Lyrics Where I'm From - Lukas Graham, Wiz Khalifa

Where I'm From

I’m not forgettin' where I’m comin' from
But I won’t forget where I’m goin'
I’ve worked too hard for me to not go on
You don’t know what it’s like where I’m from
Oh man
Used to be the young one, now I turned to a grown man
Always gotta put on for my soldiers, fallen
Gotta run to it when I hear that money callin' (Brr)
Stand up
Can’t be a lil' ass kid 'bout shit no more, gotta man up
It ain’t about you at the end of the day, you got things you gotta handle
When they ask me why I go so hard, I blame that on where I came from
Pittsburgh, when it come to niggas I’m the realest version
Smoke good, man it’s KK, you should see in person
Niggas hate when you come up, and this shit disturbin'
So much in my bank account, made a nigga nervous
Like, «What I’m gon' do with all that?»
Go hard and never fall back, tryna maintain
Focused on havin' good habits, if it work once, do the same thing
Pave the way for the people comin' up after me, to take the same lane
Been the same way since I came in the game, ain’t a nigga ain’t changed, mane
I’m not forgettin' where I’m comin' from
But I won’t forget where I’m goin'
I’ve worked too hard for me to not go on
You don’t know what it’s like where I’m from
Oh, oh, woah
You know I didn’t do it alone
Oh, oh, woah
Before you’re right you gotta do it wrong
I, I made a habit out of seein' goals and passing 'em
Don’t change up or get distracted, I got
Friends back from the get go
Some I had to let go
If they still with me they know that I got
Your back, no matter where, no matter when
If He takes you, I’ll take care of the family 'til the end
So you’ll know I was a real one when you see my face again
But for now, a toast to all the things we ever dreamt
Come a long way, since the street gates
Workin' long days, long nights
Wasn’t always happy, fun and ball games
But we made it one hell of a ride
I’m not forgettin' where I’m comin' from
But I won’t forget where I’m goin'
I’ve worked too hard for me to not go on
You don’t know what it’s like where I’m from
Oh, oh, woah
You know I didn’t do it alone
Oh, oh, woah
Before you’re right you gotta do it wrong
Oh, oh, woah
You know I didn’t do it alone
Oh, oh, woah
Before you’re right you gotta do it wrong
