Where I’m From Songtext
von The Game feat. Nate Dogg

I′m a B-L-double-O-D
Been on songs with S-N-double-O-P
Inside a Ferrari with the D-R-E
Run up I let it sing like Nate D-O-double-G

Walk through eight Mile, G-Unit's on my feet
Got a cherry low rider in the NYC
Eve took me to Philly, never been to the pen
Been to Uptown with 50, seen nigga′s in Timbs

I done seen young Buck scuff Air Force Ones
In Cashville, but Compton is (where I'm from)
Where it's just me, my son, and my bitch
She graduated when Notorious B.I.G. dropped "Me & My Bitch"

She get them birds past, I put her in first class
And tell her to carry on that Duni & Burke bag
She from Grape Street, she know how to work the mag
And only buy white tees, tell ′em to keep the purple tags


′Cause the laces in my Chucks keep the beef crackin'
I lay nigga′s out like creased khakis
In that G-wagon, lean like the 23's draggin′
I got the whole NYC saggin'

If you don′t know
(Aftermath, nigga witta attitude) (game time niggas, Westside)
Where I'm from
(Nigga witta attitude) (straight outta Compton) (we rock khakis and Chucks)

If you don't know
(Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic) (legend in the making)
Where I′m from
(Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels)

Y′all niggaz got it fucked up
What you thought 'cause I′m from Compton I couldn't do numbers like Usher?
Platinum certified, nigga, that′s a mill' plus
Play both sides of the fence ′cause the Crips feel cuz

See me ridin' with Nate, nigga, it's still Blood
You can C-walk to this, homie, it′s still love
Nigga, I′ve been bangin' since Mary J. did "Real Love"

(If you don′t know) I painted the Rover black
The West coast is back, I can smoke to that
Moms got the CL-6, that's a fact
I bought the house, I′m just waitin' on the platinum plaques


Niggas lookin′ for a cat to jack
Homie, I'm willin' to do two life sentences back to back
So please don′t push me
You nigga′s is WNBA, all pussy

If you don't know
(Aftermath, nigga witta attitude) (game time niggas, Westside)
Where I′m from
(Nigga witta attitude) (straight outta Compton) (we rock khakis and Chucks)

If you don't know
(Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic) (legend in the making)
Where I′m from
(Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels)

If you don't know
(Aftermath, nigga witta attitude) (game time nigga′s, Westside)
Where I'm from
(Nigga witta attitude) (straight outta Compton) (we rock khakis and Chucks)

If you don't know
(Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic) (legend in the making)
Where I′m from
(Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels)
