Comin' From Where I'm From Lyrics - Comin' From Where I'm From - Anthony Hamilton

Sitting here, guess I didn' make bail 

Got time and a story to tell 

Started when I was nine years old 

Woke up and daddy was gone 

I started hustling and the couldn't tell me nothing 

Fronting in the hood, trying to be somebody 

My soul was on empty 

I was searching for something 

Tried to be good 

Tried to keep from trouble 

Living too fast 

Trying to make a good hustle 

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 

Sometimes you gotta walk to work 

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 

Wasn' really looking guess I found it 

Five foot three light brown skinned 

Coming from the university 

Lifestyle looking kind of lovely 

Didn't know she had much game 

Down to ride out, even take the train 

Even take her to a poker game 

Top notch fried chicken and sushi 

Tried to be good 

Tried to treat you like a lady 

Tried to be your friend 

Turned out that you were shady 

Sometimes it gets lonely 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Some times ain't what they seem to be 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Some times would get the best of me 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Well, tried to be good (I tried, I tried) 

Wanted nothing but to love somebody 

Didn't want to die young 

Steady hustling trying to feed my family 

Too scared to have kids and like daddy did 

'Cause I'm so scared of failing 

Sometimes it gets hard 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Sometimes you gotta moan 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Sometimes you gotta cry a little 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 get a little worried 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Sometimes you get lost out of touch 

Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from 

Sometimes I think I pray a little to 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
