Where was you at when Adidas & Fila was the Nike of today? Where was you at when the street lights let you know it was the end of the day? Where was you at when Buster knocked Tyson out? Where was you at when to walk on certain streets you had to have clout? Where was you at when it was called redy rock? I was there so please dont say the block Where was you at late 80s early 90s when the Boys Club was jumping? Where was you at when the Ricans from the Toyota Club would set the hood on fire with their stereos thumping? Where was you at when King School Park, Higbee, was like the Rucker? Where was you at you lil sneaky mother... Where was you at when Jordan hit that last J to win his 6th ring? Where was you at when Luckys had the crazy cheese fries and chicken wings? Where was you at when O.J. got found not guilty? Blacks and Latinos smiled inside because we know the Justice system is filthy Where was you at when it was not the style for men to wear they jeans tight? Where was you at when you couldnt run and get a gun you had to fight? Where was you at when then cops beat the ish out of Rodney King? It wasnt a black or white thing it was and still is a wrong and right thing Where was you at when Craig Mack killed it with Flava In Ya Ear? Please dont say the hood because you wasnt here Where was you at when Hand use to have Nightmare On Ann Street? Where was you at when yellow shirts ran deep? Now this is where the where was you at gets deep Because where was you at when our stomachs was empty at night and we couldnt sleep? Where was you at when a lot of these fathers turned they backs? Where was you at when our sons and brothers went to sell crack? Where was you at when mommy was doing it on her own? And every night I asked God to bring my daddy home...

I believed in you Nothing you said was true, all you had was lies in you Now you mad at me for despising you But where was you at... when the landlord was evicting us Hopefully now you understand my issues with trust But trust me on this that asking some people where was you at back then is kind of foul Because a lot of them dont know where theyre at right now. Hey theres many things that can stimulate your memory to take you back in time and some of us can remember that day like it was yesterday, but where was you at has nothing to do with your physical location. Where was you at signifies what was your situation in life at these times, where was you mentally, financially, etc. Weve all been through struggles how and if we overcome determines whether we are weak or strong. Winners or quitters. If you dont want to be where you was at yesterday do something different today. Dont let someone who gave up on their dream talk you out of you chasing yours... Remember that guy who quit? Well me neither. History doesnt glorify quitters. Its the winners who are remembered. You do not have to be at the destination that defines success for you to be successful. If youre on the path to the destination youre already succeeding. May God be with you every step of the way.
