Where I'm From
Nate Dogg Feat. Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been on songs with S-N-double-O-P
Inside a Ferrari with the D-R-E
Run up I let it sing like Nate D-O-double-G
Walk through 8 Mile, G-Unit's on my feet
Got a cherry lowrider in the N-Y-C
Eve took me to Philly, never been to the pen
Been to Uptown with 50, seen niggas in Timbs
In Cashville, but Compton is {where I'm from}
Where it's just me, my son, and my bitch
She graduated when Notorious BIG dropped "Me & My Bitch"
She get them birds past, I put her in first class
And tell her to carry on that Dooney & Burke bag
She from Grape Street, she know how to work the mag
And only buy white tees, tell 'em to keep the purple tags
Cause the laces in my Chucks keep the beef crackin
I lay niggas out like creased khakis
In that G-wagon, lean like the 23's draggin
I got the whole N-Y-C saggin
If you don't know
(Aftermath, nigga witta attitude) (Game time niggas, Westside)
Where I'm from
(Nigga witta attitude) (Straight Outta Compton) (We rock khakis and Chucks)
If you don't know
(Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic) (Legend in the making)
Where I'm from
(Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels)
Y'all niggas got it fucked up
What you thought cause I'm from Compton I couldn't do numbers like Usher?
Platinum certified, nigga that's a mill' plus
Play both sides of the fence cause the Crips feel cause'
See me ridin with Nate, nigga it's still Blood
You can C-walk to this, homey it's still love
Nigga I've been bangin since Mary J did "Real Love"
(If you don't know) I painted the Rover black
The West coast is back, I can smoke to that
Moms got the CL-6, that's a fact
I bought the house, I'm just waitin on the platinum plaques
Niggas lookin for a cat to jack
Homey I'm willin to do two life sentences back to back
So please don't push me
You niggas is W-N-B-A, all pussy
If you don't know
(Aftermath, nigga witta attitude) (Game time niggas, Westside)
Where I'm from
(Nigga witta attitude) (Straight Outta Compton) (We rock khakis and Chucks)
If you don't know
(Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic) (Legend in the making)
Where I'm from
(Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels)
If you don't know
(Aftermath, nigga witta attitude) (Game time niggas, Westside)
Where I'm from
(Nigga witta attitude) (Straight Outta Compton) (We rock khakis and Chucks)
If you don't know
(Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic) (Legend in the making)
Where I'm from
(Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels)
The lyrics to Nate Dogg Feat. Game's song Where I'm From are a representation of their roots and what they have been through. Game is from Compton and he is proud of his B-L-double-O-D gang affiliation. He has collaborated on songs with Snoop Dogg, been in a Ferrari with Dr. Dre and to top it all off, he has had Nate Dogg sing on his tracks. He reminisces about walking through 8 Mile with G-Unit on his feet and having a cherry lowrider in New York City. Game has been taken to different places in America by Eve, seen Young Buck scuff Air Force Ones and been to Uptown with 50. Game is from Compton and that’s where he's learnt to handle the tough things that come along in life, just like the gangs do.
Game insists that the West Coast isn’t dead; he’s been banging since Mary J did “Real Love” and he’s had Platinum certified hits. He can still C-walk with the best of them and still loves his homies who have stayed with him even when he's ridden with Nate Dogg, a Blood. Game refers to WNBA as “all pussy”, which could be interpreted as a sly dig at any cowardly adversaries who may be thinking about starting a beef with him.

So please don't push me
I advise you not to provoke me
You niggas is W-N-B-A, all pussy
You are all weak and cowardly, like the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA)
