[Verse 1]
|
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
|
|
[Pre-chorus]
|
Tried to be good; Tried to keep from trouble
|
Livin too fast; Tryin to make good on a hustle
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
Some times you gotta walk to work (yeah)
|
Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
|
Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
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
|
She's top notch from fried chicken to sushi
|
|
[Pre Chorus]
|
Tried to be good, (I tried) tried to treat you like a lady
|
Tried to be a friend, turned out that you were shady
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Sometimes it gets lonely
|
Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
|
Thangs aint what they seem to be
|
Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
|
Sometimes you get a little angry
|
Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
|
Sometimes you get the best of me
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Well, tried to be good (I tried)
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Comin from where I'm, 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
|
Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
|
Sometimes you gotta walk alone
|
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 outta touch
|
Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
|
Sometimes I think I pray a little bit too 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
|
