Lyrics by：Kiari Kendrell Cephus

Composed by：Kiari Kendrell Cephus

Offset：

Uh nobody you know what I'm sayin'

Nobody nobody thought a n***a would be right here

Though you know

That s**t make like that s**t make that s**t make a difference in me and you

You was supposed to be here n***a

N***a I wasn't 'posed to be in this motherf**ker

Man you know what I'm sayin'

Give all the glory to God and hard work

But you n***as gotta respect this s**t

I'm straight from the

Where I'm at

Where

Where I go

How

How did I get here

How did I get here

Walk around with a Smithfield

Smithfield

I'm from the south had a gold grill

Gold grill

Remember doin' shows in Mobile

Mobile

Go against me and it's roadkill

Roadkill

Wakin' up to see the sunrise

Sunrise

I turned five I got baptized

Baptized

We was livin' up in College Park

College Park

Midnight heard the gunfight

Gunfight

Playin' football at Forest Park

Forest Park

Gresham Park where your moment get defined

Get defined

The story of my life

The life

Way before I ever wrote a rhyme

Way before

Have you ever done time

Time

Lookin' at my kids through the blinds

Blinds

Confinement mind

Confinement

How you feelin' when you face a dime

Time

The truth be told

Told

I'm supposed to be locked up and dead cold

Cold

In the mind of an old

He cold white man the black man soul

Felt like I was born on Mars

Mars

Everybody starin' too hard

Starin'

They didn't really think I was a star

They didn't really

Then I f**ked around beat the odds

F**ked around

How did I get right here

How did I

Neck wrist on chandelier

Chandelier

Made me wanna drop some tears

Tears

Thankin' God that I switched gears

Whooo

I'm from another lightyear I'm a Martian

Martian

One-third of a human just partial

One third

I'm the Sergeant the Captain the Marshal

Serge

I start to barf it was too much potion

Too fast everything in slow motion

I get the cash and my money keep grossin'

Get the cash

Popped a bottle champagne we toastin'

Suicide doors on the coupe when they open

Skrrt

They didn't believe in me

Nah

Check the stats number one you see

You see

I bet my haters can't breathe

N***a don't even compare to me

Nah

Street n***as we rare unique

We rare

We can f**k 'em by the pair by the three

By the pair

Chopper soundin' like a snare in a beat

Like a snare

I'm from the A I love your a*s it's a peach

Peach

Where I'm from n***as cash don't lease

Cash

Where I'm from the stick's on the backseat

Stick sticks

Where I'm from police put you six feet

A lot of bums and they sleepin' on the street

Bums

Yeah yeah that's at home

Yeah

N***a go back to your fam' where you dead wrong

Go back

Miss my dawg dead and gone

Miss him

I can hear his voice telling me "Don't go along"

Pistol

Yeah the money can't fix that

Nah

Dirty money had to rinse that

Dirty money

I try my hardest not to look back

I try

Not too long ago a n***a would've took that

Gimme that

This for my n***as had to cook packs

Cook cook

Million dollar trap fall 'cause of one rat

Rats

Yeah ain't no comin' back

Yeah

How I made it out the jungle yeah without a scratch

Hey

Where I'm at

Where

Where I go

How

How did I get here

How did I get here

Walk around with a Smithfield

J. Cole：

Baptized at First Baptist Church

The pastor name was Reverend Johnson

Okay

Chastised his shirt and matchin' shoes

But had to front it never bothered him

Okay

Hurt his pride but he swallowed it

Okay

Dirt is all that he spotted

And in the dirty south where bodies pilin' up

So high they block the birds and rerouted 'em

D**n

Plenty murderers had observers but

You never heard a peep out of them

So many funerals it ain't enough numerals to keep count of them

Woah

Look I'm just settin' the scene

Back when I stared at the phone as I'm lettin' it ring

Another collector they leave us a message

My mama in deficit must intervene

I bust out the seams I'm gettin' too big for these britches now

I invest in the dream I'm destined for green

I got superstar d**k for these b***hes now

I got superstar d**k for these b***hes now

And I think about that when I dig 'em out

When I dig 'em out when I dig 'em out
