Where Im from
Where Im from you gotta be nice at basketball or rapping if you wanna make it out
where your bestfriend would snake you for a couple dollars
Where im from it’s not safe to stay out late past 8
Even if you tryna shoot hoops
Cause it’s alot of shooters outside and they aint aiming for baskets
Where Im from you cant even tell your mom the type of shit thats going on
Where im from you might get robbed for your flashy shoes
Where im from you get used to losing friends to the system or the graveyard
Where im from you see your childhood friends turn into members
Where im from you get waken up for school by the ambulance or the police sirens
Where im from you roll up before you vent to another person
Even tho it’s clear as day that you got problems
Where im from you witness a shootout then gotta go back to school the next week like nothing happened
Where im from you ask the ock if he could let off the hook for being $2 short
Where im from you cant be soft becuase they’ll take your kindness for weakness
Where im from you dont really know who love you or if they using you
Where im from you feel so trapped but got nowhere else to go
Where im from you see the feens lined up like its the new jordan releases
Where im from you gotta stay in the latest just to get her instagram
But dont hate the player, hate the game
Where im from we go from hoop dreams to just tryna score some quick cash
Where im from you grew up with people on both sides of the beef
So you can’t pick a side
Where im from your momma would scold you before she try to understand you
Where im from, if you walk too late outside and have a mask, the cops gon search ya pockets
And grab ya sweater even when you say you have nothing
Where im from you gotta deal with all this sh**
Then wake up the next day
And do it all again
