HOOK I:
I'm reppin' Philly and I know this for sure, I rep New York, but you probably knew that from the door,
I rep L.A. on my best day, smoking under the sun,
That's my answer when the people start asking me where I'm from (WHERE YOU FROM?)

VERSE I:
Where the sun rises or where it sets/
I'm from the west coast, I smoke America's best/
I got my khakis and my Chuck Taylor's, forgot my vest/
On Normandie & Florence without a pistol, I'm stressed/ (damnnn)
Just another 24 hour, puffin more sour/
I'm from Houston, 5th ward, wippin a slab
82 De Ville, no shortness of horsepower/
Grill full of diamonds, middle fingers to these cowards/
I wake up in Atlanta where I'm born & raised/
In the back of my caddy bout to misbehave/
In the magic city parking lot I'm outta control/
(IN THE MAGIC CITY PARKING LOT, OUTTA CONTROL)
Yoo, they try to heckle but, they know he's great/
I'm from St. Louis, KC, the show me state/
I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana like Louie Armstrong the great/
With my trumpet in hand running through every state/

HOOK II:

Dallas, Ft. Worth, come see me around my way

VERSE II:
It ain't nothin like Hip Hop music/
you're in the birthplace, don't make it confusing/
I'm from the Bronx, uptown, forever fly/
Used to slang raps, bangin' on tables, back in Stevenson High/
Don't even question it, I skate though, fly 'round/
Detroit, Southside, ChiTown is my town/
And we gon' rep it for any sucka dat want it/
From K-town, Englewood, out to the wild 100's/
I'm from Toronto (TDOT) never fold when confronted/
We'll shake the ground beneath you kid, ya stock price'll plummet, damn/
What's good family? I been out on the road/
But home's between Indianapolis-Cincinnati/
Until I'm back send me your love and your best wishes/
I'm digging, trying to strike gold selling these mental pictures/
Orlando I love you when I'm with you the time flies/
Til I'm back home, Denver Colorado mile high/

VERSE III:
I'm home in the burbs, I'm home in the trap (facts)/
I'm from a block where them boys will lay you flat (facts)/
From the savage hallways to tree lined luxury flats but (it ain't where you're from it's where you're at), facts/
But watch my cup when hitting them turns/
Might spill yack on my three piece suit in front of these birds/
It's constant elevation, legal or illegal/
Stay in the saddle in Seattle posted atop the space Needle/
I do confess, the Pacific Northwest/
Has a place in the left of my chest/
That's where I'm from if you guessed, yes/
Hello, I'm off the Allegheny, steel city, reach my level/
Everything black and yellow/
So if you miss me just hit me up on the jack/
No tellin', which side of the Mississippi I'm at/
Just to let you and your homies know, I rep San Fran to San Antonio/
Follow my lead, if you know you know/
