[VERSE: Kris Kasanova]
We all came from the belly of the beast
Few of my peeps just wanted to run the streets
Gun in reach
Trouble find those who seek
Just another funeral, by the end of the week
Lord..
Preachers preach
Mama's weep
Hand upon her shoulder
Like be strong you can't be weak
I known him since the third grade
Now he's six feet deep
Tears rolling down my eyes
As my grandmama speak
Trials and tribulations
sh** I'm trying to keep the devil waiting
Heart racing as I'm reading revelations
Will I make it
Before those shots fire
Or will they do me like how they did Tyler
Only God knows
I'm just tryna stay the f** up out the ghetto
Hold my son tight
I swear to God I'll never let go
My hood's concerned
About a top five
I'm just tryna stay alive
And stay the f** up off of Fox 5
[HOOK: American Fly Boy]
(What's going on)
Ooh, Lord knows I tired
But everybody just tryna survive
Where I'm from
(What's going on)
The blind leading the blind
(Ahhh) What's costing me for a crime
Where I'm from
Somebody tell me what's going on
Try living where I'm from
Somebody tell me what's going on
Where I'm from
[VERSE 2: Klover Field]
Why I'm still feeling alone
Maybe it's
Because I lost my moms at twelve years old
And I ain't know
What the Lord had to unfold
I turn to the street
My closes homie packing the heat
Still was in school
I thought catching jux sh** was cool
Creeping me out
Because I knew my mother would dealt
The things that I did
For a little kush and a blouse
Blaming my pops
For everything I did on the block
Loading up shots
Even putting dope in my socks
Screaming
f** the cops, they but Dee in a box
Never forgive 'em
Give 'em every one of my feelings
n***as is snakes
Shake your hand and hiss on your face
What is
Life becoming
Most of my peers
See
Friends and guns
Or bullets and gear
Never do fear
Drinking henny
Don't be aware
The hood is
Full of situations that can cause tears
I really don't know
If I could help with my grandma
Loving my sister
Asking God if he has answers
Breaking the law
Quite chilling, round of applause
Audio calm
So I know my vocals are strong
What is a top five?
When all you guys
Talk about change, chicks, and the cars that you drive
Open your mind
Hoping here that I redefined
The way that we live
And get the kids all on the grind
[HOOK]
Just tryna...
Survive...
Where I'm from...
Where I'm from...
Where I'm....
What's going on..
Tell me what's going on
