Comin` From Where I`m From Lyrics

[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 

[2x]
