[Pre-Chorus]
I could walk through my own hood with my chains out
I used to put buckets on the floor when it rained out
Get rich or die trying, me and 50 took the same route
I live at the liquor store, to help me let the pain out
These bitches will kiss you then diss you with the same mouth
They run if they can't sell coke out the same house
My city is known for ball players and the bang house
I let my soul bleed this what came out, yeah

[Chorus]
Its always night where I’m from
They ain't know what it was like where I'm from, aye
They was thinking it was light where I’m from, hey
Gotta get a n***a tight where I'm from, aye

[Post-Chorus]
They shit is hot for a second, then get played out
My shit is like, "I remember when this came out"
My city is one way in, and no way out
Don't come to the party to get laid and then get laid out

[Verse 1]
In the no-smoking section with a huge blunt to lips
You can tell by how I walk that I'm who running shit
I don't really give a fuck, I'm from Newburgh and shit
Room full of white people, I'm like who sucking dick?
N***a salute me or shoot me, give me dap or take aim
I'ma say what I want, I’m the rap Charlamagne
I don’t fuck with these rappers, cos they all rap the same
I don't fuck with the crackers, they think all blacks the same
They want whips on our backs, see us back in ball and chains
If I don’t get black balled, I'll be rap hall of fame (goddam)
Every time we in the news its devastating
Not a second in my shoes, they would never make it
I could save saint Lukes and give them hella patience
You know I got it lit, my name is celebration
[Pre-Chorus]
I could walk through my own hood with my chains out
I used to put buckets on the floor when it rained out
Get rich or die trying, me and 50 took the same route
I live at the liquor store, to help me let the pain out
These bitches will kiss you then diss you with the same mouth
They run if they can't sell coke out the same house
My city is known for ball players and the bang house
I let my soul bleed this what came out, yeah

[Chorus]
Its always night where I'm from
They ain’t know what it was like where I'm from, aye
They was thinking it was light where I'm from, hey
Gotta get a n***a tight where I'm from, aye

[Post-Chorus]
Know that there's beef when a n***a really steak out
Nobody get married 'round here, they just play house
I'm like a fuckin' canine with the fangs out
I still knock down new broads on the same couch, aye

[Verse 2]
Vinylz made it, so you know it's gonna knock
Why you playing girl, you know you outta stop
I don't care how many followers you got
Don't know who you think you are, but I'ma show you that you not
N***a, I been plotting on the top spot
Since DMX said shut it down and open up shop
N***a please don't touch me while I'm hot
One phone call from Cas' "everybody gettin' shot boom, boom"
Donald Trump other day tell me who I'm missing
If I drop a tape with nothin but the truth who would listen
Ride around top down, Bobby Brown, New Edition
Where I'm from, you don't want to be a killer? You a victim
Where I'm from, you don't wanna be a sucker, do the licking
Where I'm from, you don't wanna be dumb, you should listen
Where I'm from, its where I'm from y'all not
Every other block, church, liquor store, car lot
Where I'm from, n***as ain't playin' fair, too emotional, call Thomas couldn't make it here
I suggest you don't take it there, n***as straight knock you out your Jordans, that's your favorite pair, n***a
[Pre-Chorus]
I could walk through my own hood with my chains out
I used to put buckets on the floor when it rained out
Get rich or die trying, me and 50 took the same route
I live at the liquor store, to help me let the pain out
These bitches will kiss you then diss you with the same mouth
They run if they can't sell coke out the same house
My city is known for ball players and the bang house
I let my soul bleed this what came out, yeah

[Chorus]
Its always night where I'm from
They ain't know what it was like where I'm from, aye
They was thinking it was light where I'm from, hey
Gotta get a n***a tight where I'm from, aye
