《Where I’m From》歌词

[00:00:00] Where I’m From - Jay-Z

[00:00:06] Y-y-yea

[00:00:08] Y-y-yea

[00:00:11] (Brooklyn)

[00:00:11] How real is this

[00:00:14] How real is this

[00:00:16] (Brooklyn)

[00:00:18] Uh uh uh

[00:00:20] (Brooklyn)

[00:00:21] Respect this here check

[00:00:23] I'm from where the hammers rung news cameras never come

[00:00:27] You and your mans hung in every verse in your rhyme

[00:00:30] Where the grams is slung niggas vanish every summer

[00:00:32] When the blue vans would come we throw the work in the can and run

[00:00:35] Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set

[00:00:38] To achieve this goal quicker sold all my weight wet

[00:00:41] Faced with immeasurable odds still I gave straight bets

[00:00:44] So I felt I'm owed something and you nothing check

[00:00:47] I from the other side where the other guys don't walk too much

[00:00:50] And girls in the projects wouldn't f**k us said we talked too much

[00:00:53] So they ran up to Tompkins and sought them dudes to trust

[00:00:56] I don't know what the f**k they thought those niggas is foul just like us

[00:00:59] I'm from where the beef is inevitable summertime's unforgettable

[00:01:02] Boosters in abundance buy a half-price sweater new

[00:01:05] Your word was everything so everything you said you'd do

[00:01:08] You did it couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it

[00:01:11] I'm from where niggas pull your card and argue all day about

[00:01:14] Who's the best MCs Biggie Jay-Z or Nas

[00:01:17] Where the drugs czars evolve and thugs always are

[00:01:20] At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars

[00:01:23] Where cats catch cases hoping the judge R-and-R's

[00:01:26] But most times find themselves locked up behind bars at all

[00:01:30] I'm from where they ball and breed rhyme stars

[00:01:32] I'm from Marcy son just thought I'd remind y'all

[00:01:35] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice

[00:01:38] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:01:40] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice

[00:01:44] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:01:47] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice

[00:01:50] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:01:52] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son ain't nothing nice

[00:01:58] I'm from the place where the church is the flakiest

[00:02:01] And niggas is praying to God so long that they atheist

[00:02:04] Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow

[00:02:07] Cause the day after we'll be saying "Damn I was just with him yesterday"

[00:02:10] I'm a block away from hell not enough shots away from stray shells

[00:02:13] An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale

[00:02:16] You're laughing you know the place well where the liquor stores and the base well

[00:02:19] And government f**k government niggas politic themselves

[00:02:22] Where we call the cops the A-Team cause they hop out of vans and spray things

[00:02:25] And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eighteen

[00:02:28] Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line your rep solidifies

[00:02:31] So tell me when I rap you think I give a f**k who criticize

[00:02:34] If the shit is lies god strike me and I got a question

[00:02:37] Are you forgiving guys who live just like me We'll never know

[00:02:40] One day I prayed to you and said if I ever blow I'd let 'em know

[00:02:43] Mistakes ain't and exactly what takes place in the ghetto

[00:02:45] Promise fulfilled still I feel my job ain't done

[00:02:49] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:02:52] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:02:55] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:02:58] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:03:01] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:03:04] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:03:07] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:03:09] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:03:15] I'm from where they cross-over and clap boards

[00:03:18] Lost Jehovah in place of rap lords listen

[00:03:21] I'm up the block around the corner and down the street

[00:03:24] From where the pimps prostitutes and the drug lords meet

[00:03:27] We make a million off of beats cause our stories is deep

[00:03:30] And f**k tomorrow as long as the night before was sweet

[00:03:33] Niggas get lost for weeks in the streets twisted off leek

[00:03:36] And no matter the weather niggas know how to draw heat

[00:03:39] Whether you're four-feet or Manute size it always starts out with

[00:03:43] Three dice and shoot the five

[00:03:45] Niggas thought they deuce was live now I hit 'em with trips

[00:03:48] And I reached down for their money pa forget about this

[00:03:51] This time around it's platinum like the shit on my wrist

[00:03:54] And this Glock on my waist y'all can't do shit about this

[00:03:57] Niggas'll show you love that's how they fool thugs

[00:04:00] Before you know it you're lying in a pool of blood

[00:04:03] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:04:06] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:04:09] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:04:12] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:04:14] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice

[00:04:19] Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

[00:04:21] Cough up a lung where I'm from Marcy son Ain't nothing nice
