Lyrics

Sitting here, guess I didn' make bail Got time and a story to tell Started when I was nine years old Woke up and daddy was gone I started hustling and the couldn't tell me nothing Fronting in the hood, trying to be somebody My soul was on empty I was searching for something Tried to be good Tried to keep from trouble Living too fast Trying to make a good hustle Sometimes it gets rough Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Times got hard Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes you gotta walk to work Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Wasn' really looking guess I found it Five foot three light brown skinned Coming from the university Lifestyle looking kind of lovely Didn't know she had much game Down to ride out, even take the train Even take her to a poker game Top notch fried chicken and sushi Tried to be good Tried to treat you like a lady Tried to be your friend Turned out that you were shady Sometimes it gets lonely Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Some times ain't what they seem to be Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Some times would get the best of me Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Well, tried to be good (I tried, I tried) Wanted nothing but to love somebody Didn't want to die young Steady hustling trying to feed my family Too scared to have kids and like daddy did 'Cause I'm so scared of failing Sometimes it gets hard Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes you gotta moan Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes you gotta cry a little louder Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes you gotta fight the pain Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes you get a little worried Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes you get lost out of touch Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes I think I pray a little to much Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from Sometimes I get a little scared Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
