Where You From?

Where you from? Nah, where you really from?

Man, you bought a jersey and you think you from the city
Took a picture on the corner, now you swear it's gritty
Rented out a Benz, hit the drive-thru like a tourist
Asked me for directions, man, you lost and you the purest
Talking bout the struggle but your daddy bought the condo
Talking bout the hood like it's a flavor at the combo
Ain't nobody know you, ain't nobody seen you
Uncle said he raised you, he was lying, never seen you
Grandma on the porch, she said she never heard your name
Corner store closed down and you still claim the frame
Wore a bandana to the brunch, that's crazy
Put a filter on the block, now the block look hazy
Everybody posing like they came up out the gravel
Man, you came up out a suburb with a hobby and a travel
I ain't even mad, it's funny, it's a skit
But you can't rent a story and then say you lived in it

Hold up, hold up
Let me ask you one time
Hold up, hold up
Let me ask you one time
Hold up, hold up
Let me ask you one time
Hold up, hold up
Let me ask you one time

Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
You ain't from the block, you just drove through once
Where you from? Nah, where you really from?
Say it with your chest
(Where you from?)

Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
Say it with your chest

Everybody out here got a story, got a scar
You got a playlist and a sticker on your car
We don't hate the visit, just don't move in and rename it
Every block got history, you can't come in and claim it
Pull up to the cookout, can't even make a plate right
Asked who made the potato salad, gotta ask right
Nah, I'm playing, kinda, but you know the rules
Respect where you standing when you standing in these shoes
Coach knew my name before the cameras ever knew it
Teacher told my mama that her boy was gonna do it
Every mural on the wall got a face I recognize
You just learned the slang last week, I see it in your eyes
Keep that energy, that's cool, but keep it true
'Cause the city got a memory and it don't remember you

Hold up, hold up
Let me ask you one time
Hold up, hold up
Let me ask you one time

Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
You ain't from the block, you just drove through once
Where you from? Nah, where you really from?
Say it with your chest

Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
Say it with your chest
Say it with your chest

Louder (where you from?)
If you from here, put your hands up now
If you not from here, sit down
Say it (where you from?)
Louder (where you from?)

Nah, where you really from?
You ain't from the block, you just drove through once
Where you from? (Where you from?)
Nah, where you really from?
Say it with your chest
Say it with your chest
