek into my pillowcase and sleep
That kind of contraband must've made me creative
It made me guilty of loving the innovative
If they'd have found em they'd probably play the plaintiff
But I was determined greater than their detection could favor
I never wanted their narrative for my own
No care to give for the colors they wear or sign that's thrown
The marriage I opted into was not what I would condone
But rather pictures they painted made me want to paint my own

Where'd you come from
Where did you come from
Where'd you come from, yeah
Come from, come from
Where'd you come from
Where did you come from
Where'd you come from, yeah
Come from, come from

Where does the inspiration come from
When I'm in the studio until the sun comes
Got me thinking back to when I was a young one
Lying to Moms thinking that she was the dumb one
I told her that parental advisory didn't matter
And rappers didn't cuss, it was more for the matters
And the themes and the images that they project
It took a lot of work to get her not to object
But deep down I knew
She wouldn't really approve
Because of the way she raised me to have values
I put nothin on a record that I wouldn't say on record
I take pride in my content as well as my effort
Music is like a window to the soul
And integrity through the pain is the goal
So I'm goin all in I won't fold
Cuz that's the only way my story will be told
For real

Where'd you come from
Where did you come from
Where'd you come from, yeah
Come from, come from
Where'd you come from
Where did you come from
Where'd you come from, yeah
Come from, come from
Where'd you come from
Where did you come from
Where'd you come from, yeah
Come from, come from
Where'd you come from
Where did you come from
Where'd you come from, yeah
Come from, come from
