Hey, comin' from where I'm from, I'm from

Oh yeah, oh yeah Kids get killed in ghettos, shot up over the car Limos

While they mom was at home, tears hittin' the pillow

Where women in the middle in a seminal funereal

Shed a tear 'cause he lost his son the same way a year ago It's the same ego spiritual, we thuggin' in harmony

They say, "Death brings life, there exchange no robbery"

If I'm wrong pardon me, I'm just tired of poverty

Why them niggaz in the hood never hit the lottery Unless they go lottery, first round in the draft

First we dustin' off the rounds and we slip in the mag'

Then we slip on the masks and go out and mash

And we call it feeding our family, y'all call it a tragedy, damn How I could just kill a man?

Watch his blood flow like a river then rinse his blood off of my hand

If you hearing me speak please Lord give me a chance

Please forgive me of my sins 'cause we cleansed where I'm from Me and my niggaz ride

Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside

Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it

But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it Instead of struggling or strive

Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine

This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from

We all walk back in line Now everybody know that everybody said, "Nobody can hide from beef

Except but us, who surprised when these kids get killed on the streets"

Look how these animals eat that's how they talk 'bout us

While they shed they joke and laugh puttin' a choke round us Can I get a moment of silence?

'Cause they claimin' it's the murderers that's causin' all the violence

What 'bout the ones that protect to serve our honor

Poppin' the blue colla' with shots soon to follow The ghettos in horror 'cause in this boy shot went back

And now the neighborhood hot and he can't move the crack

When it's all about the dollars

And he'll individually get murdered 'cause money is power But then these snitch's get to talking and it's colder than ours

Cuffed and crimed on the bus heading straight to the Island

He was only 13 but tried us in the dope and as high as the coast

Because ain't no more children in the ghetto where I'm from Me and my niggaz ride

Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside

Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it

But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it Instead of struggling or strive

Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine

This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from

We all walk back in line We ain't all killers in prison

Matter fact that's a stereo typical thought of livin'

'Cause they don't know about the hood and them love in it

Summer time top down with the wood finish Pushin' hard, uptown windows slightly tinted

Back to back Benz and jeeps, blowin' weed with my niggaz

On our way to a house party, gonna *** with some bitchs

Let's get some liquor for shorty who said she make us some chicken And if we get 'em drunk enough

We probably could freak 'em and do it every other weekend

If I don't have to kill niggaz, I never would leave the ghetto

I'm like an angel that put on a halo

Cradle the grave of my niggaz that we lost in the ghetto 'Cause where I'm from in the ghetto we rock white tee's and Nike's

Roll 3 dice and name our dope ice cream

Set trends and y'all follow our lead

But in New Yitti niggaz follow they dreams, where I'm from Me and my niggaz ride

Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside

Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it

But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it Instead of struggling or strive

Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine

This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from

We all walk back in line Now I lay me down and sleep

And I pray for the Lord, my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

Pray to the Lord, my soul to take, yeah

Pray for the Lord, my soul to take, oh, oh yeah Me and my niggaz ride

Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside

Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it

But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it Instead of struggling or strive

Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine

This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from

We all walk back in line
