Where We Come From is the debut album from Jamaican superstar Popcaan. Executive produced by Dre Skull and featuring productions from Dre Skull, Dubbel Dutch, Jamie Roberts, Anju Blaxx and Adde Instrumentals, Popcaan's first full length offering sees his signature melodies and uplifting tones on thirteen original tracks. As musicologist Wayne Marshall writes,

“Where We Come From” gives voice, as the best reggae does, to the contradictions of life in a society rife with inequities and yet so rich. Whether odes to the ghetto or the good life, Popcaan's lyrics bring realist portraits and utopian visions into dynamic tension. Songs about struggle and sex and happiness occupy the same space because they do. And whatever the topic, Popcaan's infectious positivity comes through.”

Lyrics:

"This one's fi all di politician dem
Accurate

Inna you face dem a smile up
Behind you back a money dem a pile up
Try fi start you business and dem quick fi spoil up

Well done, well done, mr politician man
U done wonderful job a tear down we country demolition man
Well done, well done, mr politician man
U done such a great job a sellin out we country Wid u business plan

U fi get a round of applause
Fi all the work u doin
Decisions weh u mek weh lef di country inna ruins yo
Strictly personal gain u persuing
So the tax rate higher than the planes weh flew in
Fi go mek u deal wid IMF
Now we nah no bauxite nor no sugar cane left
The hotels and the beaches the spanish dem go screechie mi nuh know a how u dweet but all mi haffi say is well done

U keep poverty an unemployment on the rise
Corruption an not to mention the lies
Election a when the tension arrive
So u buy we Kentucky not to mention the fries
Anyting fi secure you vote
An then u rob the people fi secure u boat
Fi go a goat island weh the chinese own di whole jamaica is a chinese loan

If inflation was a test u woulda get A plus
So when me mek the US an di exchange rate buck
Caw the dollar gettin weaker
An the solar light bill it woulda cheaper
But a JPS u prefer keep ya
Ebaneezer, so u scruge pon di ghetto people, weh a starve an every year u buy a better vehicle,
Di tings u do a beat we bad
But still u manage to keep u job
Suh mi a tell u well done..."

Problems

a song about home. i freestyled this entire song with my producer Distant Plannet. and we ended up with what i like to consider a Hit song i just havent gotten my millions of views yet but in god we trust it will come. #Praying for #Home

GAMBLE G - HOME

ill call this song my love. 
a song i did years ago but somehow makes more sense now. it was lost and found. actually all of the songs are from some time ago and make more sense now. so take a listen and share jamaicas best hip hop.

My Love

A song about love. i understand myself more and more as i get older. and i know what i want in life now. or better yet i know what i need in life now. and i need to be happy. so i need money for my family then id feel a lot better. having a big house and nice car mean nothing if you cant share it with the ones you love (and pay the bills). So heres to all the Lovers who know what they want in life.

Lover

Ive been stuck in jamaica for 4 years on a court case for weed. i had to sign in  at the police station every week for years and they took my passport from me and said i was a flight risk.  My passport is a USA passport. i am a Dual citizen. i lost so many opportunities because of the state of the country here in Jamaica. Even selling weed doesn't make enough money, especially when you have 3 kids.  N the minimum wage is 50$ a week. that aint shit. I got my passport back now. paid a fine, took a charge, got my homies charges dropped. #RealLife now its time to get rich. #TellmyStory #20pounds of #Dreams 4 Years stuck for a misdemeanor.....

DO OR DIE

Not your average song about family. #FTP #GangGang
