Where I'm From
Where I’m from its either kill or be killed
you either dealing drugs or tryna sign a deal
cant even sleep at night
you up praying you could sign for a Mill
don’t have no food to eat
really you would sign for a meal
keep that tool and heat
wont give us jobs so we gotta steal
making a fool of me
cuz they gone put me in a prison still
lock me up in steel
throw away the key
then paint pictures of a monster all on New Channel 3
a man without a choice is who I be
a criminal is what you see
whole world dogging me out
I’m tryna hold on like a flea
don’t know what rappers talking about
don’t think they learned they ABC’s
1 time for my brothers killing over 23’s
1 time 2 my momma single mother raised 3
from playing Uno at the crib
to overdosing on trees
then shooting treys at the gym
and still a genius don’t you see
I just said my Spanish 123’s
playing uno, overdosing, shooting treys
don’t you get it
Uno, Dos, Tres
think its how I spit it
words slurred
barely went to college
would’ve stayed longer
but my high school didn’t teach me the proper knowledge
teachers didn’t want to stick around
we had old books
even our school was getting hand me downs
barely notes took
everybody wanna be the class clown
The system looking like who laughing now
they passing laws
I wish I passed economy
cuz I don’t know what they mean
like stand your ground means I’m dead on the scene
inhaling green
just to deal with the blues
from this blue and green world
everybody changing up
is that boy or is that a girl
things switching up
and watch your back cuz they’ll hurt ya
OG’s calling shots that’s getting little kids murdered
little kids shooting shots and getting lock away for murder
Mentally encaged physically cant go no further
than where I’m from!
