where was u?

I ride around hittin' licks
With this smoke in my lungs
I swear that once upon a time
I wasn't trainin' with thugs
I was out in the A doin' shit, I'm not proud
Couldn't even tell my mama
I know she'd have a cow
Now I'm gettin' this money
Goin' the legal route
Born with hustlin' in my blood
My people out in a drought
So tell me, where is the love?
Baby where is the feeling?
Before I started gettin' money
People actin' 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 gettin' it and everybody knows
Everybody knows
Cause now I'm gettin' it and everybody knows
So where was you when everybody hated me?
Cause now I'm gettin' it, I got it on my own
On my own alone
These commas up on my mind
Always thinkin' 'bout M's
Lately I don't gotta try
This shit just keep comin' 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 sleepin' on me
So tell me, where is the love?
Tell me, where is the feeling?
Before I started makin' 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 gettin' it and everybody knows
Everybody knows
Cause now I'm gettin' it and everybody knows
So where was you when everybody hated me?
Cause now I'm gettin' it, I got it on my own
On my own 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 keepin' 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 gettin' it and everybody knows
Everybody knows
Cause now I'm gettin' it and everybody knows
So where was you when everybody hated me?
Cause now I'm gettin' it, I got it on my own
On my own alone
