THE GAME LYRICS - Where I'm From

"Where I'm From"

(feat. Common, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg)



[Common]

Yeah yeah whattup doe this Common right here

Look, my nigga Game, you know how we rotate

Chicago, to Compton

Gangbangin the revolution boy, aight?

Yo it's love, my nigga Game, peace

(DJ Ski, is bringin it to the streets!)



[Dr. Dre]

Streets is talkin, sayin Dre done changed

And he ain't been to the hood, well how the fuck I find Game?

I studied this rap shit, still a "Hundred Miles and Runnin'"

Still makin Aftermath classics

You might catch me out in traffic

Oh-five Aston, bitches askin "Where I'm From"

Y'all forgot who helped 50 Cent pop

I ain't spent my own money since Eminem dropped

In eighty-fo' I had the streets locked

I am to gangsta rap what Biz Markie is to beatbox

Niggaz think cause I stopped on that "Detox"

I traded in my All Stars for some Freeboks

Speakers still bumpin, the beats still comin

Compton's version of Phil Drummond

Same Dre, "Different Strokes," same six-fo', different spokes

Same "Chronic" just different smoke



[Chorus: Nate Dogg (scratches)]

If you don't know ("Aftermath, nigga with a attitude")

("Game time niggaz, Westside!") Where I'm from

("Nigga with a 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 bastards, watch your colors in this City of Angels")



[The Game]

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 Bloods

You can C-Walk to this homey 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

Niggaz lookin for a cat to jack

Homey I'm willin to do two life sentences back to back

So please don't push me

You niggaz is WNBA - all pussy



[Chorus]
