Where I Come From Lyrics

If you walk down the wrong street you're bound to get cut

From the alleys to Long Beach better keep your head up

But it's not such a bad place if you had to grow up

And if you think you could stand it you could try your luck

If you look away

Then we know you're afraid

We won't ever change

There's concrete in our veins

Appetite to grind

Aperture refined

Can't escape where I come from

Just hide away where I come from

It's not the same where I come from

You can't escape where I come from

'Cause where I come from

The streets eat you alive

Red lights and wasted time

It's where I come from

You might tell by now that we don't give a fuck

And you might point a finger and say that we're chumps

But did you ever get the feeling that you knew you were stuck?

I'm waiting for you at the bottom and all I got is love

If you look away

Then we know you're afraid

We won't ever change

There's concrete in our veins

Appetite to grind

Aperture refined

Can't escape where I come from

Just hide away where I come from

It's not the same where I come from

You can't escape where I come from

It's where I run from

But I'll be back before daylight

I'm growing deaf despite the pride

It's what keeps me alive

It's where I come from
