I'm from Hartford, Where it's shoot or get shot

Where you're an Opp or a Thot, 

Where Bullets fly and Bodies drop.

I'm from Hartford where Women are disrespected and not made into a wife,

Where Girls don't go out the house without a Knife, 

Where you can be 15 but in a Cell doing Life

I'm from Hartford, Where mothers are burying their Sons, while their daughter's on the run, even little kids don't go nowhere without a Gun

I'm from Hartford, Where making it to 18 is a Miracle and 21 is a blessing, 

Where girls catching stains too, I promise you they finessing.

Hartford, Where when you part your way, Say stay safe and I love you, because they can die the next day. And you have to be the one to tell their mama but you don't know what to say.

I'm from Hartford where R.I.P. gets said everyday. 

I'm from Hartford, Where Mothers crying, Kids dying, Police lying, Opps riding, and I'm tired of trying to make Hartford better.

But this is the lifestyle you live, when you're from Hartford.
