Where I’m From - Jay-Z[00:00:00]
Y-y-yea[00:00:06]
Y-y-yea[00:00:08]
(Brooklyn)[00:00:11]
How real is this [00:00:11]
How real is this [00:00:14]
(Brooklyn)[00:00:16]
Uh uh uh[00:00:18]
(Brooklyn)[00:00:20]
Respect this here check [00:00:21]
I'm from where the hammers rung news cameras never come[00:00:23]
You and your mans hung in every verse in your rhyme[00:00:27]
Where the grams is slung niggas vanish every summer[00:00:30]
When the blue vans would come we throw the work in the can and run[00:00:32]
Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set[00:00:35]
To achieve this goal quicker sold all my weight wet[00:00:38]
Faced with immeasurable odds still I gave straight bets[00:00:41]
So I felt I'm owed something and you nothing check[00:00:44]
I from the other side where the other guys don't walk too much[00:00:47]
And girls in the projects wouldn't f**k us said we talked too much[00:00:50]
So they ran up to Tompkins and sought them dudes to trust[00:00:53]
I don't know what the f**k they thought those niggas is foul just like us[00:00:56]
I'm from where the beef is inevitable summertime's unforgettable[00:00:59]
Boosters in abundance buy a half-price sweater new[00:01:02]
Your word was everything so everything you said you'd do[00:01:05]
You did it couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it[00:01:08]
I'm from where niggas pull your card and argue all day about[00:01:11]
Who's the best MCs Biggie Jay-Z or Nas [00:01:14]
Where the drugs czars evolve and thugs always are[00:01:17]
At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars[00:01:20]
Where cats catch cases hoping the judge R-and-R's[00:01:23]
But most times find themselves locked up behind bars at all[00:01:26]
I'm from where they ball and breed rhyme stars[00:01:30]
I'm from Marcy son just thought I'd remind y'all[00:01:32]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:35]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:01:38]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:40]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:01:44]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:47]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:01:50]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:52]
I'm from the place where the church is the flakiest[00:01:58]
And niggas is praying to God so long that they atheist[00:02:01]
Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow[00:02:04]
Cause the day after we'll be saying "Damn I was just with him yesterday"[00:02:07]
I'm a block away from hell not enough shots away from stray shells[00:02:10]
An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale[00:02:13]
You're laughing you know the place well where the liquor stores and the base well[00:02:16]
And government f**k government niggas politic themselves[00:02:19]
Where we call the cops the A-Team cause they hop out of vans and spray things[00:02:22]
And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eighteen[00:02:25]
Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line your rep solidifies[00:02:28]
So tell me when I rap you think I give a f**k who criticize [00:02:31]
If the shit is lies god strike me and I got a question[00:02:34]
Are you forgiving guys who live just like me We'll never know[00:02:37]
One day I prayed to you and said if I ever blow I'd let 'em know[00:02:40]
Mistakes ain't and exactly what takes place in the ghetto[00:02:43]
Promise fulfilled still I feel my job ain't done[00:02:45]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:02:49]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:02:52]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:02:55]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:02:58]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:03:01]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:03:04]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:03:07]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:03:09]
I'm from where they cross-over and clap boards[00:03:15]
Lost Jehovah in place of rap lords listen[00:03:18]
I'm up the block around the corner and down the street[00:03:21]
From where the pimps prostitutes and the drug lords meet[00:03:24]
We make a million off of beats cause our stories is deep[00:03:27]
And f**k tomorrow as long as the night before was sweet[00:03:30]
Niggas get lost for weeks in the streets twisted off leek[00:03:33]
And no matter the weather niggas know how to draw heat[00:03:36]
Whether you're four-feet or Manute size it always starts out with[00:03:39]
Three dice and shoot the five[00:03:43]
Niggas thought they deuce was live now I hit 'em with trips[00:03:45]
And I reached down for their money pa forget about this[00:03:48]
This time around it's platinum like the shit on my wrist[00:03:51]
And this Glock on my waist y'all can't do shit about this[00:03:54]
Niggas'll show you love that's how they fool thugs[00:03:57]
Before you know it you're lying in a pool of blood[00:04:00]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:04:03]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:04:06]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:04:09]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:04:12]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:04:14]
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own[00:04:19]
Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice[00:04:21]
