Comin' from Where I'm From (Radio Mix)

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
