Where I come from everyone wants to know
Where I come from it's like a real action show
Sometime yo can't even go out a door
Because a bay loose corn out a door a blow

Where I come from sometime you haffi hide
Because the dream be hard for you to survive
Where I come from is not a bedda rose
Sometimes you haffi barrow an fling yo pride out a road

No let nobody come an tell you this, tell you this
No let nobody come an tell you that no

No let nobody come an tell you this, tell you this
No let nobody come an put yo back road

This is me from dream to reality
This is me striving for real tranquility
This is me seeking for repeace
Into the west, an as wi the east
Here I am standing proud as a man
Here I am so you all can understand
This is me on your TV
Turn on your radio an you surely hear me

No let nobody come an tell you this, tell you this
No let nobody come an tell you that no

No let nobody come an tell you this, tell you this
No let nobody come an put yo back road

Wipe my tears from my eyes
As a man sometimes I cry
Everybody try to figure out why
Poverty an now wi inna this yah real time

No let nobody come an tell you this, tell you this
No let nobody come an tell you that no

No let nobody come an tell you this, tell you this
No let nobody come an put yo back road
