Lyrics
Uh huh gege gegegeya gegeyeah gegeyeah How real is this 2x Uhuhuh respect this here
Verse one: I'm from where the hammer's rung, new's cameras never come You and your man houndin' every verse in your rhyme Where the grams is slung, niggas vanish every summer Where the blue vans would come, we throw the work in the can and run Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set To achieve this goal quicker, sold all my weight wet Faced with immeasurable odds still I gave straight bets So I felt some more something, and you nothing check I from the other side with other guys don't walk to much And girls in the projects wouldn't fuck us if we talked too much So they ran up to tonka and sought them dudes to trust I don't know what the fuck they thought, them niggas is foul just like us I'm from where the beef is inevitable, summertime's unforgetable Boosters in abundance, buy a half-price sweater new Your word was everything, so everything you said you'd do You did it, couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it I from where niggas pull your card, and argue all day about Who's the best mc's, biggie, jay-z, and nas Where the drugs czars evolve, and thugs are at odds At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars Where cats catch cases, hoping the judge r and r's But most times find themselves locked up behind bars (that all) I'm from where they ball and breed rhyme stars I'm from marcy son, just thought I'd remind ya'll
Chorus: Cough up a lung where I'm from? marcy son (ain't nothing nice)(been to many places but I'm brooklyn's own)4x
So where you from? (excerpt from me and my bitch biggie interview: from lady interviewer)
Verse 2 I'm from the place where the chruch is the flakiest And niggas is praying to god so long that they atheist Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow Cause the day after we'll be saying, damn I was just with him yesterday I'm a block away from hell, not enough shots away from straight shells An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale Your laughing, you know the place well Where the liqour stores and the bass dwell And government, fuck government, niggas polotic theyselves Where we call the cops the a-team Cause they hop out of vans and spray things And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight-teen Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line, your rep solidifies So tell me when I rap you think I give a fuck who criticize? If the shit is lies, god strike me And I got a question, are you forgiving guys who live just like me? We'll never know One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow, I'll let em know The stakes and exactly what takes place in the ghetto Promise fulfilled, still I feel my job ain't done Cough up a lung, where I'm from, marcy son, ain't nothing nice
Chorus: Cough up a lung where I'm from? marcy son (ain't nothing nice)(been to many places but I'm brooklyn's own)4x
So where you from? (excerpt from me and my bitch biggie interview: from lady interviewer)
Verse 3: I'm from where they cross over and clap boards Lost jehovah in place of rap lords...listen I'm up the block round the corner and down the street From where the pimps prostitutes and the druglords meet We make a million off of beats cuz our stories is deep And fuck tomorrow long as the night before was sweet Niggas get lost for weeks in the street twisted off leak And no matter the weather niggas know how to draw heat Whether you're four feet or manute size it always starts out with 3 dice and shoot the five niggas thought they deuce was live Then I hit em with trips then I reached out for they money "pa Forget about this" this time around its platinum like the shit on my wrist and this glock on my waist yall can't do shit about this Niggas will show you love thats how they fool thugs Before you know it you're lying in a pool of blood
Chorus: Cough up a lung where I'm from? marcy son (ain't nothing nice)(been to many places but I'm brooklyn's own)4x
