[Chorus] From the streets of South central, Smooth bringing the heat Something positive to listen to while bumping in your jeep When your rolling through your hood you know its all good Bringing dope tracks guaranteed to get you out your seat [Verse 1] I grew up in the city of South Central Los Angeles Never was scandalous knew how to handle it You never saw me throw a gang sign I was a kid and the man of the house at the same time Yeah I had a rough life but I made it through If I can make it through the hood then you can make it through too On my own thats the way it was I had drugs at my disposal but never even got buzzed I never wanted to go that route my lifes about Living right and Christ was my way out Sometimes I felt just to scream and shout the anger out Because of the hand I got dealt Ohhh But now life is ten times better Got a smile on my face didnt come from making cheddar Never thought that something good could make it out the slums And if you didnt know Ill straight tell you where Im coming from [Chorus] [Verse 2] Ive been thru my share of hard times glad that I was Held close thru the dark times someone to trust A place to get out of the rain in the midst of the storm Someone to ease all my pain in the cold keep me warm Who else but the man above he had his hand on me For that I got much love he made a man of me Things Ive only dreamed of gave me a family Now Im living happy where Im from thats unheard of Im committed to bringing out the good news Thats why Im came to leave my mark just like a tattoo Back in the day we never thought like who knew I had a destiny child so dont bugaboo Follow all your dreams reach all your goals Do what you gotta do dont stop let it flow Never thought that something good could make it out the slums And if you didnt know Ill straight tell you where Im coming from [Chorus]
