Where I'm from
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tricky:
Damn bam
Read the lines
Bleed succeed
We design
I couldn't care less
It's a killing time
We're killing mine
you're feeling fine
Running (?) every time and every sign
every line and every crime
No snack, it bring you curse
No sweat, you like your worse
strange fruit ...
changing bombs into ear gums
Running (?) every time and every sign
Every line and every crime
Tricky & Costanza:
Where I'm from
There's something wrong
Something wrong
I don't belong
(2x)
Please be still
Not for real
(2x)
Where I'm from
There's something wrong
Something wrong
I don't belong
Please be still
Not for real
Not for real
Not for real
Mike Black:
So you really want it
Yes, we got it
If you listen in then yes, you got
We want a company we're in
let's do talk shit
I don't really want to have a problem til' (?)
I don't really want to have a problem til' (?)
All I really want to do is make this clear
we do bleed you
so deceive your mind and nose
when I dont see in
wosen grosen (?) to a dream
it bozen dozen (?) to something
Hold it tight when cuts run deep
No one sees what you're hiding
Tricky & Costanza:
Where I'm from
There's something wrong
Something wrong
I don't belong
(2x)
Please be still
Not for real
(2x)
Where I'm from
There's something wrong
Something wrong
I don't belong
Tricky:
Please be still
Not for real
Not for real
Not for real
Costanza:
Such you gonna get
and you see ya
something you dont wanna
you dont wanna see ya
la solita vita non modifica il mondo*
[the same life doesn't modify the world]
solo e' se una donna puo' fermare l'onda
[only if is a woman she can stop the wave]
rosso fuoco viva nel mio petto
[red as fire,alive in my breast]
solo una parola c'e' : rispetto
[there's only a word : RESPECT]
scelgo,lo voglio non aspetto
[I choose,I want it I dont wait]
che l'onore del l'onore del tuo scettro
[that the honour of the honour of your sceptre]
Blitz a Diaz, polizia
[Blitz in Diaz, police]
blocco nero e' la tua spia
[black block is your spy]
non mi fermero' mai ai tuoi richiami
[I wont never stop to your recalls]
corro piu' veloce della tua Ferrari
[I run faster than your Ferrari]

*translation of the Italian rap part:
the same life doesn't modify the world
only if is a woman she can stop the wave
red as fire,alive in my breast
there's only a word : RESPECT
I choose,I want it I dont wait
that the honour of the honour of your sceptre
Blitz in Diaz, police
black block is your spy
I wont never stop to your recalls
I run faster than your Ferrari
