"Where I'm From" lyrics
(feat. Common, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg)
[Dr. Dre:]
Streets is talking, saying 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 making Aftermath classics
You might catch me out in traffic
Oh-five Aston, bitches asking "Where I'm From"
Y'all forgot who helped 50 Cent pop
I ain't spent my own money since Eminem dropped
In eighty-four I had the streets locked
I am to gangster rap what Biz Markie is to beat-box
Niggas think 'cause I stopped on that "Detox"
I traded in my All Stars for some Freeboks
Speakers still bumping, the beats still coming
Compton's version of Phil Drummond
Same Dre, "Different Strokes," same six-four, different spokes
Same "Chronic" just a different smoke
[Nate Dogg (Scratches):]
If you don't know ("Aftermath, nigga with a attitude")
("Game time niggas, 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 niggas 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 riding with Nate, nigga it's still Bloods
You can C-Walk to this homey it's still love
Nigga I've been banging 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 waiting on the platinum plaques
Niggas looking for a cat to jack
Homey I'm willing to do two life sentences back to back
So please don't push me
You niggas is WNBA - all pussy
[Nate Dogg (Scratches):]
