beatnick & k-salaam - where i'm from lyrics
[intro: rakaa]
yeah, yeah, k-salaam!
rakaa! dilated!
expansion team sound system!
[verse 1 : rakaa]
i’m from the fields where they still lock crops to cash in
our music, our art, our dance, and fashion
where young girls grow up and move too fast
and some young boys try to prove they’re men through blastin’
playboy pastors, collection plates
and they pay big money for protection rates
they know every nba draft selection made
but can’t name a candidate on election day
where schools seem to train more than educate
where ‘one time’ shows up when we celebrate
where families bend the rules on section 8
huxtable houses get stressed with hate
but still, where i come from, people are thankful
getting our bars up, and keeping the tank full
getting our bills fed, and keeping the bank full
the tests that made us strongest are the most painful
[hook]
k-salaam!
‘where…where…where…where you at’?
we right here!
‘where…where…where…where you at?’
we right here!
where…where…where…where you at?’
it ain’t…it ain’t…’cause it ain’t where you from, it’s where you at.’
[verse 2: rakaa]
i’m from where lab rats are given the drugs and violence
various experiments, they’re keeping an eye on us
babylon watchers and got choppers to spy on us
saying “rakaa, you better watch it if you keep defying us.”
i’m from where they carry big sticks and stomp lightly
‘cause you never know when your last step might be
from where we’re har-ssed by the p.d. nightly
‘cause they didn’t like me, just for lookin’ like me
from where they bust gats, where they used to scr-p
so police think all the little youth are strapped
where juve’s just a training camp for supermax
where they’re de-sensitized, and they’re used to that
but still, where i come from it ain’t all ill
we chill…block party, barbeque on the grill
some of the world’s most talented people, i feel
trained me to represent, and the love is real
[hook]
