Where Were You

Done been let down
Done been lied too
I swear God seen me through
Still stand like I'm bullet proof
It ain't nothing else to prove
All I'm going to do is win
He ain't put me here to lose
Took my hustling state of mind
And made it do what it do You can run my name in the dirt
As if I'm already dead
Praying for my downfall
What about them times that I fell
What about the love in my heart
And how it ain't none left
Pain gone away but the scars
Seem like the scars won't heal

Tell me how I escape the past
When it still play in my mind
Tell me how your love for me
Is based on the things I ain't got
But you say your love for me unconditionally
If it came from the heart
But see the difference between you and me
I'll be there whenever you call
Let you crawl on your own
Then teach you how to walk try my best to
Catch you when you fall.
Yeah it's been a long road but I made through the storm
God helped me rise above it all
I started gang banging found loyalty
For once in my life I had a family then my kids was born
Tried to leave the streets
But it's calling me, oh you ain't gone eat
So you dodging me, you gotta fam to feed
And your pockets hurt so you ain't gone sleep
I'm a throw you 4 2-5 a piece
Took a look in the mirror and I told myself
I'll die for you, you die for me
I'll be there for you you be there for me
I'll take the pain if you cry for me
At the end of the day all I got is me
Don't judge me then pray for me
Or lie to me then take from me
And you best believe I'll make a way for me
Been broke before ain't no breaking me
I just wanna make a bag living honestly
In this white man's world ain't no honesty
Yeah I fell more than once was it just my luck
That I got back up on my on two feet

Done been let down
Done been lied too
I swear God seen me through
Still stand like I'm bullet proof
It ain't nothing else to prove
All I'm going to do is win
He ain't put me here to lose
Took my hustling state of mind
And made it do what it do You can run my name in the dirt
As if I'm already dead
Praying for my downfall
What about them times that I fell
What about the love in my heart
And how it ain't none left
Pain gone away but the scars
Seem like the scars won't heal

I'm a dog no bark you bark at me
Better know I'm a bite back
Call yourself trying to handle me trying play my face
Ohh, no Ion like that
Better yet where I'm from we don't do cap
Started with a zip lock to a book bag
People say what I do make me look bad
I even in the mood to be looked at
Cold heart big gun in the backseat
I ain't got no time for the rift raft
I know a lot of ya'll don't really like me
I know my attitude stank like a hoe bath
Things that I been through where it come from
Look at it as me trying to give back
Real hard knock life when I came up
Feens still ask me where the dope at
Who would I be if I gave up
Still ended up going down the wrong path
Lie to me cause it made you look good
Now you wanna ask me where the trust at pull up with the stick
And let it hit, hit, hit, all I know better hit back
Pull up with your girl
While I'm driving her whip turn around give your chick back
Whoooaaa, gone keep it real you know what it is Ion even care
How it make you feel might forgive but how can I forget
Pain gone but the scars still here love gone
But the feelings still there Ion know I can feel it in the air
Built for this so I'm never giving in

Done been let down
Done been lied too
I swear God seen me through
Still stand like I'm bullet proof
It ain't nothing else to prove
All I'm going to do is win
He ain't put me here to lose
Took my hustling state of mind
And made it do what it do You can run my name in the dirt
As if I'm already dead
Praying for my downfall
What about them times that I fell
What about the love in my heart
And how it ain't none left
Pain gone away but the scars
Seem like the scars won't heal
