Cause where I been ain't no love story... No Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory...
Where I been is stranger than any of that fiction that you watch on the telly, commercialized, canned and touted as news.
Where I been 12 year old girls sell they bodies, taught by they mama's how to get that money...
Where I been a 13 year old thug will put a slug in yo head, taught by older thugs how to put in work.
Leave a body cooling on the sidewalk with a hole in the front of it's head, brains hanging out the back.
A cold statistic told as startling fact by a smug white man on the evening news.
Where I come from the enemy drives a blue and white car and the government is the judge who sentences you for being poor... For being a menace... For being a deadbeat dad...
Where I been that's a fucking fact and the honest truth...
Where I'm from they done turned the woman against her man... To her he's just a sorry ass nigga... a sperm donor...
Where I'm from he objectifies his woman... To him shes just a bitch... A fine ass motherfucking hoe.
Where I'm from jailhouse stories become legend cause that's all a man has when he's been locked away from society... When he has become beast, institutionalized and stigmatized into thinking that he doesn't stand a chance.
Down here it's all a long way up... Down here its a very short fall... Down here there's no such thing as a level playing field... Fair simply means you didn't get fucked.
Where I'm from the preacher talks of saving the community while taking its money away... Spending it with the white man.
The G, the level and the square.
His children dressing so nice.
He living in a white neighborhood in a white house with a white picket fence... Meanwhile his congregation is living in hell.
The drug dealer is the local hero cause he drives a car like the preacher... Like the white man... He sitting on chrome and shining... 5 baby mamas and one mo on the way.
Slangin dope and dick all over the place.
White mans pawn.
Little boys wanna be like him and little girls give him blowjobs.
He tricks with little girls mama... She sucking the glass dick.
Yep down here shit is so real that you cant make shit like this up if you tried...
Down here its dat funk.
