[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm in whatever USA, zip code so far away
Can't remember the name, Google Map to locate
I'm chillin' with some Notre Dames, show me how the South bends
And my dogs hold me down when we show up in Athens
Back then, we had dreams of being famous and shit
Was such a rebel as a kid, I could've went to Ole Miss
I never stress it anymore, you know I'll go with the vibe
My chick in Alabama told me I should roll with the tide
No lie, I'm such a Leo at Penn State, I'm a lion
Got everyone comin' after me at Duke like I'm Zion
I know a Harvard girl, she always got a lot on her mind
She sent me a million texts, but yo I hardly reply
You know why? Got a girl in Mississippi and Kentucky
And one in Vegas, so she always gettin' lucky, ooh

[Chorus 1]
But it don't matter where you came from
It just matter where you end up, if you end up with me
Got a chick in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Don't gotta ask me "Who's your girl?" in Indiana, ooh
But it don't matter where you came from
It just matter where you end up, if you end up with me

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm in whatever USA, zip code don't wanna say
Can't remember the name, new city like every day
Got women flashin' me when I'm in Tulane, it ain't Mardi Gras
Out in Arizona these Wildcats wanna party hard
I feel like Van Wilder, I'm onto my seventh year
I snap my fingers and women just appear, let me make it clear
You and your friends are tens, I'm down to volunteer
Pull up, climb in my van, just like a mountaineer
I'm here for a minute then I'm Gonzaga
Hardest workin' rapper prolly sellin' shows in Montana
Tell them hoes it don't matter, I go state to state like I'm transferin'
NCAA, new chick always answerin'
Got a girl in College Station, down in Texas
And one in Memphis who remind me of my exes, ooh

[Chorus 2]
But it don't matter where you came from
It just matter where you end up, if you end up with me
Got a girl in Tallahassee and Miami
She really love me, told me I should win a Grammy, ooh
But it don't matter where you came from
It just matter where you end up, if you end up with me

[Outro]
Whatever USA
All American, all hits
