[Verse 1]
Sittin here guess I didn't make bail
Got time and a story to tell

Started when I was nine years old
Woke up my daddy was gone
I started hustlin they couldn't tell me nothin

Frontin in the hood tryin to be somebody
My soul was on empty
I was searchin for something


[Pre-chorus]
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 I'm from, I'm from
Times got hard

Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
Some times you gotta walk to work (yeah)
Comin from where I'm from, I'm from

Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt

[Verse 2]

Wasn't really lookin guess I found it
Five foot three, light brown skin
Comin from the university

Nice style, lookin kinda lovely
Didn't know she had much game
Down to ride out, even take the train

Even took her to a poker game
She's top notch from fried chicken to sushi


[Pre Chorus]
Tried to be good, (I tried) tried to treat you like a lady
Tried to be a friend, turned out that you were shady


[Chorus]
Sometimes it gets lonely

Comin from where I'm from, I'm from
Thangs 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
Sometimes you get the best of me


[Bridge]
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


[Chorus]
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
