House of Pain - Where I'm From lyrics
[House of Pain - Where I'm From lyrics]
That's where I'm from that's where I'm from
Back in The Hut we used to drop mad L
Contemplating hell
The stories I could tell would
Freak your mind and wreck your brain
The thoughts I would have
Would drive most insane
Divine playing Rain, gettin' down with Jimi
Hendrix and Page, big up to Rage
But back to the hood in Bilal's backyard
Me and D was starving and times were hard
Danny used to roll through
Scheming on the hustle
Credit cards and slanging and MC bangin'
Lethal used to come with his reel to reel
We didn't have no deal
But that wasn't the point, we'd
Rock a funky joint, then we'd rock another
The only thing to eat was
Some bread and peanut butter
So big up to all the females that fed me
In case you ever wondered
"Did he forget me?"
These are the times that I always think of
And this is dedicated to the ones I love
That's where I'm from
How you know where you goin'
If you don't look back?
What's the use of havin' ends if
You lose all your friends?
Painting on the wall, ten years gone by
Playing on the stereo with
The volume kinda up
Scheme Team's coming, ring the alarm
We gonna throw a hard party
Till the break of dawn
With the Soul prophets of Soul Poetry
Chameleon, Kalonjee, Divine and Cockni
Bring a tab and a 40 and a bag of weed
That's all I need G, cause I ain't greedy
Trippin' for days, runnin' the maze
Goin' down to Venice sippin' on a Guinness
These are the times that I always think of
And this is dedicated to the ones I love
That's where I'm from
How you know where you goin'
If you don't look back?
What's the use of havin' ends if
You lose all your friends?
Now times have changed, I'm out on tour
And I don't see my friends every day no more
And 'cause they don't see me
They think I've changed
But I'm the same motherfucker, no doubt
What's that all about?
I thought we was people
I'm trying to get mine
I thought you had my back
Man, I can't understand
How you can slap my hand ask me for a grand
Then run with your men
Behind my back and diss me
If you wanna fuck me, first you gotta kiss me
I know where I'm from!
That's where I'm from
How you know where you goin'
If you don't look back?
What's the use of havin' ends if
You lose all your friends?
Back in The Hut we used to drop mad L
Contemplating hell
The stories I could tell would
Freak your mind and wreck your brain
The thoughts I would have
Would drive most insane
Divine playing Rain, gettin' down with Jimi
