Where I Am

(album: How We Intended - 2021)

I done had me a streak of bad days
Yesterday was the best in a while
I been bottling a lot in my safe
But I make my confessions and smile
And they been rare in the air that I share
But the fare isn't fair to make wear turn to their soul
I think I'm where I'm supposed to be
I think I'm where I am, where I am, where I am
And I came wit a lot to lose
But so did every man wit a lot to prove
Beats in my x-rays showed a lotta wounds
Stick the quell through my chest dip the blood in it
I just wanna paint my soul wit it
I just wanna shape my goals wit it
Sometimes to get clean gotta soak in it
So I'm where I'm supposed to be, I'm where I'm supposed to be

Yeah, one time for the one time
This for every soldier on the frontline
On the battlefield of tryna find a mass appeal
Of struggling internal tryna make em see your battle's real
I see you, know that I be a
Know that you the only judge knows if the trial's real
You ain't cappin when actions start wit an idea
They just rappin like alpaca but they Ikea
You could sweep cheap dirt under expensive rug
But eventually you still gon' get some bugs
The recipe ain't filled with gentle hugs
I make peace with ingredients that I get from thugs
Beauty's ugly, pain is pretty, growth hurts and peace is loud
And ain't much worth more to me than being proud
Still tryna figure this "me" shit out
But I guess that's what it is, I can see it now

I done had me a streak of bad days
Yesterday was the best in a while
I been bottling a lot in my safe
But I make my confessions and smile
And they been rare in the air that I share
But the fare isn't fair to make wear turn to their soul
I think I'm where I'm supposed to be
I think I'm where I am, where I am, where I am
And I came wit a lot to lose
But so did every man wit a lot to prove
Beats in my x-rays showed a lotta wounds
Stick the quell through my chest dip the blood in it
I just wanna paint my soul wit it
I just wanna shape my goals wit it
Sometimes to get clean gotta soak in it
So I'm where I'm supposed to be, I'm where I'm supposed to be

Fuck what you tryna prove
Define the rules
Decide to do what
Behind the glue when times is blue
I tried to fool
I climb to new heights to find time to prove
If I should lose, least they don't have my soul
Guess I'm past my goals and need to redefine my prime
And so they won't drive my woes
I'm finally alive I know
