It's like I'm running with my hands tied
Trying to break away from my life
All the time is wondering why?
Follow me, follow me,

… I never jungle, you wanna itch you gotta hustle
I gotta make these money …, follow me,
You say, 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 interviews, we won't stop until we make it
That's where I'm from
And … can't be … part of a life, beating like a drum
That's where I'm from
The land of the struggle, … out the rubble
Watch where I'll be gone
I only just begun, so you better come
I'm the chose one
That's where I'm from
And … can't be …
Listen listen listen

Cops giving me the crooked eye
Smoking … to get by
Just wanna lift that 25, oh yeah, oh yeah
Another body, another chalk line
… the lotto … 25 dime
I gotta get my mother out the grind, follow me

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 interviews, we won't stop until we make it
That's where I'm from
And … can't be … part of a life, beating like a drum
That's where I'm from
The land of the struggle, … out the rubble
Watch where I'll be gone
That's where I'm from
I only just begun, so you better come
I'm the chose one
That's where I'm from
And … can't be …
Listen listen listen

Hey … bodega, kids carrying razors
Every corner … yeh yo
I'm willing displaying God come and save us
We keep running out of patience
Even rightful … cause we just can't afford …
… why me, why me?

That's where I'm from
That's where I'm from
And … can't be … part of a life, beating like a drum
That's where I'm from
The land of the struggle, … out the rubble
Watch where I'll be gone
That's where I'm from
I only just begun, so you better come
I'm the chose one
That's where I'm from
And … can't be gone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
