Tracy Morgan recently chopped it up with Genius, where he broke down lyrics from various artists, including Jay-Z’s “Where I’m From.”
Tracy explains in the video that he goes way back to growing up in Bed Stuy with Jay-Z, who lived in Marcy Houses, while Tracy lived in the Tompkins housing projects across the street. He then addressed the line, “And girls from the projects wouldn’t f**k us, said we talked too much/So they ran up to Tompkins and sought them dudes to trust/I don’t know what the f**k they thought, those n***as is foul just like us.”
