Lyrics:
Siba Giba
Cause where I’m from they always got your back L.E.S. The foundation. New York where you at. NYC, nineteen eighty, infested with crack Street cats taught me well, had to adapt Love and respect, did we forget that in 2020, my vision, always to give back Put in the time, grind, to refine your craft Capital, top of the line, like paragraph. Ladi Dadi was the first page Lost the french accent at an early age Kids makin’ fun of me, hoods kept sonnin’ me. Wanna keep my lunch money, shorty had to find the key. Music & Hip-Hop, they changed my life Mom & Pops gave me the light, Huh Push to create, educate, to elevate The mind set, money well spent.
Chorus (Von)
Where I’m From The red, white and blue wave The guns or the drug trade A home that the streets made Where I’m From The red, white and blue wave The guns or the drug trade A home that the streets made
Von
I’m in the pocket like the paper fold Making money on the manifold, stay gold Grow old but remain bold, I been told Kung fu grip, tight hold, ice cold It’s like a battle field. Firearms body shieldsI f you call it how you see it then you know the deal From the Boogie, in the city where it all jumps Spray cans, handstand to a base thump Hard rocks, b boys on a beat box There I am. Born and bred. Love and hip hop F–k em all. It’s your ball and your word here Front street get too hot for you to stand there Ain’t that a bitch….at the door and never play fair All they talk about is bullshit and fanfare From what I hear, where you live got all the same shit, until you getting out That’s why we don’t quit
Chorus
Kiambu
Uptown sugar hill, 45th and riverside Sunny days in Harlem nights Afro picks and black pride Light skinned nappy hair black boy with chinky eyes Called me yellow Picking fights, told me that I talked white That’s all right I know what’s right, Home life was mad tight Loving fam had a plan Raise a boy into a man Beef with pops beef with cops But not for selling crack rocks Got locked five times,Good kid – Hard times Couldn’t cry I Turned to rhymes Air it out loud and proud I don’t fight I always win, Know the outcome going in Lead with heart not my chin Add it up and make a blend Balance out the yang and ying Plant a seed and grow again
Chorus
