Come and go with me
Head first into the trauma
Belly of the beast
Follow me to where I'm from
They said the money gon' change me
I let the beat sing, man
They wanna keep me in my lane
But hell nah, I took a different angle
They say the feds gon' cage me
How so? I look good on paper
They taking shots at the kingdom
I can't blame 'em
And if God don't take me
Bullets only graze me
Fire don't burn me
Nerves unshaken
The critics don't phase me
Wolves done raised me
Pirellis stay turnin'
The curves can't break me
And livin' so fly, I can hardly breathe
Dream in the clouds, I can hardly reach
Fall asleep to the sirens, nonstop violence
Body bags pilin', you know where to find me
Where I'm from
From the residue, raised in the
Built to be recession-proof, product of the dope game
Where finesse reigns 'til the shots fired
Drive-by minivan gettin' hotwired
Since a young nigga outside eatin' hot fries
I been laced with the game 'fore my pop died
From where game gets ran but no games get played
Been a grown-ass man from a real young age
It's imperative to stick to the narrative
Beware of the arrogance, it go and make you careless
I'm from where your meds well not, call cops, don't come
Buy a gun same place you get your ox tail from
Now I figure I peach trip to the Maldive
Went from sellin' OZ 'fore I got a ID
Overcame the cancer 'fore I ever came out
We endure pain way worse than you could blame, huh
Where I'm from
Come and go with me
Head first into the trauma
Belly of the beast
Follow me to where I'm from
And if God don't take me
Bullets only graze me
Fire don't burn me
Nerves unshaken
The critics don't phase me
Wolves done raised me
Pirellis stay turnin'
The curves can't break me
And livin' so fly, I can hardly breathe
Dream in the clouds, I can hardly reach
Fall asleep to the sirens, nonstop violence
Body bags pilin', you know where to find me
Where I'm from
The grit, God test for it
Taught us that a lawyer first thing you should ask for
Same time we learned that when you follow foot races
Get caught, they plant dope to make good cases
I remain outside where the rainbow guys
And them lame niggas play to the Kangol side
That's the left, right? Yep, mango sweet
Can't be runnin' no trap, not a day in Joe Street
Where the blind lead the blind, legacy left behind
Them pies burn down when advice turned down
From the home of the zones where the crown's in the throne
Get mud thrown on 'em when you talkin' on the phone
Get the wrong thing said and you learn the hard way
When the love strong, only mean greater heartbreak
Guys, hey, this the home of the scandalous
The scam of the streets is a sham of Atlanta
Where I'm from
Come and go with me
Head first into the trauma
Belly of the beast
Follow me to where I'm from
And if God don't take me
Bullets only graze me
Fire don't burn me
Nerves unshaken
The critics don't phase me
Wolves done raised me
Pirellis stay turnin'
The curves can't break me
And livin' so fly, I can hardly breathe
Dream in the clouds, I can hardly reach
Fall asleep to the sirens, nonstop violence
Body bags pilin', you know where to find me
Where I'm from
