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
