Diligent and focused, David Versis is a part of the new generation of hip-hop. His music is as versatile as the wide range of influences that have shaped him to be the artist he is today. Being raised in a musical family gave Versis all the ammunition he needed to develop his own artistic identity. Apart from singing and rapping, David dabbles in a handful of instruments including piano, drums and bass, all self taught. His main instrument of choice though, is guitar: both acoustic and electric.
“I feel as though there is a certain authenticity within my music that utilizes my various influences, without compromising who I am as an artist. Hip-hop has evolved into a genre that not only accepts a wide range of sounds, approaches, and styles, but calls for it. While this has forced other artists to widen their perspective, I am naturally a product of a mosaic of musical styles.”
Influenced by a fusion of genres and artists, Versis is inspired by the legacy of greats from Biggie to Jimmy Hendrix, Outkast to the Beatles, Jay Z to Elvis Presley, and plans to one day achieve similar success.
David Versis music is lyrical, with heart. His sound is soulful, but progressive. His delivery is astounding and his content vibrant. You can live each experience word for word.
Where You From
David Versis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's kind've funny, cause like, they hear my shit
And they're like, "Where's he from?"
"I can't tell"
That's cause I'm from everywhere
And from nowhere
I am from another planet everybody's like, "Who is he?"
He looking like a g, like the backwards D on Disney
Making Family Channel money homie I ain't really picky
I'm sitting on Pluto, just sipping out a Mickey
Now it's got me feeling Goofy so I'm swerving in my Mini
This shit is hard to drive though, bitch don't even fit me
I can tell you are offended, nobody can defend me
I'm consistently balling all of y'all are rocking pinnies
I listen to new music, I think that shit's weak
I drop several tracks, that's only this week
Rappers looking artificial they all look like Mystique
I got nothing left to say, Imma let my dick speak
Please do not the mistake of ever thinking I am bluffing
If my dick could tell you something, it'd tell you I am coming
A hundred miles and running, I only speak the truth
Now I'm bumping House of Pain, and I'm chilling on the roof
(Holla at me)
Got these people all around, different kinds of faces
They all look me up and down, I can tell that they are haters
Every time I come through, I got their faces looking dumb
Bodies feeling numb
So they come and they ask me, "where you from?" (woo woo)
Where you from (ah)
Where you from (woo woo)
Where you from (woo)
They ask me (woo), "where you from?" (woo woo)
Where you from (ah)
Where you from (woo woo)
Where you from (woo, ah)
Yeah
Can't blame me got my head full
I am so fly I sprout wings no Red Bull
Elbows on the table, no etiquette
Throwing away the same things y'all will never get
Homie I'm a veteran
Homie I am better than these dudes who say they sick cause if they sick then I'm the medicine
Bitch ass flow, like they words are pumped with estrogen
Versis is the answer homie please do not go question him
Girls attempt impressing him, I mean impressing me
Ho-homie this my destiny, wa-watch how you addressing me
I-Imma be in this for life, you know Imma never leave
Imma murder every single track until it rest in peace
So don't say I rap, homie say I RIP
I got my own stash, it ain't on my upper lip
Insane, got game, dropped dames, so you could say I know how Hova feels
I'm a monster in my city, Cloverfield
People all around, different kinds of faces
They all look me up and down, I can tell that they are haters
Every time I come through, I got their faces looking dumb
Bodies feeling numb
So they come and they ask me, "where you from?" (woo woo)
Where you from (ah)
Where you from (woo woo)
Where you from (woo)
They ask me (woo), "where you from?" (woo woo)
Where you from (ah)
Where you from (woo woo)
Where you from (woo, ah)
