see where i come from the freight train always comes thru
after a while the noise and the smell don't even bother you
see where i come from we be gettin' the poorest service
ain't comin' to da hood because we make them nervous
see where i come from there is a hiring drought
got folks walkin' around with they mouths poked out
see where i come from it's kinda like low cash
you either slangin' da boulders or sellin' da azz
see where i come from you can even send yo' shorty
to the arab's on the corner and he can cop a fourty
see where i come from it's da survival of the fittest
if you ain't got da means better know how to get it
see where i come from we be hangin' with da joneses
buyin' shyt with ill gotten gains and mu fucck who knows it
see where i come from brothers be ridin' to rule
be bangin' da beats from whips strictly ol' school
see where i come from it's a place that's divided
different colors in sections and we're all misguided
see where i come from you can be easilly shot
just as many die in da hood as they do in iraq
see where i come from we be spreadin' da gossip
mouths be runnin' faster than water from the faucet
see where i come from it's all i've known
you may call it the ghetto, i call it home

HJ, this is fabulous. You have the gift. If I ever get anywhere in this life where people will listen, then I'm gonna show them this great stuff. I hope you put a book together someday. Skater.

AYO Skater, Thank You for your comments and your support. As far as a book is concerned a brother has a long way to before he can reach that level but thanks to you I think I've found my niche though. You can change your comment of, if you get anywhere in life to when you get to where you want to be in life. For "the skies the limit" for you my sister, just stay true to yourself and I know you'll be fine because the Gods are with you.
I'm lookin' forward to reading your next piece you know I love it when a sister has the "strength to go the length" and I really like your Avatar. Your friend, and fan, HJ.
