[Intro]
Detroit raised me
(Reuel, stop playin' with these n***as)
Huh?

[Verse 1]
They ain't wanna be around me 'til I got some ice
If you breakin' laws, boy, you better know your rights
Can't be playin' with certain n***as, they'll take your life
Unc' still catchin' bricks, he think he Jerry Rice
Ridin' down the Mile, bangin' Blade in the coupe
Detroit raised me, all I know is rap or hoop
These young n***as violent, all they know is shoot
Westside n***a, all I know is get money like Shoop, huh?
Made my first 10K, hit thе Blade dance
The trap bеatin' too hard, here come the raid vans
Countin' all this paper, I don't wanna change hands
Detroit turn a young n***a to a made man, huh?

[Chorus]
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop shit
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n***as
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n***as
[Verse 2]
These young n***as put the hood on they back
They know he from 12th Street 'cause he got it tatted
You ain't gotta tell him get some money, 'cause that's automatic
I know some 7 Mile n***as say they 2020
I know how it feel to be broke, it's just been a minute
I know some ATB n***as that'll finish n***as
I know some Eastside n***as say they 42
I know some 8 Mile n***as throw the fours too
I know some North End n***as really get it in
I know some Southwest n***as gettin' bricks again
I know some 55 Bloods right off 7 Mile
I know some 50 Zone n***as right off Van Dyke
I know some n***as hit the road, n***as catchin' flights
I know some n***as in the traphouse every night
If you an out-of-town n***a, better tread lightly
'Cause you'll get your ass killed tryna hustle here
Got out the county, turned my hustle to another gear
N***as dyin' before twenty, they'll bust you here
We don't tussle here
Thank God, I can't believe I made another year, huh? Huh?

[Chorus]
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop shit
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n***as
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n***as
[Verse 3]
Real n***as rare, life ain't fair
Young n***as gettin' popped up at the state fair
Young n***as gettin' locked up, doin' bullshit
Old n***a put me on, got his young bull rich, huh?
N***as gon' lose they life, it's life
Some good n***as got left, man, this shit ain't right
If he say it's on sight, then it's on sight
I finally got hood rich, bought me some ice
I been waitin' on this shit like my whole life
Young rich n***a puttin' bitches on a flight
In the county jail, used to have to write a kite
Now I'm sittin' front row at the fight tonight, huh?

[Chorus]
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop shit
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n***as
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n***as
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop shit
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n***as
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n***as
