Bambú - Where You From lyrics

[Sample] "May I introduce a city? That is changing every moment It's a charming contradiction. A prize for everyone." [Verse One] If you are from Los Angeles, stand tall Hope I made my city proud cause I get down for y'all From Jordan's old soul food on Wilmington To Tommy's on Rampart, we living in A city with no pity Smog make lung sh**ty Children up at 6:00 to get bused across the city Laying off teachers Economy weaker I watch graduation from under the school bleachers All my friends had dropped out early America justice done did my homie's so dirty Prison over tagging or prison over some bud We get medical marijuana, Ro was holding a dub Now, up in the clouds touching down to a crowd Waiting for me to say something special over a sound A city drown in the sun, that Hollywood sh** fake Spotlights from a helicopter shine on my face We push carts full of plastic trying to make a quick buck Mad dogging my brothers to hit 'em up where you from From the city with no pity Skid Row to Venice City development is kicking out life long tenets [Hook] So where you from? Throw your neighborhood like you proud You don't need to catch a body to show how much you down This for my cousins who caught it All my friends who ain't here Los Angeles looking different every year So tell 'em where you from Where you from? Where you from? Where you from? Where you from? Uh huh Where you from? Where you from? Where you from? Where you from? Where you from? Uh huh uh huh Show me where you from [Verse Two] Babies k**ing babies make me crazy The rappers glorify how we survive through this bangin' Politicians speaking for money and not the needy Seedy, greedy with beedie little eyes feeding the beast So while Eazy-E up at Ceders I'm hustling off my beeper Playing the diggy Doc on my grandmama's speakers Teachers kick me out of cla** So fast And all of my O.G.'s had my back so fast So who you think I trusted? Eyes closed when I'm jumped in Brainwashed beef made k**ing feel like it's nothing From a gang that started out as just a car club Other gangs popping so Satanas got to arming up And now I work to end all the k**ing My peers in the street corrupted our young children If you really from the days that you claim Then why would you want our kids to go through the same thang? From P.R. to Hellside, Sarzana to Flipside Asia Boys to JEFROX T.R.G. on the east side I really wanna see up grow old I know that going to war is all the homie's really know Them Temple Street T.L's AKRHO and Tau Gamma Them school yards, Bahala Nas This is my plea to see some peace For all our fallen brothers R.I.P. it with me [Hook]
