[Chorus: Tory Lanez]
Niggas can't stop my team from eating
Niggas tryna roll up on you, creeping
Niggas can't stop the kid from breathing
Niggas can't stop the kid from dreaming
Hard time streets, that's where I'm from
Dark vibe streets, that's where I'm from
Hard knock life, that's where I'm from
Cold nights, guns, that's where I'm from, I'm from
[Verse 1: Futuristic]
Yo
Long days, cold nights since the start of it
Rappin' in the start of it, blowin' Nintendo cartridges (Yeah)
Knew that I was destined for greatness back in my momma crib (Yeah)
She moved me to the block when niggas shot at me, I'm off of it
Yo, this takes dedication, ain't have no reservations
Addicted to this life, anxiety from separation
I keep the fakes away, from snakes I need my segregation
Nice nigga, but I throw the hands without no hesitation
This shit is different now, I'm livin' how I used to dream it
Wake up on a yacht next to my ladies, what I'm used to seein'
The king of things is what I'm used to bein'
Used to be at bus stops, now I'm in the whip that's black and European
Took the team to Europe, Tulum, Jamaica then out to Egypt
Than Australia for some shows, I had to run the fee up
Made some tea so they could feel the same as me, I had to re-up
Celebrate, we pop champagne on the plane where I lay my feet up
This shit is crazy, lookin' back at my beginnings (True)
Through the failures and the losses I always came out the winner (Big facts)
They can't stop me, I was built to make a difference
I was dreamin', now I live it and I did it independent, come on
[Chorus: Tory Lanez]
Niggas can't stop my team from eating
Niggas tryna roll up on you, creeping
Niggas can't stop the kid from breathing
Niggas can't stop the kid from dreaming
Hard times streets, that's where I'm from
Dark vibes streets, that's where I'm from
Hard knock life, that's where I'm from
Cold nights, guns, that's where I'm from, I'm from
[Verse 2: Mark Battles]
Don't say you love me baby, that shit make me anxious
'Cause every time it felt like love, that's when they left me hangin'
You know that pain feel different if you don't deal with it
And disappointment feel worse if you don't heal first
I'm still fightin' for my dream, I hope it still work
Ready to fight off anything because I'm still hurt
I'm from a city where your neighborhood the real church
Stop your life before it start just like a still birth
A chill Earth, cold world but I still smirk
Won't take my smile, been on trial for a long while
Ain't committin' crimes, I'm just guilty of a different mind
No finish line, full speed 'til I get to shine (Yeah)
The picture ain't fully painted, I just hit my prime
The world is sick of us complainin' but we sick of dyin'
We don't have no dads around so what we learnin' from
My pops left when I was young, I had to get it done
She keep sayin' I'm the one but we just havin' fun
Love don't come with no insurance so I hit and run
The bullets kill you where I'm from, I had to get a gun
I kept believin' and kept dreamin', now let's have a run
[Chorus: Tory Lanez]
Niggas can't stop my team from eating
Niggas tryna roll up on you, creeping
Niggas can't stop the kid from breathing
Niggas can't stop the kid from dreaming
Hard times streets, that's where I'm from
Dark vibes streets, that's where I'm from
Hard knock life, that's where I'm from
Cold nights, guns, that's where I'm from, I'm from
[Verse 3: Chuuwee]
Yeah, hey
And I gotta own the things I rap about just for my pride
Every morning when I ride, just a challenger outside
Shit, making mimes, don't know why you never try it
Pocket watchin' from the side, you'd be better off just dyin'
Right now I feel so alive, ain't no ladder we was climbin' to the top
We took no [?] stay persistent and do time
Studied every rhyme, tryna catch me in a lie
I was studyin' the game, knowledge got me on a rise
Look my baby in her eyes, can't believe I gave you life
And I put that on the 9, I'll do anything for [?]
I see all these niggas trife, show they colors, UV light
And it's colder still at night, they ain't too happy I survived, yeah
[Chorus: Tory Lanez]
Niggas can't stop my team from leading
Niggas tryna roll up on you, creeping
Niggas can't stop the kid from breathing
Niggas can't stop the kid from dreaming
Hard times streets, that's where I'm from
Dark vibes streets that's where I'm from
Hard knock life, that's where I'm from
Cold nights gone, that's where I'm from, I'm from
[Outro: Tory Lanez]
Where I'm from, I'm from
Where I'm from, I'm from
