[Verse 1] Where I’m from. We don’t take kindly to strangers. You better state your name and purpose, quick. It’s not you. It’s us. (It’s us) Where I’m from. You better come correct. And be direct. No slippin, no trippin. It be bess, if ya watch ya self. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) [Chorus] Horns on the front of my Cadillac. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Candy paint drippin, swervin down the lane. Don’t know how tah act. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Granddaddy on the porch, sippin cognac. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Don’t, get lost, when you come round here. You might get snatched. That’s where I’m from. (Where I’m from) That’s where I’m from. [Verse 2] Chickens runnin round in the front yard. Me and my brothas round back, playin, playin cards. Mama in the kitchen cookin somethin good. All my cousins down the street smokin backwoods. Police rollin by, always watchin us. We don’t pay em’ no mind. They never cross that line. Where I’m from. [Chorus] Horns on the front of my Cadillac. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Candy paint drippin, swervin down the lane. Don’t know how tah act. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Granddaddy on the porch, sippin cognac. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Don’t, get lost, when you come round here. You might get snatched. That’s where I’m from. (Where I’m from) That’s where I’m from. [Bridge] This is the place that raised me. First place, that paid me. It’s the place I raise my bay-bees. My day one. My ride or die, my hometown. And I stayed down. I’ll never turn my back on the place I lay my head. You know how I feel, I said what I said. [Outro Chorus] Horns on the front of my Cadillac. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Candy paint drippin, swervin down the lane. Don’t know how tah act. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Granddaddy on the porch, sippin cognac. (Where I’m from, where I’m from) Don’t, get lost, when you come round here. You might get snatched. That’s where I’m from. (Where I’m from) Oh… That’s where I’m from.
