Coming from Where I'm From

"Coming from Where I'm From" is a song by American rapper Lupe Fiasco, released as the 14th track from his mixtape, Fahrenheit 1/15 Part I: The Truth Is Among Us (2004). It samples the 2003 song "Comin' from Where I'm From" by Anthony Hamilton and the 1974 film The Education of Sonny Carson.
== Critical reception ==
The Fader described it as a "masterwork," where "its second verse alone imagines a kid on the curb, captivated by a local hustler's passing car, a man sitting in county fretting about whether or not his partner will wait for him if he takes a plea deal, and ends with the heartbreaking couplet 'We bring our sons up to get gunned down, our daughters to have more / It's war.' That verse thankfully gives way to a final one that allows a little optimism to creep in."Thompson, Paul (May 2, 2019). "The Brilliant Ambiguity of Lupe Fiasco's 'The Truth Is Among Us'". The Fader.
