Where I Am From


See, where I am a normal girl, living in an unusual world.

 

Where I am from it is bad to be good and good to be bad.

 

See, around here people do not dress for the season and people hate for no reason.

 

Where I am from boys only care about games – they all seem the same.

Talking about swag, letting their pants sag.

 

See, I have my own personality while so many other people have messed up mentalities.

 

Where I am from there is no respect for the Master!

 

Where I am from we grow up too fast but I keep hoping that our purity will last!

 

Where I am from we haven’t come to terms with reality.

 

Come to where I am from and you will see….
