Wiz Khalifa
Where I’m From (Demo)
[Chorus: Lukas Graham & Wiz Khalifa]
I'm not forgettin' where I'm comin' from
But I won't forget where I'm goin'
I've worked too hard for me to not go on
You don't know what it's like where I'm from
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
You know I didn't alone
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
Before you're right you gotta do it wrong
(Pssh, huh, oh man)

[Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa]
Oh man
Used to be the young one, now I turned to a grown man
Always gotta put on for my soldiers, fallen
Gotta run to it when I hear that money callin' (Brr)
Stand up
Can't be a lil' ass kid 'bout shit no more, gotta man up
It ain't about you at the end of the day, you got things you gotta handle
When they ask me why I go so hard, I blame that on where I came from
Pittsburgh, when it come to n***as I'm the realest version
Smoke good, man it's KK, you should see in person
N***as hate when you come up, and this shit disturbin'
So much in my bank account, made a n***a nervous
Like, "What I'm gon' do with all that?"
Go hard and never fall back, tryna maintain
Focused on havin' good habits, if it work once, do the same thing
Pave the way for the people comin' up after me, to take the same lane
Been the same way since I came in the game, ain't a n***a ain't changed, mane
[Chorus: Lukas Graham & Wiz Khalifa]
I'm not forgettin' where I'm comin' from
But I won't forget where I'm goin'
I've worked too hard for me to not go on
You don't know what it's like where I'm from
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
You know I didn't alone
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
Before you're right you gotta do it wrong
(Pssh, huh)

[Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa]
Gotta build and destroy
Gotta know what to avoid
Gotta hustle 'til it's gone
Gotta go 'til your feet can't no more
Gotta always stay strong
Gotta last real long, don't gotta live up to the expectations
Just gotta prove 'em wrong
If anytime they don't understand, it's somethin' you done show
How the ground really gone? How the whole dawn it'll be right there for him
On a rooftop, smokin' KK out a bong
With my real n***as that I started with, know one day they'd be on
Run away, n***as was strugglin'
Every day hustlin', now we got bank accounts goin' through customs in
They just be showin' us love
I could afford a dub
But I've learn to roll with the punches, if you wanna throw 'em, I cover up
Know that I got it, I don't need no confirmation
I smoke, ain't no ventilation
My money keep calculatin'
It's out there, then I'ma chase it
No question if I can make it
I'm feelin' like I'm the greatest
When you are real, one can never break you, it ain't 'bout all the mills that you put in the safe
[Chorus: Lukas Graham]
I'm not forgettin' where I'm comin' from
But I won't forget where I'm goin'
I've worked too hard for me to not go on
You don't know what it's like where I'm from
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
You know I didn't alone
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
Before you're right you gotta do it wrong

[Bridge: Lukas Graham & Wiz Khalifa, Lukas Graham]
I did what I had, I've my mistakes
My foot's on the gas and I won't hit the breaks
Win some and then some, I do what it takes
But I won't forget where I'm from
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
You know I didn't alone
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh
Before you're right you gotta do it wrong

[Chorus: Lukas Graham]
I'm not forgettin' where I'm comin' from (I'm not forgettin' where I'm comin' from)
But I won't forget where I'm goin' (But I won't forget where I'm goin')
I've worked too hard for me to not go on (I've worked too hard for me to not go on)
You don't know what it's like where I'm from (You don't know what it's like where I'm from)
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh (Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh)
You know I didn't alone (You know I didn't alone)
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh (Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh)
Before you're right you gotta do it wrong (Before you're right you gotta do it wrong)
[Outro: Lukas Graham]
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh (Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh)
You know I didn't alone (You know I didn't alone)
Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh (Oh, oh, ooh woah, oh)
Before you're right you gotta do it wrong (Before you're right you gotta do it wrong)
