[Intro: Jermaine Dupri]
This is So So Def
My man Anthony Hamilton
And I went out and got somebody
That wanna tell you a little bit about where they come from
[Verse 1: Scarface, Jermaine Dupri]
They got me trapped in the belly of this beast once again (Uh-huh)
And this say this time I'm looking at at least two to ten (Woo)
Went from a nigga ballin', blowin' Sweets, pourin' Henn (Uh-huh)
To a nigga 'bout to catch the chain, headed to the pen (Yeah)
My friend, made a bond and left me there to rot (Uh-huh)
But I swear to God that I'm gon' get his ass if I get out (That's right)
Conspiracy to get a nigga jammed, that's the plot (Uh-huh)
Get everybody caught off in your scam and rat 'em out
(Ant', sing to 'em)
[Verse 2: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Sittin' here, guess I didn't make bail
Got time and a story to tell (Come on)
Started when I was nine years old (Uh-huh)
Woke up and daddy was gone (Oh)
I started hustlin', they couldn't tell me nothin' (Nah)
Frontin' in the hood tryin' to be somebody
My soul was on empty (Uh-huh)
I was searching for something
(What you try to do?)
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Tried to be good (Uh-huh)
Tried to keep from trouble (Yeah-ye-yeah)
Livin' too fast (Uh-huh)
Tryna make good on a hustle
(It's hard sometimes)
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Sometimes it gets rough (Yeah)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Times got hard, yeah (Yeah)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta walk to work, yeah (Yeah)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt
Comin' from where I'm from I'm from
(Give 'em some more)
[Verse 3: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Wasn't really lookin', guess I found it (Uh-huh)
Five-foot-three, light brown skin (Little fine something)
Comin' from the university (Yeah)
Nice style, lookin' kinda lovely
Didn't know she had much game (A lot)
Down to ride out, even take the train
Even took her to a poker game (Yeah)
Top notch from fried chicken to sushi
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Tried to be good (Yeah, you tried?) (I tried)
Tried to treat you like a lady
Tried to be a friend
Turned out that you were shady
(That's how it goes sometimes)
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Sometimes it gets lonely (Yeah)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Thangs ain't what they seem to be (Uh-huh)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you get a little angry, yeah (Yeah)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you get the best of me
(Y'all know me, this the part I like right here)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
(Let's take 'em to the bridge, Ant')
[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Well, tried to be good (I tried)
Wanted nothing but to love somebody (Oh, oh)
Didn't wanna die young (Yeah)
Steady hustlin' tryin' to feed my family
Too scared to have kids, and do like daddy did
'Cause I'm so scared of failin'
Sometimes it gets hard
Comin' from where I'm from
(Yo 'Face, tell 'em how the rest of the story go)
[Verse 4: Scarface, Jermaine Dupri]
My baby mama gon' go back to school in the fall (Uh-huh)
I think she's got another dude 'cause she won't take my calls (Oh)
Public defender got papers he want me to sign (Uh-huh)
Cop me out to a lesser charge, minimize my time
But I'm, taking shit to trial, win or lose
When you're locked down and your back's against the wall, what you do? (Yeah)
You move; you face the rainy day to see the sun
You play the odds 'cause bet it pays, you bet it three-to-one (That's right)
[Outro: Anthony Hamilton, Jermaine Dupri]
Comin' from where I'm, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta moan (Yeah)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta cry a little bit louder
(I know everybody can understand this)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta fight the pain (Yeah)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta walk alone
(A-Town, just rock, rock on)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
(H-Town, just rock, rock on)
Sometimes you get a little worried
(South Cacalack, rock on)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
(Rock on, rock on, rock on)
Sometimes you get lost outta touch
(A-Town, rock, rock, rock on)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
(H-Town, rock, rock, rock on)
Sometimes I think I pray a little bit too much
(Come on)
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes I get a little scared
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
(Yeah)
Sometimes I get a little scared
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes I gotta act, I ain't got friends, no
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
