Hook
I know you know where you are coming from
But can you feel the sound of the drum
Africa loves you, yes, we love you
(Turn my mic up, let me in now)

Verse 1
Well, I be broadcasting live from the land of the original man
Extend my hand, grab the mike, rip a rhyme for my friend
Rhyme compositions written in my red blood
My rhymes flood my cranium
Instigating my whole soul to unfold again
I'm breaking them down 'til it's broken
I can't close, I'm open
I speak my mind and keep my mind spoken
Same time I be hoping
That the ill-bred head will lay the gun down on the ground
And act like the chosen one
Not 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or ten
When the sun shines, I begin
Word, true, I'm a win
The Man above is love and when I sin, I sin
He don't strike me out though
I guess, He understands that I 'm just not in tune
Soon, it's gonna be time for my self check
I will say to my self, help
Rewind my mind frame for the time change
Prepare to play this one again and again and oh!
Shame on the nigga who didn't dig my operation
Code name - come back home and finish the mission, intuition
I hope your bone-dome will register
Reggie's voice tone when you're home alone
Turn my mic up now

Where I'm from [hey!] (3x)
Where I'm from (2x)

Verse 2
We eat and greet with the right hand and never the left hand
Do any of the above and you could seriously offend the next man
Hope you understand
Where I'm from
There's nothing like the welfare handout, mandatory hustle
Trouble to the lazy one, son
You will crumble and that's on the humble
Where I'm from
You can't shoplift, booze, steal, get caught and get away scot free
Live to tell your story, count yourself lucky
Where I'm from
The cops, they look like me and you
Yeah, they black, you talk back and get your dome cracked
And believe me cat
You will not be on Oprah Winfrey, talking about that
Where I'm from
The melanin in my skin gets to serve its full purpose
We got crazy sun above us
Where I'm from
The ladies, uuh! the ladies
Perfect bodies bringing ample proof that God is a true artist
Where I'm from
We love the sound of the fontomfrom drum
You know the one that goes bodom badom bom bom bom
Where I'm from
We got 'nuff superstition to make Superman superstitious
Remote control in your home, so
It sounds ridiculous, shit is serious
Ay yo kid, are you still curious
Leave you nameless, leave you famous
In Africa, yup baby paw
That's where I'm from where I'm from

Chorus 4x
We like to party, boogie 'til the break of dawn
If you thought, we lived in trees, then you're dead wrong
Respect me, I'll respect you
And that's how we all will get along
Yup baby paw
That's where I'm from, where I'm from

Repeat Hook 2x
(Africa loves you, Ooh! yes we really do, hey!)
Yup baby paw, that's where I'm from
Where I'm from

Repeat Chorus till fade
In Africa
