Where I Come From

Shots fired
Where they come from?
Sound like my neighborhood
I guess it's time I run to my spot to make sure everybody's safe
When living in the hood is not okay
You know, a youngin' gotta stay strapped
You really don't want to be caught without it
Things blowin' up in my face

I think about the shit that day
How my cousin got shot
Fuck around with a young dope dealer
Now everybody high
Riding around with their finger on a trigger like goddamn

Just know somebody's hoping for ya
Gotta switch your busted open for ya
But who gon' be there when you need 'em?
Pour out some liquor

Still thinking about where I come from
Where your chances ain't too great
Got a lot to prove (where I come from)
Grandma staying up late
Don't want to see your baby on the news (where I come from)
It ain't easy to make it out (where I come from)
You got a lot to prove
Nothing else to lose (where I come from)

Grandma knew I was stubborn
She said baby don't push my buttons
I was always on utter-ish
Really wasn't stuck in nothin'
Living in the streets foolish
Slanging at pranks now I'm thinking why did I do it?
Only if I could take it back
I wouldn't have to face it all
Ain't tryna catch another case

I think about the shit that day
How I got caught
Fuck around with the wrong drug dealer
And now everybody high
Riding around with their finger on a trigger like goddamn

Just know somebody's hoping for ya
Gotta switch up, bust it open for ya
But who gon' be there when you need 'em?
Pour out some liquor for ya

Thinking about where I come from
Your chances ain't too great
Got a lot to prove (where I come from)
Grandma staying up late
Don't want to see your baby on the news (where I come from)
It ain't easy to make it out (where I come from)
Only got a lot to prove
Nothing else to lose (where I come from, where I come from)
It ain't easy to make it out (where I come from)
No, oh, oh, oh (where I come from)

A lot of things blowing up in my face
I think about the shit that day
How life was hard
Growing up in a world full of killers
Thinking smart
I gotta take my finger off the trigger like right now
I know your heart is open for me
Got some reefer smoky for me
But who gon' be there when I need 'em?
Pour out some liquor for me (where I come from)

Where your chances ain't too great
Got a lot to prove (where I come from)
Grandma staying up late
Don't worry granny
Don't want to see your baby on the news (I'm okay) (where I come from)
It ain't easy to make it out (where I come from)
Only got a lot to prove
Nothing else to lose
