Behind the Mic

Yeah
11 years old (Years old)
Life got so cold
Since my paps hit the road
Skipped my whole boy hood that shit turned me to a man
Am not the same as I was a few years ago (I swear)
Boy I had to learn to do shit for myself (Myself)
No father figure so I couldn't ask for mamas help (Her help)
I looked away cause it hurt to see my mama cry
Ring Ring family not picking up now they trynna get back the fuck
Where was you when we hit deep
Where was you when I got sick
Where was you when mum was all alone trying to raise 3 kids
But now they grown huh
Fully functioning and they so strong
You can't take away the pain

Drowning deep in my tears
Eaten up by my fears
Praying to God for an answer
Yeah he came through with an answer but
Where were you at when I was lonely
Where were you at when I was drowning
Where were you at when I was drowning
When I couldn't get up in the morning
Drowning deep in my tears
Eaten up by my fears
Praying to God for an answer
Yeah he came through with an answer but
Where were you at when I was lonely
Where were you at when I was drowning
Where were you at when I was drowning
When I couldn't get up in the morning where were you at

It's,Its,Its for us to go farther, you know
Every time I speak I want the truth to come out, you know what am saying
Every time I speak I want a shiver
You know, I don't want them to be like they know what I'm gonna say cause it's polite
They know what I'm gonna say

I Go to church on a Sunday but shit just not working out
I feel so unlucky damn I think my time is running out
They say God time is the best but damn am running out of patience
Suicidal thoughts start kicking lord please take me out your death list
No where to run to family don't give a fuck no more
But mama hit me with scripture she said we won't luck no more
Thank God for my mother cause she keep me grounded with the faith
Now I go to bed smiling not because of luck but faith
But where was you when we hit deep
Where was you when I got sick
Where was you when mum was all alone trying to raise 3 kids
But now they grown huh
Fully functioning and they so strong (Boy they so strong)
You can't take away the pain (No way)

Drowning deep in my tears
Eaten up by my fears
Praying to God for an answer
Yeah he came through with an answer
Where were you at when I was lonely
Where were you at when I was drowning
Where were you at when I was drowning
When I couldn't get up in the morning
Drowning deep in my tears
Eaten up by my fears
Praying to God for an answer

Where were you at when I was lonely
Where were you at when I was drowning
Where were you at when I was drowning
When I couldn't get up in the morning where were you at
