Where My Heart Is - Slaine

This goes out to my wife Erica

Who always holds me down, taking care of our son

This goes out to every mother out there

Whether you have a man in your life or you don’t, trying to take care of a child

I know how hard it is to raise a child and this worlds ruthless You’re tired

all the time

You’re startin' to feel youthless

Together Mommy and Daddy

Well the truth is trying to make it work sometimes can be a nuisance

Especially if the fridge is never filled, the booth drips

And the boys growing out his clothes, do his shoes fit?

That’s why I’m always goin' hard with this music

Cause I want my little man to have a good future

I put food on the table cause I’m able to

We got a nice place to live, cars and cable too

We went through our struggle but we made it through

And going back to having nothing I’m afraid to do

He got the best Mom and Nana and the best Grammy

Even though I know sometimes they can’t stand me

There ain’t nothing that means more than family

And I’m just trying to be the best man that I can be

I’m hoping that you’ll understand what it means to me

(To know that you’re there)

I give you my word as a man that you’re where my heart is

('Cause this is where my heart is)

I have my issues they’ve been documented publicly

My wife knows it won’t stop my son from loving me

She sees a side of me that the public doesn’t see

But still society can judge, turn you ugly

I’ve been trying to do the right things suddenly

I remember just the way my Momma used to Mother me

And when the rain came left the ground puddly

I had the love she gave me walkin through the mud with me Maybe that’s what

save me from going crazy as a grown man

She taught me how to stand on my own damn

So when I think back I was never alone man

Now it’s time for me to raise my own fam

I’m hoping that you’ll understand what it means to me

(To know that you’re there)

I give you my word as a man that you’re where my heart is

('Cause this is where my heart is)

Got my home, got my fam, got my guard, got my plans

Hopin' that my feet don’t fail me now

Been travelin' on this road a while

And I’ll go (I'll go)

I’ll go 'til I can’t no more

From my heart I’ll go (I'll go)

To see you live the life that you deserve to know

Son, you know you have roots with me and it grows deep

You’re the reason I’m up all night working with no sleep

I’m still the same kid who used to live on O street

I’m still the same dude who believed what they told me

I watch my best friends die an OD and never shed a tear saying «oh no woes me»

I slept and did the crime with the nose bleed

I still have the vision they mostly don’t see

Don’t ever let nobody tell you that you won’t be

And when you’re lonely I’ma always be your homie

You’re my little dude, I mean you’re my little man I’ma always fight for you

kid I’m never giving in

I’m hoping that you’ll understand what it means to me

(To know that you’re there)

I give you my word as a man that you’re where my heart is

'Cause this is where my heart is, where my heart is

Where my heart is, my my heart

This is where my heart is
