Lil' Eddie - That's Where I'm From lyrics

rate me

It's like I'm running with my hands tied

Trying to break away from my life

Arabs standin' … why?

Follow me, follow me,

I was raised inside of a jungle, you wanna inch you gotta hustle

I gotta make these money bubble, follow me,

You said, said you can never walk in my shoes

You can never feel them gun shots, another man down

You can never walk in my shoes

Kicked and abused, we won't stop until we make it

That's where I'm from

Can't be a champion, part of the life, beating like a drum

That's where I'm from

The land of the struggle, coming out the rubble

That's where i begun

I've only just begun, so you better run

I'm the chose one

That's where I'm from

I can be a champion

Listen listen listen

Cops giving me the crooked eye

Smoking cigarrettes to get by

Just wanna lift that 25, oh yeah, oh yeah

Another body, another chalk line

scratching the lotto with a tootsie dime

I gotta get my mother out the grime, follow me

'Said you can never walk in my shoes

You can never feel them gun shots, another man down (man down)

You can never walk in my shoes

Kicked and abused, we won't stop until we make it

That's where I'm from

Can't be a champion, part of the life, beating like a drum

That's where I'm from

The land of the struggle, coming out the rubble

That's where i begun

I've only just begun, so you better run

I'm the chose one

That's where I'm from

I can be a champion

Listen Listen

Arabs run bodegas, kids carry razors,

Every corner selling yayo

I'm Bolitos-playing God come and save us

We keep running out of pesos

Eating rice and beans for weeks

Cuz we just can't afford the meat

Even after working 16 hours on a day

why me, why me?

That's where I'm from

Can't be a champion, part of the life, beating like a drum

That's where I'm from

The land of the struggle, coming out the rubble

That's where i begun

That's where I'm from

I've only just begun, so you better run

I'm the chose one (I'm the chosen one)

That's where I'm from

I'll be a champion
