Had To Be There

Oh you had to
Oh
Oh you had to

The game is all mine and I'm mighty possessive
In a generation that I didn't wanna be in

There's people thinking they'll get something by tryin their best
But they don't know they have to cut out the rest

Earlier this year I said I don't want to be here
Now I get the question whether i'm staying or not

But the real question is where I'll end up
I know for a fact I don't want to be locked up

I was always the one to save money and grow up

Oh you had to be there
Oh oh, you had to be there

I know, i know people love talking about me
About how I dress and rap in this modern era

I'll let them talk the talk cause they can't walk the walk
The same walk I'm walking that none of them can do

I will continue proving everything that's true
While I walk through the shadow of evil and death

This is all about earning and not being given
I don't need no tv sucking my

Oh you had to be there
Oh oh you had to be there
Yeah

Some dreams are supposed to make u go to sleep
Mine keep taking it away, always wanting more

Decided which direction i want to go towards
I want all the money and everything in store

With all the awards on the side from my journey

Grew up with a lot of things that are concerning
Read on the news that people are taking their own lives

Tryna to be somebody for somebody to be nobody
I know people who died but are still living

Those are the people that got me thinking
And then they start to type in Rip about it

And four weeks later nobody even speaks about it

Oh you had to be there
Oh oh you had to be there

Going back to a place that I never liked
Is like doing the things i said i'd give up

I knew this girl who said that she hates all men
But still goes out giving out head like its charity

She just wants all the attention set to be
Shoutout to the homies that never ran away

I had a twin who never backed down from anything
He is such a big part of my life I can't explain

I had another who had a respected ego
His main flaw was having heart in such generation

And a big shoutout goes to the whole nation
They were the ones who made such a creation

Oh you had to be there
Oh oh you had to be there

Im standing on top of every motherfucker
Who claims that they are over me in a what way

Shit is getting' so personal in your verses too
I wanna prove that I'm number one over everyone

Being' number two is just being the first to lose
Just like loose screws with some people that don't like you

But in reality they just want to do what you do
And yeah boy i'll rap like i've seen it all

Been observing the game and felt like I've seen enough
I'll drop the tape and see whats all about your bluff

I'll drop the tape and then we see whats up
(like please)

Why you rapping like you come from the streets?
I won't mind if i'll have some blood on my sleeves

Special order for anybody that's coming for me
Lately it has been getting harder for me to eat

I have big expectations that I got to meet
New life seems like it dropped a decade ago

I've been working so hard that I have my own flow

Oh you had to be there
Oh oh you had to be there

And now I'm going four mins off this beat
people judging about the junction but man

Fuck all the assumptions
Fuck all the discussions

You people are sick and have nothing going on
They scream out my failures and whisper my accomplishments

Overtextin' women that end up fucking my image
That end up creating stories about my life

But they know

Times have changed, who are we kidding'
They're the ones who end up lyriking

Oh you had to be there
Whole city know my name

Oh you had to be there
Coming from the city
You just had to be there
