Silas Price, Jem - Where U From, 5? Lyrics

See where I'm from
Arkansas, Little Rock
Everybody getting shot
Everybody getting dropped
Everybody hating on everybody but pretending that they really not.
Anything just to make it out, a Dalmatian just wanting they spot
Love comes in the sickest ways, end up hatred up in they hearts
Then faking like they hard
Playing Monopoly but stuck on Start
Wonder why we as community ain't never really made it far
Mama said the candle lights always shines brightest in the dark
It was Tuesday when I got off
Put a few hours into the job
Came home to worst fear, seen my whole entire house robbed
It was the only time that a young brother had ever really called the cops
22 year old grown man crying in his mother arms
Tried to do it the right way, and to get here it took a lot
Demons creepin in my thoughts
Insurance won't cover the costs
Ran off with half the house plus 2 Bands in a safe box
Worst part is It May be one of my friends, who could have knew that these snakes walked?
Or the neighbors
Be careful y'all cause Folks watch and they plot
Tried to build a connection, show the real me, and give a girl a piece of my heart
But I swear love is so weird and I know these trust issues play a part
But how you expect to someone to show their bare self when it comes with some scars
Kept going, wasn't satisfied
Seen some friends and family die
Life can end at anytime
Don't know who I'll see in the afterlife
That's why I go so hard hoe
No sorrow
Keep m'head high bro
Stopped living for the future and started living for tomorrow

Lotta Shit on my mind so tonight I'll roll this weed on up
Keep the iron on my side just in case tonight my demons come
From a city with some foes and some friends, aye
Be careful cause it's hard to know which is which, yea
They don't show too much love in this side
Where U From?
(Hollup)
Where U From, 5?

Ya boy from Lil Rock
Just a Kid from the 5
(501)
Home of the Kings and Queens
City of Dreams, City of Lies
Got damn!
This City full of Life but seem like every week somebody die
Gun violence up at an all-time high
Make it a hard to even come outside
Mama don't cry
Imma be fine
Know I'm on yo mind
When you wait at Night
Waiting for my calls and my replies
You a queen up in my eyes
Don't wanna die
Ain't lotta time
You know I gotta grind
Gotta get this bag
Straight to work after I hit this class
After that imma hit the trap
I mention that
If You love someone make sure that they know
Cause don't be showing them the love they deserve when they gone
It's a lot I want to get done before I hit the other side
Changing Lives
Creating Vibes
Doing it All from the 5!

Lotta Shit on my mind so tonight I'll roll this weed on up
Keep the iron on my side just in case tonight my demons come
From a city with some foes and some friends, aye
Be careful cause it's hard to know which is which, yea
They don't show too much love in this side
Where U From?
(Hollup)
Where U From, 5?

I'm from the 501
(501)
Where there's a lot of problems and issues
And used tissues
And toxic people who will stab you in the back right after they kiss you
Where there's trouble all around
Not that many mentors sought and not that many mentors found
I'm from the 501
Where it's hard for little girls to find love because
Little boys tote around drugs and guns
And don't know the damage they cause until after it's done
Where positive outlets and safe spaces
Aren't all in our faces
Where education isn't doing its job in our communities
And where we're losing our youth because of lack of opportunities
But we aren't just statistics
I'm from the 501
Cole said there's beauty in the struggle
And even though we have some problems there's still greatness in this city
There's still art and creativity
There's still some people willing
To stop all the stealing
And stop all the killing
And to start this city's healing
It's gonna take work
So we're gonna have to work
And build from the ground up starting with the dirt

Even though we have some problems there's still greatness in this city
Where U From
(Hollup)
Where U From, 5?

Even though we have some problems there's still greatness in this city
Where U From
(Hollup)
Where U From, 5?

I'm from the 501
