Where I'm From

Where I’m From

I ain’t never grow up rich but I ain’t never grow up broke

A lot of times it got hard but i ain’t never give up hope

Where I’m from it ain’t the hood but it ain’t really good

My mom told me be something in life, told her I would

Everyday I catch the bus I try to get home quick

Because my poor old grandma is at the home sick

Every time I see my grandma laying there I feel bad

Especially that I was only 5 when I lost my real dad

I live in a small neighborhood and yeah it's called darby

Good and bad things there are permanent in my head like a sharpie

My mom told me its not about the big rings its about the big wings

So I can fly away, get older and go big things

My parents taught me good manners and not to use profanity

That’s why i'm so thankful to go home to a good family

I can’t wait till I get older when everything is done, I won

But until then, that is where I am from
