WHERE I'M FROM ft. RAHEEM DEVAUGHN Lyrics

Chi-town what up church on the move

Toxic, and radio Raheem DeVaughn

This that hard body right here

Church on the move

Where I'm from

You either sink or swim

And these streets stay cold

Like the Chi-town city wind

Around here we earn our keep

one false move mean life or death

Stayin' alive, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just

When I say cold, I ain't talkin' bout the thermostat

I'm talkin' click-clack, Chi-town murder cap

Under my thermal jack where I keep the burner at

So-called friends out to get ya when you turn your back

All these clowns with their circus act

Bout to put my finger on the trigger and start jerk-jerkin' that

I'm ridin' down Cermak, dirty in the Lac

36-0's, 30 racks, you can purchase that

We hustle, we don't work, cause our piss dirty

Stay high off that sesame, big birdie

I thought shit would get better when I hit 30

But this is way worse, hands down, 6:30

Niggas out to get Tox even my own blood

Think I'm rich and I ain't shit', and I don't show em love

But they don't know enough, they don't know the game is rough

Still flip work, cause sometimes the music don't pay enough

Where I'm from

You either sink or swim

And these streets stay cold

Like the Chi-town city wind

Around here we earn our keep

one false move mean life or death

Stayin' alive, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just

I'm alive, but a part of my soul died

Lost friends made enemies, it's no lie

I used to watch niggas, but I had closed eyes

Now I keep my eyes open wide, boy, the whole time

Roach-ass niggas get sprayed

Real motherfuckers get money, get paid

Why do niggas hate? Why so much hatred

All it do is get a nigga so motivated

I'm just tryin' to survive in these cold streets

Got my shoes and socks, no cold feet

I ain't scared, I'm prepared, so I load heat

I just so happen to rap and make cold beats

After all the shit niggas told me

You wanna come back, but I pass like the toll free

The crazy part is it never ends

This is where I started, now I'm right back here again

Where I'm from

You either sink or swim

And these streets stay cold

Like the Chi-town city wind

Around here we earn our keep

one false move mean life or death

Stayin' alive, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just

Yeah, Radio Raheem

Toxic, streets cold, BOY

You already know how we survive

Holy City born and raised

K-Town, Southside, Northside

Wild Hunnids, the whole Chicago

Let's get money

Where I'm from

You either sink or swim

And these streets stay cold

Like the Chi-town city wind

Around here we earn our keep

one false move mean life or death

Stayin' alive, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just

Stayin' alive, to survive we just, we just
