where we at now

Lyrics

Hook — "Where We At Now"

Where we at now?
Thoughts from yesterday still stewin', still brewin'
Too late, already ruined, no clue, just doin'
Wheels on the street turn, smoke never leavin'
Where we at now?
Where we at now?

Verse 1
Mind frame stuck in a loop, pot left on simmer
Hope was weighted, waited, faded to a glimmer
Prone position, looked unthreatening on the surface
Doubt rattled the alarm inside them halls, no purpose
Nobody stopped, nobody listened, they underestimated
That whole situation, now it's elevated
You complain, then push it to the next level
Dancin' with the devil in your own realm, no rebel

Verse 2
Pay attention, repentance for the moves that built fences
Price paid in hours, days, months, no defenses
We shall never ever be down, hell and hot water
Stay dead to the fake, let the real get hotter
Missed me with that dead boy energy, I rose
Sittin' high off the negative, debris in the throes
Shit ain't new to me, I seen it in the background
Perception twisted, but the truth still stands ground

Hook — repeat
Where we at now?
Thoughts from yesterday still stewin', still brewin'
Too late, already ruined, no clue, just doin'
Wheels on the street turn, smoke never leavin'
Where we at now?
Where we at now?

Bridge / Outro
Fuck around, catch a trigger, hear a eulogy
Jack my background, but you can't fool me
This ain't proceeds from perception, this is lived
Now we here — tell me, where we at, kid?

Want me to lay this over a beat? I can build a dark, boom-bap loop or a trap 808 version and record the hook for you.
