4. Where I’m From where I'm from, lemonade fills me up and i realize that we've drunk it all before one customer, my brother and i where I'm from, recess was the biggest deal, everyone thinking they were too cool I'm from the late summer night cookouts the feasting upon Reese's and gummy bears where I'm from, things are laid back, outgoing and not judging where I'm from I swim, always have been where I'm from, The Lion King was my pride land I'm from the high dunes the chlorine water but most of all I'm just me
