Where Was U?

(album: Help - 2015)

I ride around hitting licks
With this smoke in my lungs
I swear that once upon a time
I wasn't training with thugs
I was out in the A
Doing shit, I'm not proud
Couldn't even tell my mama
I know she'd have a cow
Now I'm getting this money
Going the legal route
Born with hustling in my blood
My people out in a drought
So tell me, where is the love?
Baby where is the feeling?
Before I started getting money
People acting like demons
Now hold up

Cause I know, I know you see it now
I know
I know, I know

Where was you when I was hungry?
Where was you when I was all alone?
Where was you when I was lonely?
Cause now I'm getting it and everybody knows
Everybody knows
Cause now I'm getting it and everybody knows
So where was you when everybody hated me?
Cause now I'm getting it, I got it on my own
On my own
Alone

These commas up on my mind
Always thinking 'bout M's
Lately I don't gotta try
This shit just keep coming in
I got a safe with my watches
Watches, snatchers and thieves
Mama wanted a crib
I put her out on the beach
And it got dark for a minute
Even too dark for myself
The city took their time with Bear
I guess they sleeping on me
So tell me, where is the love?
Tell me, where is the feeling?
Before I started making records
Boy this shit had a ceiling, but hold up

Cause I know, I know you see me now
You see me now
And I know

Where was you when I was hungry?
Where was you when I was all alone?
Where was you when I was lonely?
Cause now I'm getting it and everybody knows
Everybody knows
Cause now I'm getting it and everybody knows
So where was you when everybody hated me?
Cause now I'm getting it, I got it on my own
On my own
All alone

Yo bro, just wanted to give you a call to update you on these label deals. We have to turn down another one. It is what it is. But you know what I always say: It just has to make sense. And maybe the lane makes no damn sense, so we do like we always do, keep on keeping on cause these labels just want what we've been building, for so long. Alright?

Where was you when I was hungry?
Where was you when I was all alone?
Where was you when I was lonely?
Cause now I'm getting it and everybody knows
Everybody knows
Cause now I'm getting it and everybody knows
So where was you when everybody hated me?
Cause now I'm getting it, I got it on my own
On my own
All alone
