I Am From


I Am From Crown Heights From Liars And Cheaters I Am From The "I Love You"& "Never Will Leave You" Where Lust Outweighs Love Where Shooting And Stabbing is The New Way To Show Your Loyalty I Am From Corner Stores& Family Restaurants From Fake Smiles& Loud Cries At Night From Being Betrayed By People You Least Expect I Am From "You Too Pretty To Be Treated Like That" I Am From Loud Music On Weekdays & Church On Sunday's From Block Parties And Alcoholics The Taste Of My Grandma's Homemade Fried Chicken & Mac and Cheese I Am From The Lit Candles And Crying For The Deceased You Know The Saying "Get Rich Or Die Trying" Now It's Shoot First Or End Up Dying I Am From The 90s Babies The "Social Media Is Life" Days I Am From Not Knowing Who To Trust And Watch Your Back I Am From The Forgotten Voices And Lost Souls The Prettiest Hearts Are Now Gone I Am From The Fake Life That Is Now Feared By A Cold Sharp Knife Stabbed In The Heart As A Spear .
