[Intro]
Yeah, ayy
Hey
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Am I changin' right before your eyes? Huh?
Becomin' someone you don't recognize
As if I was disguised
I'm on that shit as if I was the flies
I'm touchin' skies, no puffin' lye
Man, these songs that I made in my bedroom and shit
Gon' finally get a n***a leg room in the whip
From a Civic to a 7, must've died and went to heaven
Like a passenger on 9/11, please go find a reverend
You see, I promised 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 your name, she yellow
And even white women want a n***a, Othello
I'm ballin' with nuggets like fuck it, I'm Carmelo
Now the crib got much rooms, portobello
She drop it low and then she bust moves for the fellow
I sit your ass down like you was playin' a cello
See, you n***as hated and I levitated further
Knew I would kill the game, premeditated murder
So if it come down to may the best man win
No sweat like a headband then, n***a
[Chorus]
Hey, where I'm from
If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey
You'd know it can't get no better for me
Know it can't get no better for me
Where I'm from
If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey
You'd know it can't get no better for me
Know it can't get no better for me

[Verse 2]
Hah, yeah
I'ma kill the game and invite witnesses
No death penalty, I'm giving life sentences
Like keep grindin', boy, your life can change in one year
And even when it's dark out, the sun is shinin' somewhere
Yeah, look here, I paid dues
My own worst enemy, so fuck it, either way, I can't lose
808s so my South n***as feel me
Lightskinned, so the house n***as feel me
She catch me creepin' out your house, she'll kill me
Is it worth it for 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'll 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, yeah
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
Now I pay for everything, how you feel?
Mixed feelings 'cause now all the chicks feelin' him
You gotta adapt, though, I'm never goin' back
[Chorus]
Hey, where I'm from
If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey
You'd know it can't get no better for me
Know it can't get no better for me
Where I'm from
If you ever seen what I'd seen, hey
You'd know it can't get no better for me
Know it can't get no better for me

[Outro]
Uh, I can't keep runnin' away
I can't keep runnin' away, uh
I swear I'm comin' back one day
Hey
What if I'm wrong?
And I ain't got what it takes? Uh, man
Then all them people that was countin' on me
Boy, won't you climb down the mountain for me? Hey
Ayy, ayy, alright
