House of Pain — Where Im From

[Intro: Everlast] That's where I'm from That's where I'm from [Verse 1: Everlast] Back in the hood 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 [Chorus: Everlast]×4 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? [Verse 2: Everlast] 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 [Chorus: Everlast]×4 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? [Verse 3: Everlast] 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! [Chorus: Everlast]×8 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?
