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