Preach - Where I'm From

Chorus) x2
Where I'm from, the streets so cold/
Where I'm from, you don't lose hope;
Where I'm from, you just don't go;
But all i know is that.... all i know is that...;

(Verse 1)
All i know is that we came from the struggle/
I had to hustle my way to wade through the mud puddles?;
No heat in the winter, me and my heat cuddled/
Bloody knuckles kept me alive the times i shoulda crumbled;
I cant even even count the cash that my hands juggled/
I picked up the rock and then i got into trouble;
The double up wit the money made me so fucking hungry/
Now i bury bands in the backyard with a fucking shovel;
Watch me, can't nobody stop me, i still got up off my back even after they shot me/
Rocked me, tried to put holes inside my body,
I done did so much, wit so little, for so long that I'm godly;
Oddly enough I'm so disappointed wit my decisions/
Witnessing these choices ripping apart this life that I'm living;
But i've been giving into my demons until i'm numb/
Their the only reason i escaped where i'm from;

(Chorus) x2
Where I'm from, the streets so cold
Where I'm from, you don't lose hope
Where I'm from, you just don't go
And all i know is that.... all i know is that...;

(Verse 2)
All i know is that where i'm from, ain't no place to be/
My Enemies are still praying they'd just lay waste to me;
Aimlessly, as they're spraying lead hot as flames could be;
They ain't no taming me, all you did was fuck up and awaken me;
Sustain the heat in these streets, the fires so consuming/
Impending doom will await the weakness inside a human;
So don't be foolish and get caught up in this disillusion/
Of confusing yourself with a gangster when they get to shooting;
Don't go, walking down the wrong roads, you might just find yourself being laid down in a long, cold/
Dark hole, this is no place to think you thuggin', you get drug in to the darkness, the heartless will stomp your skull in;
Trust in, my words when i tell you just turn and walk away/
The only thing thats promised around here is fucking darker days;
No armors made to withstand the pressure these streets have felt/
The smell of death is still lingering down these streets of hell

(Chorus) x2
Where I'm from, the streets so cold
Where I'm from, you don't lose hope
Where I'm from, you just don't go
And all i know is that.... all i know is that...;

(Verse 3)
All iv'e ever really known was this kind of life,
There's times we had to eat supper lit up by candle light/
Damned if i didn't hustle i wouldn't eat that night, cold feet at night, shivering from no heat, id barely sleep at night;
But nothing could ever stop me from chasing my endeavors, wether it was my enemies or darkest of weather/
Rainy days turned into hurricanes you couldnt measure, category 5 aint nothing like having your jaws severed;
No joke, ribs broke, skull cracked, 3 nurses,2 doctors and some staples put my skull back/
Bones cracked, collar bone snapped into so many pieces,
I was left to decease in the streets, but i was saved by demons;
Screaming out into the night, but yet no one could hear me, teary eyes as i cried out for the ones that were near me/
Weary headed, i made it up out that hell alone,
Can't nobody take away all the memories I've known....


(Chorus) x2
Where I'm from, the streets so cold
Where I'm from, you don't lose hope
Where I'm from, you just don't go
And all i know is that.... all i know is that...;
