Came From
by Anik Khan

Verse 1
Do you know where we came from?
Do you know what we had to get away from?
Do you know where this pain from?
Them boats we rode wasn't vacation
Do you know why we work hard?
You see the cashier or just pay for your order?
Do you see why she grieving?
Kids hungry for a meal, pulling doubles just to feed them
Do you know why he tearing?
Turban on his head, and you see him as a demon
Do you know why we do this?
Have you felt a mother's pain, do you taste it in her food
You take it with you to school
It's smells, it kill the mood
You might as well be rude
But you know you ain't a fool cause—
This shit bussin'
Cool kids thinking you dusty
They not from third world country
On a mission to show 'em something they can't see
Brown and black magic the only thing that еnchant me
It's a miracle I'm herе, so I'm flashy
Bunch of badman, benz parked on Delancey, yeah
Came a long way from a Camry, yeah
More than salt and pepper in the pantry, yeah
We gon' be everything that you can't be, yeah
I know these foreigners understand me

Chorus
Haiyaya ya, wo wo
Ay look how far we come, look how much we've done
Haiyaya ya, wo wo
Ay look who we've become, we only just begun

Verse 2
Yeah I know where I came from
Yeah I know what I had to get away from
How we find dedication, when genocide lasts generations?
Yeah I know separation
Your father at work so long he ain't raise ya
You see him on occasion, and he couldn't show love, now it's what you run away from
Yeah I know what I'm made of
Since nine, I've been a translator
My parents weren't able
Don't you worry, I got it
You know I'ma keep it honest
We gon' talk about our image
The poor and the privileged
The eat, pray, love, and don't love our village
Born with gorillas, we not around vultures
They couldn't understand my culture
I been in America, carry it like a holster
This for every mother who couldn't afford Folgers
Every single brother who putting it on his shoulders
Ain't nothing in this world that could fold us

Chorus
Haiyaya ya, wo wo
Look how far we come
Look how much we've done
Haiyaya ya, wo wo
Ay look who we become
We only just begun
Woah oh

 Look how far we come
Oh, look who we become
Oh, yeah
