Lyrics of Where Would I Be? by G Herbo
[Intro]
Uh, Uh
Uh, Uh
Uh
Can’t Tell Me I Ain’t One Of The Realest,
I Ain’t One Of The Trillest Niggas, No Bap
Stood On That Shit, Man, I Got Brain Freeze
All Ten Toes, Everybody Equal
You Know What I’m Sayin’, We All Move Like Generals [?]
Uh
[Verse 1]
Can’t Forget Where I Come From, Remember Vivid, Gang (Remember Vivid)
Only Got One Life, So Make The Right Decisions, Gang
I Was Up Late Nights To Be In This Position, Gang (Know That)
Don’t Give Up When Shit Get Tough, Complete The Mission, Gang
Suited Up, We Left They Block Like The Militia Came (Rah)
Still A Hop Out With My Glock, You Know I’m Pistol, Gang (Uh)
Gotta Look At My Lil’ Brother In A Picture Frame (Damn)
Shit Almost Drove Me Insane, Damn, I Miss You, Gang (I Miss You, Nigga)
I Was Young, Earned All My Stripes, I Been Official, Gang (I Been Official)
Been A Real Nigga All My Life, Ain’t No Dirt On My Name (No Black, Nah)
They Can’t Wait To Stab Your Back, No Matter How Far You Came (No Matter How Far You Came)
Family First, Free Smurk, That’s How He Got Detained (How He Got Detained)
Shit Hurt ’cause I Had Love For Bro Before The Fame
When You Get Rich And Beat The Streets, You Gotta Know Your Lane (Gotta Know Your Lane)
My Pops Died, I Spoke To Meek, He Said, “I Feel Your Pain” (Feel My Pain)
Sizzle Always Close To Me ’cause I Know He Won’t Change (Won’t Ever Change)
[Verse 2]
Max Died, I Really Cried Tears In The Rain (Cried)
Cap Died, It’s Been Like Nine Years, Still The Same
I Been Geeked Up, Every Day, I Barely Feel A Thing (Barely Feel Shit)
Need A Vacation, Too Much Trauma In My Brain
Sometimes I Can’t Face It, Always Go Through Different Phases (Phase)
I Told Her, “Stay Patient, Havin’ Problems With My Main Bitch” (Ayy)
Even Though I Hate Waitin’, If I Want It, I’ma Take The Shit (Take)
When You Married To The Game, It Fuck Up Relationships
Can’t Be Married To The Streets, That’s A Real Unfaithful Bitch
Plus, I Grew Up Over East, Inside The Belly Of The Beast
Anytime We Had Beef, I Was Lacin’ Up My Cleats (Go)
Before The World Knew Him As A Drench, It Was Just Me And Maurice
[Verse 3]
Vamp, We Up, No Sleep (No Sleep)
Ain’t Tryna Make No Peace (Uh)
Slidin’ On Shit All Week (All Week)
I’m Tryna Swap My Vehicle (Uh-huh)
Pink Slip, Not No Lease
Ain’t Tryna Catch No B, Is You? (No)
You Ain’t Tryna Ride With Me, Is You? (Ayy)
Wanna Send Threats To Me? (Huh)
Yeah, I Can’t Wait To See (Come On)
If It’s Been Ten Casualties, We Up Seven To Three (Seven To Three)
I’m No Limit, Like Master P (No Limit)
Without Rap, Where Would I Be? (Where Would I Be?)
Shootin Straps’, Where Would I Be? (Where Would I Be?)
In The Trap, Where Would I Be? (Where Would I Be?)
Right Now, I’m In Them Cali Streets
[Verse 4]
Since A Young Nigga I Been Havin’ Cheese
House Big Like I’m In The Nba
Athletes By Me Down The Street (Ayy, Ayy)
Dead Broke, I Was Just On The 8 (Ayy)
Fled On A High Speed On The Jakes
Need To Get A Vaccine ’cause I’m Sick
.40 Glock Leave Blood On Your Face
Whenever I Leave Home, Got My Blick (I Got It)
I Let This Bitch Off On A Date (Any Day)
Bitches Wanna Date Me ’cause I’m Lit (I’m Lit)
Most Of My Hoes Be A Different Race (Yeah)
Fuck These Bitches, I’m From The Trenches (Trenches)
Ditched Me When I Was Last Place
Now A Nigga Blessed, I Made A Way (Yeah)
I Don’t Really Ever Have A Bad Day
I’m Still Bringin’ In Cash Plays
I Came Up On Section 8 (You Know That)
He Was Lakeside, Got His Ass Blazed
We Ran Everything Past Yates
Two Parent Home, One-half Raised (No Bap)
But I Had Real Killers Show Me The Way (No Bap)
I Had Real Niggas Show Me The Way (No Bap)
Some Of Them Niggas Still Owe Me Today (No Bap)
