"Where I'm From"
  by Lucky Star


Where I'm from its a dangerous place, walking right down the street bullets hitting you in the face no place safe, not even in your own house, bullets flying like darts making your brains pop,

It's Just Where I'm From



walking over drug needles in the street standing by watchin families as they weep cause they just lost a loved on in the streets, tryna compete with those that was saling the same drugs as he, anther body in the ground anther sound little frown,



It's Just Where I'm From



peolple being raped, malested, and beat, broken up families no food to eat, parents struggling to pay the bills no time to rest or just sit back and chill, making sure their children have a place to, tryna make thier house into a home that they can keep to call there own,


It's Just Where I'm From



kids being bullied inside the schools, the bullys laughing acting like its cool, but a week later that bullied kid came back to school with a machine gun killing those fools, who put him in the trash can making him eat dirt, making him call them Gods cause they had his t- shirt,


It's Just Where I'm From



cops being shot, inoncent bystanders who always getin dropped from a stray bullet flyin in the air some people just dont give a dam ,they just don't care, but another baby in the ground, another family that cries but makes no sound, numb of the pain cause they got to put their 5 year old daughter in the ground where theres no familty around, a little girl just 5 years old really didn't get to know life now shes about to be barried at a grave sight



It's Just Where I'm From





homeless people on the street no place to sleep, but inside of a card board box in the corner where its pee, hokers on the corner tryna make a little fee and we look at them and judge them like look at that whore or that B, dont know anything about them but we just judge what we see and its crazy cause we dont know their life or what they been threw or why they be where they be , maybe they trying to survive like u and me, and dont take shit from nobody cause they just want to break free



Its Just Where I'm From




babies making babies no money for abortion parents going crazy, what should she do keep it or give it up for adoption she dont got no job she just fourteen parents struggling as it they cant afoord anther mouth to feed, so what do she do put him up for adoption now that babys in the system all out of pockt, bumpt into foster home into foster home no real family to love him kept to his self and pushed away others cause he was really grieving for his real mother,




Its Just Where Im' From




people living with diease's no ones using protection so the HIV and EGGs keep on breathing, people dieing in pain no cure for eggs so you just stand there and watch your self as you fade, its alot of diease's out here in this world I'm not just talking sexual I'm health wise like your testicles, you got breast cancer and you lose your breast and the caner comes back agin and you lose your rest hair starting to fall out feeling deprest dont want to liv this way, feeling ugly on the outside cause you went balled no hair to feel beautiful no you just fall, its just a world I'm in and its juat so raw,




Its Just Where I'm From




its just where I'm from not who I am I chose to work hard and make it to the top from the begining to the end,

its just where your from not who you are so set a goal for yourself and reach for the stars and you"ll go real far dont be the next criminal put behind bars cause its where your from not who you are, dont get sucked into part of the world thats going down the drain cause its where your from not who you are so make a change in your life and go far cause its where your from not who you are so make it, reach for the stars



It's Where Your From Not Who You Are


It's Where I'm From Not Who I Am I chose to make it and work hard

This was a very informative and inspirational piece....love the message...you don't have to become what you were raised around....rise above it and become better than that. Great piece, lady.
