Oddisee - Where Would I Be?! lyrics

[Verse 1] A lot of roads, a lot of paths I done came Or i have traveled down and don't see sh** the same It's been quite thee amount of people that I've helped through-Out this game And if you ask em' bout it, I guarantee they'll start looking a you Strange; like nah If anything they'll probably throw dirt on my name God bless em' And if i f** with you, you know it, man, ain't no need to guess it If you owe me money my n***a you good It ain't no need to Stress it My money straight, got everything I need in my possession Thank God for the blessings, the recessions, my progression Or even when I regressed that just set me up for my success I don't ask a lot of questions When He say move I take them steps Feed my faith and starve my doubts n***a thats the whole point of the lesson I came up, them n***as lessened I caught a lick then I Invested, in some new kicks and some Laces Cause myself is who I'm racing Take yo' time, but not too much They might just think you being complacent And have a plan, cause saying prayers can't excuse preparation [Chorus A] Where would I be?! Where Would I (5x) Where would I be without my love for this game The blood that's running through my veins When I think from where I came I don't how I could complain Where would I Be? Where would I (5x) Where would I be Without my family or my partner's These dollars in my pocket Don't know how I could accomplish What i've done, so I'm asking Where would I be, be be [Verse 2] Before the song end, man, somebody gone get a break-though Trying to pop? Break them locks, do whatever you need to Break through Shoot it open, pry it off, rip the door from off the hinges Switch yo team, adjust the way your viewing sh** through both Your lens Use your brain, f** your heart n***a your heart can be deceitful What you feel ain't always right And what's fair ain't always equal Man we started from the bottom and went to the top of the Steeple And while they was rolling with a gang, I just had the right Amount of people: Me, myself and God I'm lying nobody does this sh** alone Cause if you're destined for it, I guarantee you'll have some Help along The way, but wait, look they will hate, and say you ain't'. gone Make Or take, the weight and face the snakes, erase And chase embrace where you end up n***a Stopping ain't a choice, failures not an option n***a, this how I feel It's all on you whether you adopt it Pray for em when they hate you Bless em' when they curse you Keep your faith But know your faith can never excuse hard work It's Gerald Walker, n***a [Chorus B] Where would I be?! Where Would I? (6x) Without my pride and my ambition When they hate and I didn't listen Stayed true to my position Got me asking myself n***a Where would I Be? Where Would I? (6x) Without this spirit in my body My cousin Akbar in that lobby With that .45 and that shotty Ready to blast on everybody Where would I be, be be [Break] (music plays) [Chorus A] Where would I be?! Where Would I (5x) Where would I be without my love for this game The blood that's running through my veins When I think from where I came I don't how I could complain Where would I Be? Where would I (5x) Where would I be Without my family or my partner's These dollars in my pocket Don't know how I could accomplish What i've done, so I'm asking Where would I be, be be
