[Intro]
   GYeah
GOuuuu
GI'm from the weeeeest
[Verse 1]
GChe Che Che
GIgbo kwenu hey
GNaija boy they love how I accentuate
GMost my partners trynna ball like the NBA
GSo they out here moving products like it’s Mary Kay
GI don't knock 'em I just know the game
GThey ain’t slaves, they just really love the whips and chains
GThe more things change, the more things stay the same
GWhen I flow every corner see fire like I'm Kane
EmSo I spit fire, no extinguisher
CMight just teach Fat some Igbo Dto make her a bilingual
GSpeaker, keep up I'll teach ya to aim right with that thing you pull
Outcho britches when yo' finger itches Dmcause you ain't too keen to wool
Being pulled Gover yo got you pressed like a license plate
CYou a goofy if Lucy could press yo' buyttons and getcha heated like microwaves, G(ouu)
GYou, might just need to meditate
Get yo' mind out that vegetative Cstate
CIt's time to elevate
[Chorus]
GCause I came straight from Cout the slums
GSo I need a check like them Jordan 1S
I swear this for all of Cmy day ones
Out here Gmaking bread but they Ccame from Dcrumbs
[Verse 2]
ELook flow hotter than pepper spray
ESpit it for my kinky hair kinsmen that have been led astray
EMore than bullets from those who pull it in hopes to decimate
All they opps, cause on our Dblocks we learnt to regulate from
GWarren G, It’s kinda easy, Cwhen ya listen to that G’D up sound I had it on repeat, G(ouu)
Then I got it out the Emmud
EmWalked straight out the puddle
CWhere I'm from you yapping they start clapping Dlike it’s time to break the Ghuddle
GOuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
GReady break
GI remember eating free lunch with them heavy trays
Most my homeboys blew Emheavy haze after seventh grade
And most my Ghomegirls had oval edges with heavy lace
[Pre Chorus]
It's time to elevate C(yea)
GIf they hatin' baby let 'em hate, (yea)
You can see me shinin’ in the shade, C(yea)
GWe done came up on some better days
[Pre Chorus]
It's time to elevateC  
GIf they hatin' baby let 'em hate, (yea)
You can see me shinin’ in the shade, C(yea)
GWe done came up on some better days
[Bridge]
'Cus I came Emstraight from out Cthe Gslums,
So I need a check Emlike them CJordan G1S
I swear this for all Emof my Cday ones,
Out here Gmaking Embread but Cthey came from Dcrumbs
[Outro]
G'Cus I came straight from out the slums,
So I Emneed Ga check like them Jordan 1S
I swear Cthis for all of my day Gones,
GOut here making bread but they came from crumbs

[Intro]

Yeah

Ouuuu

I'm from the weeeeest

[Verse 1]

Che Che Che

Igbo kwenu hey

Naija boy they love how I accentuate

Most my partners trynna ball like the NBA

So they out here moving products like it’s Mary Kay

I don't knock 'em I just know the game

They ain’t slaves, they just really love the whips and chains

The more things change, the more things stay the same

When I flow every corner see fire like I'm Kane

So I spit fire, no extinguisher

C D

Might just teach Fat some Igbo to make her a bilingual

Speaker, keep up I'll teach ya to aim right with that thing you pull

Outcho britches when yo' finger itches cause you ain't too keen to wool

Being pulled over yo got you pressed like a license plate

C G

You a goofy if Lucy could press yo' buyttons and getcha heated like microwaves, (ouu)

You, might just need to meditate

Get yo' mind out that vegetative state

It's time to elevate

[Chorus]

G C

Cause I came straight from out the slums

So I need a check like them Jordan 1S

I swear this for all of my day ones

G C D

Out here making bread but they came from crumbs

[Verse 2]

Look flow hotter than pepper spray

Spit it for my kinky hair kinsmen that have been led astray

More than bullets from those who pull it in hopes to decimate

All they opps, cause on our blocks we learnt to regulate from

G C G

Warren G, It’s kinda easy, when ya listen to that G’D up sound I had it on repeat, (ouu)

Then I got it out the mud

Walked straight out the puddle

C D G

Where I'm from you yapping they start clapping like it’s time to break the huddle

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ready break

I remember eating free lunch with them heavy trays

Most my homeboys blew heavy haze after seventh grade

And most my homegirls had oval edges with heavy lace

[Pre Chorus]

It's time to elevate (yea)

If they hatin' baby let 'em hate, (yea)

You can see me shinin’ in the shade, (yea)

We done came up on some better days

[Pre Chorus]

It's time to elevate

If they hatin' baby let 'em hate, (yea)

You can see me shinin’ in the shade, (yea)

We done came up on some better days

[Bridge]

Em C G

'Cus I came straight from out the slums,

Em C G

So I need a check like them Jordan 1S

Em C

I swear this for all of my day ones,

G Em C D

Out here making bread but they came from crumbs

[Outro]

'Cus I came straight from out the slums,

Em G

So I need a check like them Jordan 1S

C G

I swear this for all of my day ones,

Out here making bread but they came from crumbs
