Where I Wanna Be - DMX

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

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

F**k 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 f**k if a motherf**ker hating

What you think it is with me

But whats good with you lately

I hate when I sense this sh*t

Trying to make sense of this sh*t

Knowing that it's sensitive sh*t

Niggas so dumb that they don't even sense the sh*t

You said the sh*t

So I know you meant the sh*t you said

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

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 my ground

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

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

If I could bottle the inspiration

I'd be a billionaire straight f**king villian yeah

X baby you still in there

I feel the air I can smell the death in it

Yall be lefting

It so f**k ni**a step with it

The walk is easy the journey ain't worth nothing

That's why every day a ni**a wanna hurt something

But I made progress more or less

If I can avoid the stress I can avoid the rest

A ni**a stay dealing with the b******t daily

Niggas is worse than the b**ches yall 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 f**k 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 motherf**ker you

Got a ni**a like motherf**ker OOH

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

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
