Where I'm from black people makes it impossible to come together, we switch up on each other like Kansas City weather.

Where I'm from kids get addicted to phones more than they do to a book.

They will damage the next person and think they can get off the hook.

Everybody wants the answers to our city problem handed to them but all you have to do is look.

Where i'm from its black on black crime.

Parrying young black men institutionalized to do time, its expected.

-Im from Kansas City
