I'm From - Merkules

Yo, everyday I’d watch the older dudes pitch in a corner, with smoked blunts

then walked by and catch a whif of the odor

Empty henny bottles broken, they don’t mix it with soda

'Cause when I’m from we went to war and every kid was a soldier

Grew up with the wrong crowd, boxcutters in our pockets

Fuck around and we make sure you get it first like a deposit, it wasn’t worth

it, we was stompin' with a thirst for gainin' profit

Every person on my block was either servant or were aren’t, we then go by our

own rules that we made ourselfs., and heaven never existed 'cause we make up

in hell

Those rap videos taught me that we still had a chance to make it, 2Pac,

Biggie Smalls and Mac Dre on every playlist

School was a distraction from the reality around us, it was actually astounding

that it had to be the outcome

If you are white then you are shady, if you black then you are malcolm

The young dudes could get you weed

The OGs were sellin' hours

See where I’m from you can wind up dead, with

That’s right and that’s why all I’m tryna say is

You should get your Smith&Wesson

Because

I’m where the money always dirty and needles never sterile

We were

On the bad side of town, the other side had it better, that was

See, that’s the thing about these streets you could get caught up quick,

you can get hitted with a stray bullet when that shotgun spit

Yo, I’ve seen kids at sixteen doin' some get-by shit, the pop-pop and they get

gut inside that heartbox whip, that life style could consume you

The money you get used to, always dirty, so you searchin' for a purpose like a

fool, your pockets kinda thick and the girls be fuckin' with you,

but it’s only 'cause they drawn toward the money, that’s an issue

The people that you thought were your homies will start to diss you,

so you think you better to walk around packin' pistol

Cats befriend you just to get a small taste of how you livin', but they weren’t

when you were cookin' base inside the kitchen

It’s the fucked up world, but that’s the one that we live in

You can get caught and go to jail and get out on condition

That’s the system, though, they want to believe you the man, so if you smart

then I suggest that you just leave while you can

It’s real shit

See where I’m from you can wind up dead, with

That’s right and that’s why all I’m tryna say is

You should get your Smith&Wesson

Because

I’m where the money always dirty and needles never sterile

We were

On the bad side of town, the other side had it better, that was
