作曲 : J. Cole [Verse 1] Am I changing right before your eyes? Becoming someone you don't recognize As if I was disguised, I'm on that shit as if I was the flies I'm touching skies, no puffing lye Man these songs that I made in my bedroom and shit Goin' finally give a nigga leg room in the whip From a Civic to a seven must've died and went to heaven Like a passenger on 9/11, please go find a reverend You see I promised that I'd never change But that was way before I made the dough and met the game Say hello to Miss Thang, I forgot yo name, she yellow And even white women want a nigga, Othello I'm balling with nuggets, like **** it I'm Carmelo Now the crib got much rooms, Portobello She drop it low and then she bust moves for the fellow I sit your ass down like you was playing a cello See, you niggas hated and I levitated further Knew I would kill the game, premeditated murder So if it comes down, may the best man win No sweat like a headband in, nigga
[Chorus] Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen You know it can't get no better for me No, it can't get no better for me Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen You know it can't get no better for me No, it can't get no better for me
[Verse 2] I'ma kill the game and invite witnesses No death penalty, I'm giving life sentences Like keep grinding boy, your life can change in one year And even when it's dark out, the sun is shining somewhere Yeah, look here I paid dues My own worst enemy so **** it, either way I can't lose 808's so my south niggas feel me Light-skinned it so the house niggas feel me She catch me creeping out your house she'll kill me Is it worth for what's under that blouse? My heart'll turn pitch black and cold if I split with my girl If I could gift-wrap the globe, I would give you the world But, do you love me like you used to? Even though I ain't that nigga that you're used to Remember back when I was broke? You would fix me Do you prefer the broke me or the rich me? The broke me couldn't buy you meals, not even a value meal And now I pay for everything, how you feel? Mixed feelings 'cause now all the chicks feeling him You gotta adapt though, I'm never going back
[Chorus] Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen Hey, you know it can't get no better for me No, it can't get no better for me Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen Hey, you know it can't get no better for me No, it can't get no better for me
[Outro] I can't keep running away I can't keep running away I swear I'm coming back one day Hey What if I'm wrong And I ain't got what it takes Then all them people that was counting on me Boy won't you climb down the mountain for me
