Where We Both Started (feat. JB!! aka Dirty Moses)

How do we get there from here When we're too far away from the place

Where we both started Is it a long road less traveled

I'm at the crossroads in the gravel Like there's a fault but it's a direction

That's padded I'm back in the saddle and this is my journey

But how did I get here There was no GPS there is no map for this

Life No owner's manual to navigate through the

Stresses and strife But this is what we call life

Started from the bottom, no cliché Born and raised in Harlem, few blocks

On the freeway Now I'm far removed but six degrees of separation

From being confused Music is the medication to keep me sane with

All the crazy we're facing This can't be the same space as I grew up

In I don't recognize this place or these faces

And they want me to be gracious? Nah

How do we get there from here When we're too far away from the place

Where we both started I guess I wasn't supposed to be here

I defied all the odds and statistics I even doubted what was convoluted

Narrowed it down and made it simplistic Spoon-fed you food for thought

I mixed the candy with the medicine Made it palatable, easy to digest

No upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation I guess, I digress, I confess

I've been blessed, I surpassed expectations, laid them to rest

I am no different from you Where we both started, right in the womb

Where we both going, right to the tomb We won't make it out alive

But while we're here, let's make things livable and even better than when we arrived

This is all by design, right

How do we get there from here When we're too far away from the place

Where we both started Where we both started

Where we both started Where we both started

Where we both started
