Uh, nobody told me life would ever be this way

Everywhere I go you know I need the thang

Paranoid, always looking both ways

Asking the Lord, please give me better days

Man, I'm caught up in the field life

Everywhere I go, always gotta keep a still life

Keep a thang, cause I might get kill life

Man, this ain't fiction this real life

I lost a gang of homies to the graveyard

Lot of homies caught cases, so they in the state yard

Death gotta be easy cause life stay hard

Blame it on your parents, like you was raised wrong

Na, we just came from a broken home

In and out of jail, lotta shit going on

Committing crimes to survive even though its wrong(yeah)

If I dies, you gonna ride for my tombstone

You don't know where we came from

Lost a couple niggas, some my day ones

Through all that pain, I stay A-1

I'm here on my grind trying make something

Uh yeah

Cause you don't know where we come from(come from, come from)

Where we come from, you can't go(can't go)

You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

You don't really understand my pain huh?

All this bullshit, I should've went insane huh?

I lost a gang of niggas from the gang uh

But it told that it comes with the game uh

His son was only three how he gonna stomach that?

Dester and the Migos, we gonna double back

Back to back lay him on his back

N**a's shit getting real, keep it strapped

Man it's dangerous

That's why every time we move, we keep that thang with us

Police want to lock us up, trying to strangle us

Oakland Athletics, Atlanta Braves, and angels up

We gonna check your resume if you wanna bang with us

Probation period, if you ever want to hang with us

Finna kill them feels coming straight to the city

Grandma shake their hand while they pray for us

Oh god

You don't know where we came from

Lost a couple niggas, some my day ones

Through all that pain, I stay A-1

I'm here on my grind trying make something

Uh yeah

Cause you don't know where we come from(come from, come from)

Where we come from, you can't go(can't go)

You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

You don't know
