Protoje x Jahshii - Where We Come From (Lyrics)



If it’s up to me and God
We prove them wrong
(Prove them wrong)

We in the struggle but we still surviving
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don’t want to see youths rising
And if we make it out sure dem no like it (yeah)
See weh we come from, people don’t think they can live how they want (woah)
But leave it to me and I’m a prove them all wrong

Me tell you say them no real
Disguise how dem feel
Yuh mother tell you say if you no hear, you go feel
Now you behind bars and naa go get no appeal
Find out the lawyer work fi dem and now you naa get no deal

Crab in a barrel mentality (dem wah)
Fi pull yo down like gravity
Me haffi keep my sanity
But dem nuh know say me have my strategy

We in the struggle but we still surviving
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don’t want to see youths rising
And if we make it out sure dem no like it (yeah)
See weh we come from, people don’t think they can live how they want (woah)
But leave it to me and I’m a prove them all wrong

The struggle real yeah never make that worry me yet
Empty barrel make the noise but a money we make
Jah be me light inna the dark when me a touch the street
Me hear the lie weh dem a talk but me no believe them
Defy the odds, a so mi mean
Ghetto youths wake up and go fi dreams
Round ya suh we no get nothing free, no
Proto, we lead out

We in the struggle but we still surviving
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don’t want to see youths rising
And if we make it out sure dem no like it (yeah)
See weh we come from, people don’t think they can live how they want (woah)
But leave it to me and I’m a prove them all wrong

Yeah man a so we prove them wrong all the time
Me is a youth wah believe say life is a journey, you nuh
And me believe say you haffi determined, yuh hear that
No matter late or early
Yuh haffi work and count your blessings
And collect them with two hands open, yuh hear that
No matter the noise inna the market

We in the struggle but we still surviving
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don’t want to see youths rising
And if we make it out sure dem no like it (yeah)
See weh we come from, people don’t think they can live how they want (woah)
But leave it to me and I’m a prove them all wrong
