[Lloyd]Umm hey, coming from where I'm from (I'm from) ohhh yea[Ja Rule]Kids get killed in ghettos, shot up over the Carmello'sWhile they mom was at home, tears hitting the pillowReverand in the middle in a serminal funerealShed a tear cause he lost his son the same way a year agoIt's the same egospiritual, we thugging in harmonyThey say death brings life, there exchange no robberyIf I'm wrong pardon me, me I'm just tired of povertyWhy them niggaz in the hood never hit the lotteryUnless they go lottery, first round in the draftFirst we dusting off the rounds and we slip in the mag'Then we slip on the masks, and go out and mashAnd we call it feeding our familyYa'll call it a tragedy, damnHow I could just kill a manWatch his blood flow like a river and rinse his blood off of my handsIf you hearing me speak please Lord give me a chancePlease forgive me of my sins, cause we cleansed where I'm from[Chorus - Lloyd:]Me and my niggaz rideEven when the sun don't shine and it's cold outsideI never run in or hide, cause some niggaz hate itBut I can't get faded cause I done made itInstead of struggling or striveFind my way out these ghetto streets of mineThis is coming from where I'm from (I'm from)We all walk back in line (yeah)[Ja Rule]Now everybody know that everybody said nobody can hide from beefExcept but us, who surprised when these kids get killed on the streetsLook how these animals eat that's how they talk bout usWhile they she'd they joke and laugh putting a choke round usCan I get a moment of silenceCause they claiming it's the murders that's causing all the violenceWhat bout the ones that protect to serve our honorPopping the blue colla', with shots soon to followThe ghettos in horror, cause in this boy shot went backAnd now the neighborhood hot and he can't move the crackWhen it's all about the dollarsAnd he'll individually get murdered cause money is powerBut then the snitch's get to talking and he's caught within hoursCuffed and cryin' on the bus heading straight to the IslandHe was only 13, but tried as an adult in the highest of courtsCause ain't no more children in the ghetto where I'm from[Chorus:][Ja Rule]We ain't all killers in prisonMatter fact that's a stereo typical thought of living'Cause they don't know about the hood and the love in itSummer time top down with the wood finishPushing hard uptown windows slightly tintedBack to back Benz and jeeps, blowing weed with my niggazOn our way to a house party, gonna fuck with some bitchsLet's get some liquor for shorty who said she make us some chickenAnd if we get 'em drunk enough we probably could freak em, and do it every other weekendIf I ain't have to kill niggaz, I never would leave the ghettoI'm like an angel that put on a halo, cradle the grave of my niggaz that we lost in the ghettoCause where I'm from in the ghetto we rock white tee's and nike'sRoll 3 dice and name our dope ice creamSet trends and ya'll follow our leadBut in New Yitti niggaz follow they dreams, where I'm from[Chorus:]Now I lay me down to sleepAnd I pray to the Lord, for my soul to keepBut if I should die before I wakePray to the Lord, for my soul to take (Pray to the Lord, for my soul to take)[Chorus till song fades out]
