Anthony Hamilton - Comin' from Where I'm From [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Sitting here guess I didn't make bail
Got time and a story to tell
Started when I was nine years old
Woke up my daddy was gone
I started hustling they couldn't tell me nothing
Fronting in the hood trying to be somebody
My soul was on empty
I was searching for something

[Pre-Hook]
Tried to be good; Tried to keep from trouble
Living too fast; Trying to make good on a hustle

[Hook]
Sometimes it gets rough
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Times have got hard
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Some times you gotta walk to work
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from

[Verse 2]
Wasn't really looking guess I found it
Five foot three, light brown skin
Coming from the university
Nice style, looking kinda lovely
Didn't know she had much game
Down to ride out, even take the train
Even took her to a poker game
She's top notch from fried chicken to sushi

[Pre-Hook]
Tried to be good; tried to treat you like a lady
Tried to be a friend; turned out that you were shady

[Hook]
Sometimes it gets lonely
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Things ain't what they seem to be
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you get a little angry
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you get the best of me
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from

[Bridge]
Well, tried to be good (I tried), wanted nothing but to love somebody
Didn't wanna die young, steady hustling trying to feed my family
Too scared to have kids and do like daddy did, cause I'm so scared of failing
Sometimes it gets hard, coming from where I'm from

[Hook]
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta moan
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta cry a little bit louder
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta fight the pain
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta walk alone
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you get a little worried
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you get lost outta touch
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes I think I pray a little bit too much
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes I get a little scared
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes I get a little scared
Coming from where I'm from, I'm from
