WHERE I COME FROM

Promise that it's still good in me

And all I've gotten wrong

Been away from the city and

Know I spent too long, too long

Sorry, I changed on you

I'm sorry I changed

Sorry, I changed on you

Where I come from we're all limited in choices

Limited in voices, limited resources

Where I come from, it was militant enforcements

So unfortunate how they come up on our misfortune

I dream of a day

Yeah, 'cause where we're from, yeah

I have seen so much pain

If I could change the time, time and the place

I still wouldn't trade, trade where I come from

Yeah, the dreams that I'm chasing usually keep me up

I can't sleep or nothin'

Got a text from my mama, she told me, "Keep it up"

Keep on reaching up for all the ones believing us

You ever advocate for me, thank you for speaking up

I left the hood in my thirties, feel like I seen enough

They pull up when I call 'em, was taught to keep in touch

'Fore I cough up this pendant, you better clean me up

G-O-D better not reach for nothin', noodles

Seen the pain in my pupils, I never hid it from you

Wouldn't be so invested if **** didn't love you

This my letter to youngin, I hope you takin' heat

Get off your cheeks, ****, take the lead, yeah

Where I come from, we're all limited in choices

Limited in voices, limited resources

Where I come from, it was militant enforcements

So unfortunate how they come up on our misfortune

I dream of a day, yeah, 'cause where we're from, yeah

I, I seen so much pain

If I could change the time, time and the place

I still wouldn't trade, trade where I come from
