[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 
 [bad word]  
Tried to be good; Tried to keep from trouble 
Livin too fast; Tryin to make good on a hustle 
 [bad word]  
Sometimes it gets rough [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Times got hard [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Some times you gotta walk to work (yeah) [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word]  
Tried to be good, (I tried) tried to treat you like a lady 
Tried to be a friend, turned out that you were shady 
 [bad word] 
Sometimes it gets lonely [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Thangs aint what they seem to be [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Sometimes you get a little angry [bad word] 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 [bad word] from where I'm from 
 [bad word]  [bad word] from where I'm, I'm from 
Sometimes you gotta moan [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Sometimes you gotta cry a little bit louder [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Sometimes you gotta fight the pain [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Sometimes you gotta walk alone [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Sometimes you get a little worried [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Sometimes you get lost outta touch [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 
Sometimes I think I pray a little bit too much [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from 

Sometimes I get a little scared [bad word] from where I'm from, I'm from
