House Of Pain - Where I'm From [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

That's Where I'm From X2

Back in the hood we used to drop mad L
Contemplating hell
The stories I could tell would
Freak your mind
And wreck your brain
The thoughts I would have
Would drive most insane
Divine playin' Rain
Gettin' Down wit' Jimi
Hendrix, and Page
Big up to Rage
Back in to the Hood in
Bilal's back yard
Me and D was starvin'
And times were hard
Danny used to roll through
Schemin' on the hustle
Credit cards and slanging
And MC bangin'
Lethal used to come with his reel to reel
We didn't have no deal
But that wasn't the point, we'd...
Rock a funky joint
Then we'd rock another
The only thing to eat
Was some bread, and peanut butter
So big up to all the females that fed me
In case you ever wondered
Did he forget me?
These are the times that I always think of
And this is dedicated to the ones I love

[Chorus]

That's where I'm from
Where're you goin' if you don't look back
What's the use of havin' ends
If you lose all your friends X4

Paintin' on the wall
Ten years gone by
Playin' on the stereo
With the volume kinda up
Scheme Team's comin'
Bring me along
We gonna throw a hot party
Till' the break of dawn
With the Soul prophets of Soul Poetry
Chameleon, Kalonjee , Divine and Cockni
Bring a tab and a 40 and a bag of weed
That's all I need G
Cause I ain't Greedy
Trippin' for days
Runnin' the maze
Goin' down to Venice
Sippin' on the Guinness
These are the times that I always think of
And this is dedicated to the ones I love

[Chorus]

Now times have change
And I'm on tour
And I don't see my friend every day no more
And cause they don't see me
They think I've changed
But I'm the same motherfucker no doubt
What's it all about
I thought we was people
I'm tryin' to get mine
I thought you had my back
Man, I can't understand
They used to slap my hand
Ask me for a grand
And run wit' your man
Behind my back and diss me
If you wanna fuck me
First ya gotta kiss me

[Chorus] X3
