(Where you from?)
I'm from a place were the streets are filled with snakes that smile in your face as they plot to do wrong
(Where you from?)
I'm from a town where the mans will take you down if they see you making pounds and flashing it around like you the don
('Cause where I'm from?)
They don't give a f** if you got talent, only got love for your bank balance like, "Give me the wong!"
(That's where I'm from)
Don't ever get it twisted. Yeah I'm really, really from the ends now what the f** you want?
I'm walking down the street, past the coppers on the beat
Past the shotters blotting weed
Clear for everyone to see, but no-one gives a D
'Cause this is everyday life
f** the police
It's a ghetto state of mind
'Cept where I'm living I can't see no ghetto, this ain't America, it's England, where we live ain't nothing special
You can take anywhere and call it a ghetto
Same way you make cyanide, same way you make amaretto
Hip-hop's in the street, now were all busting *ecko;
50 Cent's on MTV, now it's cool to carry metal
Objects
Now the object is to k**
How can you value life when you're so close to d**h? Stainless steel
How's it make you feel
Blud, holding that buckey?
Knowledge is power, guns just make you feel lucky
It's f**ry the way these yout' man like to go on, busting shots in the crowd when there's a show on, they're just putting a show on
Real gangsters stay underground like non-fiction, they don't fire blanks at Yanks like when Nas played at Brixton
Thrill seeking dickheads just doing it for kicks and
Hear a next man speak their name from his lips and
Give a guy props for licking shots from a gun like if they fired one at him the f**ing prick wouldn't run. It's like they're
Praising these yout's for acting so dumb and it's no excuse
Most of us are fatherless sons
(Where you from?)
I'm from a place were the streets are filled with snakes that smile in your face as they plot to do wrong
(Where you from?)
I'm from a town where the mans will take you down if they see you making pounds and flashing it around like you the don
('Cause where I'm from?)
They don't give a f** if you got talent, only got love for your bank balance like, "Give me the wong!"
(That's where I'm from)
Don't ever get it twisted. Yeah I'm really, really from the ends now what the f** you want?
Yo, where you from?
Are you really from the ends? Well that depends on what the f** you mean by ends, if you south of the Thames, then nah, I ain't from them ends
I'm from these ends, they call it the Eastend, my friend
And round here you gotta watch your back 'cause everyone's bent
Bare man who think they're rough just 'cause they're shotting the peng
Hating on Plan B 'cause they don't know me as Ben
Yout's as young as ten walking round thinking they're men
They're under the influence, and I ain't even talking 'bout d**
I'm talking bout why the f** they're walking like thugs
They're in love with the idea of being a gangster, romantic idealisms producing hot jism like a wa*ker
What ever happened to good old fashioned street fighting like Blanka?
Queensbury Rules, mate, that's how I vent anger
Vent my anger
Knock out your teeth if you bring me beef
Leave you looking like a chief
Where you from blud, where you from?
What's your name?
(Where you from?)
Plan B? Yeah I've heard of you, still
Yeah yeah, you're f**ed up, you're f**ed up
('Cause where I'm from?)
Yeah, yeah, that's cool though
(Thats' where I'm from)
Give me your phone, anyway
Give me your phone
I don't give a sh**
Give me your phone, blud
Don't make me jibb you up
You see this blade and I'll cut your throat
