Anthony Hamilton Coming From Where I'm From Lyrics

Hmmmm
sitting here guess I didn't make bail
got time and a story to tell
it started when I was nine years old
woke up my daddy was gone
I started hustlin they couldn't tell me nothing,
frontin in the hood trying to be somebody,my soul was on empty
I was searching for somethig, trying to be good,
trying to keep from trouble, living to fast,
trying to make good for my hustle

sometimes it gets rough (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
times get hard yeah (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
Sometimes you gotta walk to work yeah (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes you gotta do a little dirt (coming from where I'm from I'm from)

wasn't really looking guess I found it 5 foot 3 light brown skin,
coming from the university nice style looking kinda upbeat,
even though she had much game, down to ride down ,even take the train,
even took 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,

(chorus)
Sometimes I get lonely (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
times ain't what they seemed to be (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes we get a little angry yeah (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes you get the best of me (coming from where I'm from I'm from)

Well I tried to be good (I tried)
wanted nothing but to love somebody
didn't want to die young, started hustlin trying to feed my family,
too scared to have kids can't do like daddy did, cause I'm so scared of failing
sometimes I get lost, coming from where I'm from

(chorus)
coming from where I'm from I'm from
sometimes you gotta moan (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes you gotta cry a little bit louder (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes you gotta fight the pain (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes you gotta walk alone (coming form where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes you get a little worried yeah (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes you get lost and outta touch ohh (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes I think I pray a little bit too much (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes I get a little scared (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
sometimes I get a little scared (coming from where I'm from I'm from)
