Where I'm From Pt. 1

Where I'm from isn't as bad as people always make it seem

Where I'm from kids are finding better ways than breaking the laws, smoking, and drinking

They're now taking a pause, stopping and thinking, making better choices to prepare for their future, cuz livin life as a bum is not something they can get used to

But where I'm from some bums dress better than teachers

And have more faith than our preachers and since there's no money their life is now featured around violence and crime and half of their time is spent begging for dimes

Yes, the coin and the bag

Because they'd rather get a drag than a job

But change is what we need so society can breathe a breath of fresh air by knowing our kids care about going to school cuz Kanye West has now made it cool to be a drop out.

Mr. Mr., them teachers don't like me is a cop out

Them cop's out to get me is an excuse

So excuse me for telling it like it is but I'm blaming it on the parents.

Cuz apparently, nothing is being said at home, too many kids feel alone
