[Verse 1:]

Am I changing right before your eyes?

Becoming someone you don't recognize

As if I was disguised, I'm on that shit as if I was the Fly

I'm touchin' skies, no puffin' lie

Man these songs that I made in my bedroom and shit

Gon' finally give a nigga leg room and a whip

From a Civic to a Chevy must've died and went to heaven

Like a passenger on 9/11 - please go find a reverend

You see I promise 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 yo name, she yellow

And even white women want a nigga - Othello

I'm ballin' with nuggets, like fuck it I'm Carmello

Now the crib got much room -Portobello

She drop it low and then she bust moves for the fellow

I sit yo ass down like you was playin' a cello

See, you niggas hated and I levitated further

Knew I would kill the game, premeditated murder

So if it comes down, may the best man win

No sweat like a head band

[Chorus:]

Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen

You know it can't get no better for me

No it can't get no better for me

Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen

You know it can't get no better for me

No it can't get no better for me

[Verse 2:]

I'm a kill the game and invite witnesses

No death penalty, I'm givin' out life sentences

Like keep grindin' boy, your life can change in one year

And even when it's dark out, the sun is shining somewhere

Yeah, look here I pay dues

My own worst enemy so fuck it either way I can't lose

808's so my south niggas feel me

Light-skinned so the house niggas feel me

She catch me creepin' out your house she'll kill me

Is it worth it 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 would give you the world

But, do you love me like you used to?

Even though I ain't that nigga that you're used to

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

And now I pay for everything, how you feel?

Mixed feelings 'cause now all the chicks feelin' him

You gotta adapt though never goin' back

[Chorus:]

Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen

You know it can't get no better for me

No it can't get no better for me

Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen

You know it can't get no better for me

No it can't get no better for me

I can't keep running away

I can't keep running away

I swear I'm coming back today

But if I'm wrong

And I ain't got what it takes

Then all dem people that was counting on me

Boy won't you climb down the mountain for me
