I gave my heart out To the skies And I know everyone in this city Did the same I touched the truth it's Cold as ice Spoke to god in my bed with tears all on my face And we live in places Got our own ways it's Hard but we get to things My parents say it's Life got to play it What's the point of this? We live under the bridge in this city Windows and yellow lights make it pretty Some of us live check by check Some go out to rob, some live by debt Teachers and lawyers Docs, nurses, architects All the employers Artist, poets, Intellects They don't get no rest Praying and manifest But In these slow towns We don't got many fests Grateful mother put shoes on my feet Got a studio now I go and choose who i feat Get up in the morning, get food, do the sheets Self Discipline, get the paper, get the sheets Never seen a diamond but my soul is rich and I don't need no pity Somewhere little boy selling water just to make a living Never claimed luxury, appreciate humble beginnings When life gets tough, we keep it pushing We cannot live without the struggle We were made to feel this pain Our diamonds are our minds Our cash is in our time We We don't have much paper Gotta work to save up Wake early and make the ends meet See In these dangerous days yeah Gotta keep the faith that Better days will come That's how we do it where I'm from That's how we do it where we're from We mistake bombs for stars here We mistake grief for songs here Ain't one of the rich so they give a shit But I'm one to get the green you know my palm itch Best believe we going to do it with fashion though Aiming up catapult Got the style they try to replicate like calicos Man dreams don't cross us hope we make it to 30 These streets are dust This water is dirty Kicking balls since the youth They cannot keep us on mute We don't duck where they shoot It's cause we're used to abuse We don't duck we the goose Gone with the flow like the blues I see red ain't no blues Light up the candles they blew We cannot live without the struggle We were made to feel this pain Our diamonds are our minds Our cash is in our time We We don't have much paper Gotta work to save up Wake early and make the ends meet See In these dangerous days yeah Gotta keep the faith that Better days will come That's how we do it where I'm from That's how we do it where we're from That's how we do it, do it Soldier
