"You Don't Know"

You don't know where I'm comin' from
You don't know 'bout the world I see
But no matter what I seen
There's still light living in me
You don't know where I'm comin' from
You don't know 'bout the things I done
Soldiers weren't raised to run
Been lost and yet I've won

I got it out the dirt like it's gotta be in the mud
I chuck my hood cuz I'm proud to be where I'm from
Waiting on that day
Though that day may never come
They tellin' me learn to love but apart of me left wit none
Used to barbecue every time we heard an opp would die
I know it's wrong but man it's true I know my Mama tried
Now I'm lookin' for better days in my daughter's eyes
Aiming for that rollie to remind me of them harder times
I guess times change don't it Yeah
Regardless of the changes safe to say I never changed on 'em
I know they hatin' on 'em Yeah
They tried to write me off these streets but they couldn't
I left my stain on 'em
I did my thang on 'em
No I don't forget
Still fightin' them demons I'm prayin' the Lord forgive
Still finding a reason I'm knowin' it's more to this
Too used to takin' them L's I'm knowin
I'm posed to win Yeah

You don't know where I'm comin' from
You don't know 'bout the world I see
But no matter what I seen
There's still light living in me
You don't know where I'm comin' from
You don't know 'bout the things I done
Soldiers weren't raised to run
Been lost and yet I've won

And I was born through the fire
And I was born to be a fighter
And I just wanna get higher
But I don't wanna use the lighter
No not more
Been through the worst but I know I'm more
Under dog but I adore
The love they give me
Now I know what I'm for
Moved on but it's on my mind daily
Thankin' God for the love I found lately
Thankin God for the way that he saved me
I'm a soldier cuz 2 of them made me
I was lost and they labeled me crazy
Found my faith and I never let it phase me

You don't know where I'm comin' from
You don't know 'bout the world I see
But no matter what I seen
There's still light living in me
You don't know where I'm comin' from
You don't know 'bout the things I done
Soldiers weren't raised to run
Been lost and yet I've won
