Toxic - WHERE I'M FROM (feat. RAHEEM DEVAUGHN)

Chi-town what up church on the move
Toxic, and radio Raheem DeVaughn
This that hard body right here
Church on the move
Where I'm from
You either sink or swim
And these streets stay cold
Like the Chi-town city wind
Around here we earn our keep
one false move mean life or death
Stayin' alive, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
When I say cold, I ain't talkin' bout the thermostat
I'm talkin' click-clack, Chi-town murder cap
Under my thermal jack where I keep the burner at
So-called friends out to get ya when you turn your back
All these clowns with their circus act
Bout to put my finger on the trigger and start jerk-jerkin' that
I'm ridin' down Cermak, dirty in the Lac
36-0's, 30 racks, you can purchase that
We hustle, we don't work, cause our piss dirty
Stay high off that sesame, big birdie
I thought shit would get better when I hit 30
But this is way worse, hands down, 6:30
Niggas out to get Tox even my own blood
Think I'm rich and I ain't shit', and I don't show em love
But they don't know enough, they don't know the game is rough
Still flip work, cause sometimes the music don't pay enough
Where I'm from
You either sink or swim
And these streets stay cold
Like the Chi-town city wind
Around here we earn our keep
one false move mean life or death
Stayin' alive, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
I'm alive, but a part of my soul died
Lost friends made enemies, it's no lie
I used to watch niggas, but I had closed eyes
Now I keep my eyes open wide, boy, the whole time
Roach-ass niggas get sprayed
Real motherfuckers get money, get paid
Why do niggas hate? Why so much hatred
All it do is get a nigga so motivated
I'm just tryin' to survive in these cold streets
Got my shoes and socks, no cold feet
I ain't scared, I'm prepared, so I load heat
I just so happen to rap and make cold beats
After all the shit niggas told me
You wanna come back, but I pass like the toll free
The crazy part is it never ends
This is where I started, now I'm right back here again
Where I'm from
You either sink or swim
And these streets stay cold
Like the Chi-town city wind
Around here we earn our keep
one false move mean life or death
Stayin' alive, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
Yeah, Radio Raheem
Toxic, streets cold, BOY
You already know how we survive
Holy City born and raised
K-Town, Southside, Northside
Wild Hunnids, the whole Chicago
Let's get money
Where I'm from
You either sink or swim
And these streets stay cold
Like the Chi-town city wind
Around here we earn our keep
one false move mean life or death
Stayin' alive, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
