Where I Am - Marlon Craft

I done had me a streak of bad days

Yesterday was the best in a while

I been bottlin' 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 strugglin' 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 bein' 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 bottlin' 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
