Where I've Been |
| (To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands… |
| Well I understand that) |
| It’s been hard for me Trying strugglin' in the streets |
| But where I’ve been- Is no longer where I’m at And where I’m going- Is not where I’m stoppin' at It’s been hard for me Trying strugglin' in the streets |
| But where I’ve been- Is no longer where I’m at And where I’m going- Is not where I’m stoppin' at I grew up as a 70's baby |
| Brought up in poverty and sin |
| Makin' jokes at the crazy lady |
| Never acred how she was dealin' within |
| I knew all the words to Micheal Jackson’s album as a kid |
| And when it came to the biggest crusher |
| No he wasn’t my man |
| At the age of seven years old |
| A strange thing happened to me Before I even saw |
| My life had flashed before me And I’ve got the mark to show |
| And it became a thang of beauty |
| So I gotta let you know |
| That my life, that my life |
| It’s been hard for me Trying strugglin' in the streets |
| But where I’ve been- Is no longer where I’m at And where I’m going- Is not where I’m stoppin' at It’s been hard for me Trying strugglin' in the streets |
| But where I’ve been- Is no longer where I’m at And where I’m going- Is not where I’m stoppin' at It’s been hard for me Trying strugglin' in the streets |
| But where I’ve been- Is no longer where I’m at And where I’m going- Is not where I’m stoppin' at Now mama’s workin' hard all day |
| And she said this before she left home |
| Take care of your little brother |
