Verse 1: Mystikal & Female singer

I heat up the way coffee be

Tasty like pastry

Got mo' flavors than parsley

With 9 aunties and 2 uncles

I got a lot of cousins, so watch how you talk to me

Good ol' places, good ol' times, doing good ol' thangs

That was just the good ol' days

Most of my people still look the same

All though we deep in the numbers

Our feelings is close as a lot's, ya heard me

We originated in Louisiana way back in the 1930's

On the farm of the son of Mr. and Mrs. John and Amanda Tyler

Hooked up with they daughter

Daughter Josephine the difference do you know what I mean

She was on the cotton field

He was on the farm where the cows get killed

Then they moved off the plantation

Then ??? came in a few mo' years

First came Rosa Lee, then Lawrence "June Bug", then Ana Lee

Then Louise and Alberta, then my mama came who they call Marie

Without a breather, um, here come Mary Alice, and Linda

Po' Grandma stayed bare foot, pregnant, and off-balance

Don't worry be happy

Whatever we got we was glad that we had it

After that, here come the last three, (Who was?)

Lois, Allen, and Kathy

Chorus

Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here)

Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here)

Tell me where you from round? (I'm from right chea)

Where's ya family, mighty family

Where's ya family, mighty family (from right chea)

[repeat]

Verse 2: Mystikal

And I'm just another kid

That come from one of the children of ma'dear and papa

One of beau coup grandchildren

Representing Lawerence and Elizabeth Tyler (like who?)

And my cousin Harry, cousin Becky

My cousins Davita and Larry

Rock and Walter, and Herbert and Meekie and Tiffany

Cynthia, and Dede, and Terry

Poncho, Erica and Junior

Mimi, Debra, Petey, Cheryl and Buster

Albert, Lil' Will, and Tasha, Trenette, Shirlet

Chorus: Mystikal & Female Singer

Verse 3: Mystikal

Now that you know about my family ties

And my family history, and my family size

I done took ya back five generations and broke it down for ya

Now haven't I

From great-grandparents to grandparents

Mamas and daddies and uncles and aunties

To all of my in-laws, nanas, parrains and nephews and nieces

From maw-maws and paw-paws

Stomachs still growing so the number increases

From sisters and brothers

Baby daddies, baby mamas, great cousins and play cousins

So watch how you look at me

You never know who I'm kin to when you passing

If you ain't in ya own back yard

Better be careful 'cause we just might ask ya

Chorus

Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here)

Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here)

Tell me where you from round? (I'm from right chea)

Where's ya family?, mighty family

Where's ya family?, mighty family (from right chea)

[repeat]

Latrelle & Mystikal till fade:

You better watch how you look at me

Cause I'm from here
