verse 1
sittin here guess I didn't make bail
got time and a story to tell
started when I was 9 years old
woke up and daddy was gone
i started hustlin'
and they couldn't tell me nutthin'
frontin' in the hood tryin to be somebody
my soul was on empty
i was searching for something
tried to be good
tried to keep from trouble
livin' too fast
tryin to make good on a hustle
[chorus]
sometimes it gets rough
comin from where im from im from
times have gotten hard
comin from where im from im from
sometimes i gotta walk to work
comin from where im from im from
sometimes u gotta do a lil dirt
comin from where im from where im from
verse 2
wasn't really lookin'
guess i found it
5 foot 3
light brown skin
coming from the university
my style lookin kind of lovely
didnt know she had much game
down to ride out even take the train
even took her to a poker game
top notch fried chicken and sushi
tried to be good
tried to treat u like a lady
tried to be your friend it turned out u were shady
[chorus]
sometimes I get lonely
comin' from where I'm from, im from
sometimes things ain't what they seem to be
comin' from where I'm from, im from
sometimes you get a little angry
comin' from where I'm from, im from
sometimes they get the best of me
comin from where I'm from, im from
verse 3
well tried to be good
wanted nothing but to love somebody
didnt wanna die young
started hustlin tryin to feed my family
too scared to have kids
and do like daddy did
cause im so scared of failing
sometimes I get caught
comin' where im from
(uuummmmm)
[chorus]
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta moan
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta cry a little bit louder
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta fight the pain
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta walk alone
Comin from where I'm from i'm from
Sometimes you get a little worried
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you get lost out of touch
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes I think I pray a little to much
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes I get a little scared
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
sometimes i get a little scared
