Where Will You Be - Phora

I’ve been trying to understand things

For what they are lately, but

I just feel like this shit’s a blessing and a curse

At the same time, you know?

But look

No where to hide, no need to run, put my life out in the open, it’s all me

Told my family: «You call me if you need it done, and you’ll see it done»

God gave me a million signs, I just needed one got a mic, I don’t need a gun

I got everyone saying I needed one

But they don’t know what I’ve been through

They don’t know what I’m going through

Seems like you gotta go through Hell &come back just so they notice you

Everything they said I wouldn’t be is what

I made them watch me grow into

They telling me it’s my time now, but

I feel like this shit is overdue, but I stuck to it

Any road block in the way, I’m-ma run through it

Put my life and pain in a song, rolled a blunt to it

Lost a lot of friends to this shit, that’s life man

They much to it, I drinked a bit, I smoked a bit

I’m just trying to feel numb to it

Let me tell you how it’s going down

Watch your backs, snakes all around

Came up in this game like:

«If they don’t let me in, I’m-ma burn it down»

Crazy how tables turning now

No label, no record deal

I’ve been learning how to do this shit on my own

Yours Truly taking over that’s the word

Around when I talk, nigga

When I feel I’m going nowhere

When the road is almost over

Where will you be?

Will you still ride?

Ride by my side or will you hide?

When the world is getting colder and all the weight is on my shoulders,

I won’t let it break me

Wasting no time, focus my mind, I’ll be alright

Got a lot of people trying to take my life

I’ve been grinding homie, day and night

Waking up, getting straight to work

Making shit happen, that’s the way to life

I ain’t ever been the lazy type

Lately, I haven’t been the same

It’s like, I’m writing music trying to save a life

But my little homie;

they just gave him life

Used to wake up in my mom’s house, roaches on

The ground

Funny how I’m now on the way, nigga’s hopping

I’m-ma drown

Fuck a white dress, and wedding ring

Had to move on to better things

I thought she was my everything, turned out not to be Anything, and that’s real

But none of this really mean shit without family

I’m just tryna spread love dawg, fuck a grammy

Cause even if I put my soul out on that stage

All these motherfuckers still would never understand me

But I wish I spoke to my pops more

Even if he can’t come around, man

I really wish we just talked more

This music shit;

it’s all I got

Tell me what the fuck would I stop for?

I won’t stop 'till I’m in your top 4

'Bout to take it up to that top floor

When I feel I’m going nowhere

When the road is almost over

Where will you be?

Will you still ride?

Ride by my side or will you hide?

When the world is getting colder and all the weight is on my shoulders,

I won’t let it break me

Wasting no time, focus my mind, I’ll be alright

And there you have it

We all come from somewhere

And we all got a start

Everyone has a beginning

And this is mine
