Spliff big like gas cylinder, man a beat like gong

Ayy, hummer beat, bwoy retreat when him hear di ting slam
Dem say dreadlocks nuh play inna no bang-a-rang
And anyweh we go, we 'tand strong

Alright den, nuh pass yuh place and nuh cross di line
And nuh ask mi weh me from, cah mi nuh hard fi find
And the nation weh stand up pon, di castle mine
Right now mi a guh roll up another spliff, it just pass mi mind
Lowe di music, lowe di weed, a poverty cause di crime
Anytime yuh see di rastaman, nuh ask fi mine
Vampire dem a go in a mastermind
Seh dem huntin' blood samples, hard fi find
Alright, dis dem fi know (more fire)
Anyting yuh reap, a dat yuh sow (murda)
Hands haffi clean and yuh hart haffi pure
Light up di chalice and mi tell dem go
Rastafari eva safe and secure

If unnu mess wid wi, you a guh see a million
We natty, it can guh long just like di Amazon
Spliff big like gas cylinder, man a beat like gong

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DJ Khaled's song WHERE YOU COME FROM are heavily influenced by Jamaican culture and reggae music. The song reflects on the struggles and challenges faced by people in the streets and how they stand strong in the face of adversity. The lyrics are written in Jamaican patois, a language spoken in Jamaica and some parts of the Caribbean. Throughout the song, Khaled references his Jamaican roots and the Rastafarian faith.


The opening lines of the song are typical of Khaled's style, as he calls out his signature catchphrases and proclaims his superiority over other musicians. The first verse features references to the Rastafarian dreadlocks and how they are perceived in society. Khaled addresses the ignorant individuals who ask where he's from and makes it clear that he won't be intimidated by them. He also pokes fun at those who underestimate him by calling out the "hummer beat" that scares off his opponents.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the strength of the Rastafarian community and how they can go "long just like di Amazon". Khaled also takes pride in their big spliffs and the beats they create, asserting that they "stand strong" wherever they go. The second verse touches on social issues such as poverty, crime, and corruption in Jamaica. Khaled calls for clean hands and pure hearts and encourages the people to rise up against the oppressors. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, affirming the strength and resilience of the Rastafarian community.
