Where I'm From

(DJ on the beat, so it's a banger) I grew up with all my niggas (all my niggas) In them buildings Low income, roaches on ceilings (roaches on ceilings) Man, y'all don't get it If I had a dollar and we was at the store (we was at the store) Folks get fifty We was so close when we was dead broke Now I got a million, nigga, I'ma split it They say, "Von, why you trippin'?" Nigga, watch out, mind your business I done lost niggas, all I got is pictures I don't give no fuck, I don't got no feelings I was seventeen locked up in the cell, got word they just killed O I was confused, O was the G.O.A.T. How they killed him and he stay with his pole?
