Shad - Where I'm At Now lyrics

[Verse 1] Check it, yo I don't write much unless I'm depressed in a desk job Or getting stressed by some next broad And while currently I don't work Just part time but I'm one enjoying unemployment It's got its own perks Plus I'm not dealing with no skirts Back on my home turf Living with my pops and my old earth Getting my mind and some debt from my wallet cleared And chilling out with some solid peers I got more time for rhyming and to volunteer Just some stuff that I didn't do as much in my college years And seeing my cousin recover in the hospital Well that's been teaching me that nothing is impossible With God's help we can overcome the obstacles It's motivating me in my music to be responsible Though life was cool as a battle rapping cla** clown I kinda dig where I'm at now [Hook 2x] Keep your hearts warm In these dark storms This art form's For those that can't stand on their own We march for 'em And raise a fist up and never back down Yo, that's where I'm at now [Verse 2] Look, I'm not most likely to blow the spot I self-deprecate more than I boast, and I boast a lot Still I'm getting to perform tunes On big stages and I'm on kids' playlists in dorm rooms Right now I'm working on a tasteful toast For my best friend's wedding with no unsettling racial jokes Though it's all my squad says I got their favorite flow I'm grateful for anybody that's told me I was made to blow Cause I'm guessing that these labels won't They seem to wanna see the hotness Forgotten and fade to smoke Right now my style is somewhere between a playful quote And the words of a lost child trying to pray for hope My coffee table soaked in juice and my cable's broke It's kinda good though, I can't watch my favorite shows Right now to me being brave is dope 'cause we don't need more rappers Just some plain old courageous folks [Hook 2x]
