BJ The Chicago Kid - Where I'm From lyrics

rate me

Ft. J. Ivy

(Intro)

Where I'm from, opportunity is limited

(Verse)

This concrete cage is overcrowded, intimate it's suffocating

My folks been suffering way before our momma's been ovulating

Under value, we question our own lives, can you blame us for hatin'

Bein' tired of waitin', skatin' my own doubt

We were born where 'the rest' is spawned, more than a mouth spit it out

Out comes the moon, the goons come out

Cuz ain't no options here in...

The upsouth city, guess I didn't make bail

Got time and a story to tell

Started when I was 9 years old

I woke up and daddy was gone

Started hustlin' and they couldn't tell me nothin'

Frontin' in the hood, tryna be somebody

My soul was all empty, I was searchin' fo' somethin'

(Hook)

I tried to be good, I tried to keep from trouble

Living too fast, tryna make good on hustle

Sometimes it gets rough, comin' from where I'm from

Yeah, times get hard, comin' from where I'm from

Sometimes ya gotta walk to work, comin' from where I'm from

Sometimes ya gotta do a lil dirt, comin' from where I'm from

But I thought

(Interlude)

Said it ain't no business(?) if a nigga ain't me

Maggots on the reachin' when no-one start freezin'

Sticka boys out, we ain't even head to church

I dunno why ya hands up, get the wallet out, preacher!

That's why ya boy here chargin' bad fo' a feature

Cuz when the bill man come, we comin' to meet ya

When the bill man come, we comin' to meet ya

I said when the bill man come, we comin' to meet ya

(Verse 2)

Wasn't really lookin', guess I found it

Five foot three, light brown skin

Comin' from the universe of tea

Nice style, people kinda luv luv me

Didn't know she had much game

Down the ride out, even take the train

Even took her to a Knicks game

She's hard notch from fried chicken to sushi

(Hook)

I tried to be good, I tried to keep from trouble

Living too fast, tryna make good on hustle

Sometimes it gets rough, comin' from where I'm from

Yeah, times get hard, comin' from where I'm from

Sometimes ya gotta walk to work, comin' from where I'm from

Sometimes ya gotta do a lil dirt, comin' from where I'm from

But I thought

(Interlude)

Said it ain't no business(?) if a nigga ain't me

Maggots on the reachin' when no-one start freezin'

Sticka boys out, we ain't even head to church

I dunno why ya hands up, get the wallet out, preacher!

That's why ya boy here chargin' bad fo' a feature

Cuz when the bill man come, we comin' to meet ya

When the bill man come, we comin' to meet ya

I said when the bill man come, we comin' to meet ya
