[Verse 1]
I grew up in St. Louis dirty, 314
It was nothing, I was accustomed to see one go
In that high rise building on that 14th floor
With them broke elevators, man that thing ran slow
Mom and pops at the crib told me, bless my plate
That government cheese for dinner, we on Section 8
Plus it's hard, mom's sick, daddy come home late
In them streets past three, tryna chase that weight
Mom's due, in and out of the hospital
I'm listening to shots riddle
All this while I was little
I'm thinking back
I'm thinking back this is weak and wack
Like objects, they stick us all in these projects
Yes, more or less think this the way it is
That God made us and God placed me in brown skin
Around sin
My grade school ain't get government aid
At young ages feel like that we got government played but...
[Chorus]
He placed me right here
Do you think about your place on the map
Some born in the suburbs, some in the trap
He placed you right there
Consider your race, your city and state
Your third world or US of A
He placed me right here
Consider your race
By God's design
You were placed in time and space
He placed you right there
Before the day of your birth
God decided where He wanted you to stay on this earth
He placed me right here
I grew up in St. Louis dirty, 314
It was nothing, I was accustomed to see one go
In that high rise building on that 14th floor
With them broke elevators, man that thing ran slow
Mom and pops at the crib told me, bless my plate
That government cheese for dinner, we on Section 8
Plus it's hard, mom's sick, daddy come home late
In them streets past three, tryna chase that weight
Mom's due, in and out of the hospital
I'm listening to shots riddle
All this while I was little
I'm thinking back
I'm thinking back this is weak and wack
Like objects, they stick us all in these projects
Yes, more or less think this the way it is
That God made us and God placed me in brown skin
Around sin
My grade school ain't get government aid
At young ages feel like that we got government played but...
[Chorus]
He placed me right here
Do you think about your place on the map
Some born in the suburbs, some in the trap
He placed you right there
Consider your race, your city and state
Your third world or US of A
He placed me right here
Consider your race
By God's design
You were placed in time and space
He placed you right there
Before the day of your birth
God decided where He wanted you to stay on this earth
He placed me right here
