Where I Wanna Be

[Hook]

In the darkest days, the rain that falls

Hear me from the life that calls

And all the things I need to find an answer for

But in the end I know I'll see

The truth in all that I believe

I do what I gotta do

Cause I know that this is where I wanna be

[Verse 1: DMX]

Got a lot to say, but don't know who to talk to

Step with a purpose, but don't know where to walk to

Anything I ever said, ever meant something?

I know, because the person I said it to, told me it meant something

My life has a meaning, my life has a purpose

No matter how dark it gets, I knew that it was worth it

Fuck what it looked like on the surface

Seen it all, but not all heard us, like sometimes i was worthless

Can't expect everybody to get what you doing

Can't expect them all to be with what you doing

Don't give a fuck if a motherfucker hate me

What you think it is with me, but whats good with you lately

I hate when i sense this shit, trying to make sense of this shit knowing that its sensitive shit

Niggas so dumb, that they don't even censor shit

You sent the shit, so I know you meant the shit you senseless bitch

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Big Stan]

Born with addiction with fast living with high stakes

I race down a highway of life with no breaks

Make no apologies for the risks that I take

And manning up to the repercussions that I face

No silver spoon, I was raised in a crowded room

Rarely seen the sun, faced a lot of gloom

I hit the streets too soon before 21

Working on the clock since and on it until I'm done

I'm never clocking out, but always locking in

I had a warm heart, lost a lot of friends

And losing them make me feel like I was drowning

So please forgive the chill I know you feel when you around me

Dreamed of living right, big family, the picket fence

Grandkids I will get to share my story with

But here I am, living vile as I stand ground

Just hope it doesn't end, with shots fired, man down

[Hook]

[Verse 3: DMX]

If I could bottle the inspiration

I'd be a billionaire, straight fuckin villain yeah

X, baby you still in here

I feel the air, I can smell the death in it

We were all left in it, so fuck nigga, step with it

The walk is easy, the journey ain't worth nothing

That's why every day a nigga wanna hurt something

But, I made progress, more or less

If I can avoid the stress, I can avoid the rest

A nigga stay dealing with the bullshit daily

Niggas is worse than the bitches, y'all hear me?

Straight up and fed up (what!), i'll have you sprayed up and wet up (what!)

Now you laid up and won't get up

Now look at what the fuck you got yourself into

All I did was open the curtains and you jumped out the window

That's what suckers do

You just a punk motherfucker you, got a nigga like motherfucker OOH!
