Where are they now? where are they now?

Yo

like where are they now?
When you were down they were running their mouth, but where are they now?
Cus now you’re up and they’re calling it luck cos they don’t know how (tryna figure it out)
At the start all they did was doubt, didn’t wanna hear cus you didn’t have clout when you needed them the most they were no where to be found

Some people say or do anything for a following
That’s why they don’t wanna see another brother win
You gotta keep moving take honour in your ting
ignoring the pagans in their sheep skin
Those who show love from the ground up
never take for granted that’s family and that’s kin
but those who are bitter cus they haven’t got your talent,
snakes and backstabbers they can get dashed in the bin with no care
where are they now? They’re nowhere.
couldn’t see the potential now it’s so clear
only a couple of real ones that I hold dear,
Persevere with no doubt and no fear
head down grounded always sincere
all the way to the top and when you get there
remember those who doubted that you’d get there

Sitting with a glass of the fine wine
and though I’ve never really liked the grapevine
I’ve always had a minute for some Marvin
swig of Havana got me betting on my chances
Bit of lime for the times that I’ve been betrayed
brown sugar medication with the sour taste
hit the potion getting faded when the hours late
got me reminiscing bout when I went from
‘I just wanna fuck today’
to ‘I just came for some love to make’ type mood but
I can really sense some change like a fiend with an expectant face so let me lay it out quick
I’ve been doing rounds of the same old shit,
just changing the walls of the house I’m in
with the same stories and the same old sins
I guess the real question is
where did you go? cus I can swear that I’ve been here the whole time
I’m doing alright just in case you’re wondering or does it even matter if I even made it out alive to you?
You’re probably hoping I woulda been burning out by now
instead the flames so hot I be putting fountains out
And in my belly the fire raging, since it was ignited I can’t say that I’ve been the same but anyway
Now a little time has past and still the answer remains at large bout where the fuck you are
Honestly I can’t be asked
no apologies you had your chance
if you were never really there at the beginning you don’t deserve a seat at the spaceship when we shoot through the ceiling, collecting all the winnings, munching on some cheddar, Nix Northwest 97’ to forever.
