Where I'm From

I am from the bad side of town

where you hear gunshots all the time

I am from being raised the right way and

to help my elderly

I am from laughing with my family

and making memories

I am from church is life

and going everyday

I am from taking care of my grandma

and feeling all the pain to seeing her go pain free

I am from being raised so tough

that I don't know what's rough

I am from the trenches of 

fairview that shaped me

I am from deep within my roots

that all I know is to live & love

That's where I am from

Going through the motions
