where i'm from
Where i'm from
I'm from the 502 where all we knew was shoot
Where all we knew was if u want it go get it
It was hard growing up in the places i grew up in
But when u made a mistake u learned from it
I'm from stay to yourself and trust nobody
Not even your family
Even your closest friends will turn they back on you
I'm from staying low and don't tell nobody your business
Cuz when one person finds out everybody knows and that makes you a target
And if your a target that makes everything 10x worse
I'm from only trusting 4 people with my life
I’m from growing up different acting different
Reacting different i’m from showing my wrong but not hiding my right
I’m from losing the people that better me
And pushing away the people that bring me down
I’m from thuggin by myself watching junkies shoot up with a needle
I’m from watching people od cuz they chose to go down that road
I’m from trying to better myself
I’m from praying that God won’t take my life every night
