Sittin' here, guess I didn't make bail |
|
Got time and a story to tell |
|
Started when I was nine years old |
|
Woke up, my daddy was gone |
|
I started hustlin', they couldn't tell me nothin' |
|
Frontin' in the hood tryin' to be somebody |
|
My soul was on empty, I was searchin' for something |
|
Tried to be good |
|
Tried to keep from trouble |
|
Livin' too fast |
|
Tryin' to make good on a hustle |
|
Sometimes it gets rough |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Times got hard, yeah |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Sometimes you gotta walk to work, yeah |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt, yeah |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Wasn't really lookin', guess, I found it |
|
Five foot three, light brown skin |
|
Comin' from the University |
|
Nice style, lookin' kinda lovely |
|
Didn't know she had much game |
|
Down to ride out, even take the train |
|
Even took her to a poker game |
|
Top notch from fried chicken to Sushi |
|
Tried to be good |
|
Tried to treat you like a lady |
|
Tried to be a friend |
|
Turned out that you were shady |
|
Sometimes it gettin' lonely |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Things ain't what they seem to be |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Sometimes you get a little angry, yeah |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Times you get the best of me |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Well, tried to be good |
|
Wanted nothing but to love somebody |
|
Didn't wanna die young |
|
Steady hustlin', tryin' to feed my family |
|
Too scared to have kids |
|
And do like daddy did |
|
'Cuz I'm so scared of failin' |
|
Sometimes it gets hard |
|
Comin' from where 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 bit louder |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Sometimes you gotta fight the pain , yeah |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Sometimes you gotta walk alone, yeah |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Sometimes you get a little worried, yeah, yeah |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
|
Sometimes you get lost outta touch, oh |
|
(Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from) |
