Where I'm From

(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 f- I don't got no feelings
I was 17 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 of 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, "F-"
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 s- 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 s- 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, "S- what you on?", I said, "S- b- what's new?"
He said, "S- n- it's you
