Where I’m from The lights go off and on all night long Smelling gasoline and benjie when I was young Kids on a corner singing gospel songs and the people don’t stare at me like I’m wrong That’s where I’m from That’s where I’m from If wings don’t fly no more And tears don’t cry no more Where are you father holy Jah Jah On a desert road still the flower grows you fill my water holy Jah Jah Mama said it will be alright Only cause she wants me to sleep at night How much weight I can hold Before my heart turns cold Where I’m from The lights go off and on all night long Smelling gasoline and benjie when I was young Kids on a corner singing gospel songs and the people don’t stare at me like I’m wrong That’s where I’m from That’s where I’m from Long ago home sweet home Now I really wanna get back to you Yeah the fire in my heart can’t be cooled Every night we outside Longing for what money can’t buy We just wanna make it feel right And mama said it will be alright Only cause she wants me to sleep at night How much weight I can hold Before my heart turns cold Where I’m from The lights go off and on all night long Smelling gasoline and benjie when I was young Kids on a corner singing gospel songs and the people don’t stare at me like I’m wrong That’s where I’m from That’s where I’m from
