where i am from

From the bottom, where the shadows creep and dreams decay, Survival's in the air, hustle hard, no time to play. Lost a couple homies, now their spirits guide my way, In the city where the nights are dark, we find the day. Streetlights flicker, visions clearer, but the pain's real, Trust is fragile, like a glass, it's hard to seal. Where I'm from, loyalty's a currency, we keep it sealed, Every step I take, a story told, the scars reveal. Dodging pitfalls, never let the envy get to me, Grew up in the trenches, learned the art of being free. Where I'm from, we ride or die, that's the pedigree, Countin' all my blessings, but the struggle's still a melody. Concrete jungle, where the strong survive the test, In the dark, I found my light, I ain't settling for less. From the block to the top, yeah, I'm reppin' for the nest, Where I'm from, we hustle hard, put the pain to rest. or
