What was it like for you growing up?
I come from a small cities.
I come from a city where people get killed
I come from a place where most people take the easy way out
I come from hard times.
I come from a cities where most kids don't want to be from.
I come from poverty and lottery.
I come from a place where the wind always blow.
I come from want to be thugs, fighting, and rapping.
I am from PONTIAC.
