[Verse 1:]
Am I changing right before your eyes?
Becoming someone you don’t recognize
As if I was disguised, I’m on that sh** as if I was the Fly
I’m touchin’ skies, no puffin’ lie
Man these songs that I made in my bedroom and sh**
Gon’ finally give a n***a leg room and a whip
From a Civic to a Chevy must’ve died and went to heaven
Like a pa**enger on 9/11 – please go find a reverend
You see I promise that I’d never change
But that was way before I made the dough and met the game
Say hello to Miss Thang, I forgot yo name, she yellow
And even white women want a n***a – Othello
I’m ballin’ with nuggets, like f** it I’m Carmello
Now the crib got much room -Portobello
She drop it low and then she bust moves for the fellow
I sit yo a** down like you was playin’ a cello
See, you n***as hated and I levitated further
Knew I would k** the game, premeditated murder
So if it comes down, may the best man win
No sweat like a head band
[Chorus:]
Where I’m from, if you ever seen what I seen
You know it can’t get no better for me
No it can’t get no better for me
Where I’m from, if you ever seen what I seen
You know it can’t get no better for me
No it can’t get no better for me
[Verse 2:]
I’m a k** the game and invite witnesses
No d**h penalty, I’m givin’ out life sentences
Like keep grindin’ boy, your life can change in one year
And even when it’s dark out, the sun is shining somewhere
Yeah, look here I pay dues
My own worst enemy so f** it either way I can’t lose
808’s so my south n***as feel me
Light-skinned so the house n***as feel me
She catch me creepin’ out your house she’ll k** me
Is it worth it what’s under that blouse?
My heart’ll turn pitch black and cold if I split with my girl
If I could gift-wrap the globe, I would give you the world
But, do you love me like you used to?
Even though I ain’t that n***a that you’re used to
Remember back when I was broke, you would fix me
Do you prefer the broke me or the rich me
The broke me couldn’t buy you meals, not even a value meal
And now I pay for everything, how you feel?
Mixed feelings ’cause now all the chicks feelin’ him
You gotta adapt though never goin’ back
[Chorus:]
Where I’m from, if you ever seen what I seen
You know it can’t get no better for me
No it can’t get no better for me
Where I’m from, if you ever seen what I seen
You know it can’t get no better for me
No it can’t get no better for me
I can’t keep running away
I can’t keep running away
I swear I’m coming back today
But if I’m wrong
And I ain’t got what it takes
Then all dem people that was counting on me
Boy won’t you climb down the mountain for me
