Where I Am

I didn't get where I am today
By worrying about
How I'll feel tomorrow

I'm in a position where everything's documented
And now they have the truth
I will be less complimented
This is from me to you
You be me and I'm being you
I understand your point of view
But I doubt if you're comprehending
A cold world— imagine livin' on both sides
You're constantly gone
But your family want you close by
This life is made to survive, but most die
I'm ridin' this wave till it's no longer a boat ride
I'ma conquer feelings of those that I'm dealing with
Shout outs to the people who made a choice to be killin' it
Cut off a few people I was chillin' with
Just to show 'em I don't need 'em and I can seal this shit
This is as real as it gets
Get the idea—love or quit
You'll live with the pain
That's only if you make life a bitch
Lived through the storms without ringing the alarm
I coulda easily been gone
But I'm too strong

Still I move about freely
Though it all plays out eventually
I know whatever the case is
I know where my place is, I know
I call them like I see them

My Mama's the strongest female I ever known
May's very own
Played that man in that heavy tone
In and out that buildin'
Where some addicts had their children
Watch 'em suffer while the drug dealers
Roll around in that Chevy chrome
Did it for us
My father still kept up
Unlike these deadbeats, that man never left us
And I just wanna thank ya,
I'll never let ya down
Lil' somethin' you allowed for me to have when it was found
Take over
Work hard—the breaks over
Feel like I was the only one that was shaped boulder
Call me what you want—ya'll ain't colder
Carry what's on my back – bet you break ya shoulder
On the road where the traffic is involved
Your drive is like a car
At the end there is a star
That got your name on it
Frame on it
Soundtrack of my life with
Love and pain on it

Still I move about freely
Though it all plays out eventually
I know whatever the case is
I know where my place is, I know
I call them like I see them

People will talk but you will walk by
You see the rain before the blue sky
They all want something to believe in
When they sleep, you call them like you see them

Still I move about freely
Though it all plays out eventually
I know whatever the case is
I know where my place is, I know
I call them like I see them

Throw your ones up in the air
If you live low—dream high
The way things go just don't seem right
Aim for it
Just aim for it, oh

I sacrificed so much
To get where I am
And I'm here
I ain't lettin' nothin' stop me
I'm here
