[Intro]

Yeah, ayy

Hey

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Am I changin' right before your eyes? Huh?

Becomin' someone you don't recognize

As if I was disguised

I'm on that shit as if I was the flies

I'm touchin' skies, no puffin' lye

Man, these songs that I made in my bedroom and shit

Gon' finally get a nigga leg room in the whip

From a Civic to a 7, must've died and went to heaven

Like a passenger on 9/11, please go find a reverend

You see, I promised that I'd never change

But that was way before I made the dough and met the game, say hello

To miss thang, I forgot your name, she yellow

And even white women want a nigga, Othello

I'm ballin' with nuggets like fuck it, I'm Carmelo

Now the crib got much rooms, portobello

She drop it low and then she bust moves for the fellow

I sit your ass down like you was playin' a cello

See, you niggas hated and I levitated further

Knew I would kill the game, premeditated murder

So if it come down to may the best man win

No sweat like a headband then, nigga

[Chorus]

Hey, where I'm from

If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey

You'd know it can't get no better for me

Know it can't get no better for me

Where I'm from

If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey

You'd know it can't get no better for me

Know it can't get no better for me

[Verse 2]

Hah, yeah

I'ma kill the game and invite witnesses

No death penalty, I'm giving life sentences

Like keep grindin', boy, your life can change in one year

And even when it's dark out, the sun is shinin' somewhere

Yeah, look here, I paid dues

My own worst enemy, so fuck it, either way, I can't lose

808s so my South niggas feel me

Lightskinned, so the house niggas feel me

She catch me creepin' out your house, she'll kill me

Is it worth it for what's under that blouse?

My heart'll turn pitch black and cold if I split with my girl

If I could gift wrap the globe, I'll give you the world

But do you love me like you used to?

Even though I ain't that nigga that you're used to, yeah

Remember back when I was broke, you would fix me

Do you prefer the broke me or the rich me?

The broke me couldn't buy you meals, not even a value meal

Now I pay for everything, how you feel?

Mixed feelings 'cause now all the chicks feelin' him

You gotta adapt, though, I'm never goin' back

[Chorus]

Hey, where I'm from

If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey

You'd know it can't get no better for me

Know it can't get no better for me

Where I'm from

If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey

You'd know it can't get no better for me

Know it can't get no better for me

[Outro]

Uh, I can't keep runnin' away

I can't keep runnin' away, uh

I swear I'm comin' back one day

Hey

What if I'm wrong?

And I ain't got what it takes? Uh, man

Then all them people that was countin' on me

Boy, won't you climb down the mountain for me? Hey

Ayy, ayy, alright
