Lupe Fiasco ft. Anthony Hamilton - Comin From Where I'm From

Lyrics:
"You know you got this fantasy in your head about getting out of the life and setting that other world on its ear......... What the fuck are you gonna do except hustle?.........Now man I ain't puttin' you down, I'm just try'na make it real baby like it is (like it is)."

Ay it's real here
Dope fiends still here
Turn around give us the money to buy wheels here
Give you the chills yeah
Developers don't build here the property values low cause we steal here
Better believe most of us want to leave
Furthest we went was out of our minds but we still here
Weapons concealed here
Lil sisters on the pill here
Cant pay our bills here but we like to chill here
Gotta reap what you sow, grow what you deal here
Yo momma weep for your soul cause you was killed here
Police put cameras on poles to many deals there
Gotta go to the county cause you was filmed there
How does it feel knowing innocents was killed here?
Last night at the park beating harpers still there
For the love is chain I make appeals here
Lets pray for our brains busdowns Kneel here

I try to make it right
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)
Times has gotten hard
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)
Times you gotta walk to work yall
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)
Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)

There was once a child in here
cause all the tribulation and the trails in here
And all the limitations of his housing there
Became a teenage trafficker a thousandaire
Captivated by what the drug dealers told
Infatuated with what the drug dealers drove
A life validated by what a drug dealer holds
On the stand cause what another drug dealer told
A drug dealer woes, "TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN"
No woman waits for a man with time on his hands (they don't)
Didn't you know lord they fearing me now
Especially when the conspiracies come down
We come down get humble Its no longer fun now
But who's gonna hustle to feed his son now?
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE CAGE
WE BRING OUT SONS UP TO GET GUNNED DOWN
OUR DAUGHTERS TO HAVE MO' (WHOA)

Sometimes it gets lonely
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)
Things aint what they seem to be
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)
Sometimes you get a little angry
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)
Somethings get the best of me
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)

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
(Comin from where I'm from)

But its beautiful here
It's nothing like the feeling when you do it from here
You aint have to move a pack, you aint have to shoot a gat
And you still took your momma and you moved her from here
You aint dropped out and you figure the world out
Can survive bout' anywhere learned how to do it in here
(Yeah) Thats how we do it in here
Hearing shorties at player's like music to the ears
(We still get by you know)
(Comin from where I'm, 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 outta touch
(Comin from where I'm from, I'm from)
Sometimes I think I pray a little bit too 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
