NaijaTalkTalk- LYRICS: Ink Edwards – We’re From Here

Ink Edwards

(Songwriter: Ink Edwards)

We’re from here
A small town somewhere
The same burdens we all bare
But how the government
views this is unclear
Before you pull out your
brooms and umbrella,
I’ll pause there
Aw yeah, All fair

So me and my friends
have dreams and mine
just happens to be music
Not much gives me
greater joy than to sing
create and have my best-friend produce it

And sometimes I look to him
and say, we just gotta
let the music sink in
Cause I don’t got no CV,
no LinkedIn
And I’m done with schooling,

no afters, no masters
That’s not the story
I want so I just pray
certain things come faster
But we’re okay,
we’re comfortable, we’re grateful

We know we’re blessed to
even be here,
God has been faithful
So I’m still playing
these beats writing dreams down
Thinking on how
everything seems now

Today I went to the movies
alone and no one bothered me
One guy said what’s up
but couldn’t remember
where he had seen or heard of me
Do I want to be the guy

who can’t walk through the mall?
Or the guy who spends
no time with his family at all
Is it all worth killing
for or do we just try?

Cause truth is some
people just die
And I don’t want to
look back when I’m 70
and just be some guy
And when I share my story

let the questions
be how and not why
The future is the
past you can change to me

So if you could decide
the story you want to
tell at dinner
20 years from today,
what’s it gonna be
So we could sit here

tonight and pave it out
Or we could hit the
strip club and wave it out
Go out tonight and
have a great time
Good music,
pretty women
and great wine
And the journey back to the car
we could barely walk a straight line

And we can’t tell if the girls
are pretty cause after 2 or 3
shots all women stay fine
So the girls dishing out lies
and we laughing at the taste
Cause if I hit it and my man hit it,

we call that girl a brace
Aw pardon me for talking like a waste
But truth is,
I pray to be blessed
to help and provide for someone
And to be a guide for someone
Cause some people don’t need much
Some people just need lunch

We’re from here
Give someone a hand today
Live out a story you’ll be proud to say
Cause if I bring happiness to a few
And you do the exact same too
There’s no telling what we could do
We’re from here
We’re from here.
