Where Would I Be
Where would I be today
If I never left PA
Somewhere toting grips wit Rim
Berto, Jamaican Dave
Or Hopping the fence wit Dre, Lew and Rik & them
That's 20 years deep
Still my negus I speak for them
But where I be
My nigga where would I be
Where I be
My nigga where would I be
Where would I be today
If I grew up wit my pops
My moms found a half a brick
Wrapped in the closet tucked
My momma a southern belle
Her daddy was a farmer
My pops was gettin bales
My grand father did concerts
So where would I be
My nigga where would I be
Where would I be
My nigga where would I be
Where would I be today
If I didn't start rapping
I ain't have studio bread
I had to start trapping
First it was bootlegging
Moved to electronics
Then it was strippers and narcotics
I'm never proud of
Brought some equipment wit it
Recorded the city wit it
Egos to the side we unite we can really get it
Koch was throwing deals
Atlantic negotiating
FEDS came down on everyone in association
Man where would I be
Imagine where I would be
Where would I be
My nigga where would I be
Where would I be today
If I would've gave up
After that hit
I took a 2 year hiatus
Got full custody of my daughter
To raise up
Priorities shifted from the gift into making money
What is God given no one can take it from me
Came back radio rotation for me
Yeah I thought I had it all
But I wanted more
Selfishly I put my dreams all in front of yours
Where would we be
No telling where we would be
Where would I be
Love where would I be
Where would I be today
If I never beat the case
Thats both of Aaliyah parents
In places we can't escape
Angie did five straight
Learned from her mistakes
Geezy be home soon
JPay keep em laced
Ain't where he should be
No tellin where he could be
Where would I be
My nigga where would I be
Where would I be today
If he would've caught stray
Riding thru the south, Lil Ozy a 38
Special kinda night licking off like an envelope
The aftermath of that could've put my life in a scope
Man where would I be
I'm saying where would I be
Crazy shit (uh)
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
If I never left PA
Somewhere toting grips wit Rim
