Comin’ from Where I’m From Anthony Hamilton

[Verse 1]
Sitting here guess I didn't make bail
Got time and a story to tell
Started when I was nine years old
Woke up, my daddy was gone
I started hustling and they couldn't tell me nothing
Fronting in the hood trying to be somebody
My soul was on empty
I was searching for something

[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to be good
Tried to keep from trouble
Living too fast; Trying to make good on a hustle

[Chorus]
Sometimes it gets rough
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Times have got hard, yeah
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta walk to work, yeah
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt, yeah
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from

[Verse 2]
Wasn't really looking, guess I found it
Five foot three, light brown skin
Coming from the university
Nice style, looking kinda lovely
Didn't know she had much game
Down to ride out, even take the train
Even took her to a poker game
She's top notch from fried chicken to sushi
