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 sick Daddy come home late   In them streets past 3 trying to chase that weight   Moms due in and out of the hospital   I'm listening to shots riddle   All this while I's 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   A 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     God established the boundaries of your habitat   Ain't no accident if you were born listening to rap   Ain't no accident if God made you white or black (nope)   In America, South Africa or Iraq   Ain't no coincidence if you were born with riches   Or in poverty obviously God has his intentions   See He made all nations and He know they situation   Ain't no accident you were packed in this generation   And your situation should get you chasing His plan   To get you groping and seeking just to see what He saying   See God ain't far away   And He ain't hard to find   But the Father's the farthest person away from our mind   And when you want to complain   Think a couple of things   Why you in my head   And what is it that Jesus is saying   Then read the Bible and God'll guide you right into change   The time is now, now   Just turn around and lift up your hands     [Chorus]     See some of ya'll might be wondering   Why am I where I am? Good question.   Why am I this race?   Why am I this age?   But see God put you right where He saw fit   At the time He wanted to   At the year He saw was best for you   See He put you in the right situations   That you might feel your way towards Him   To find Him   Though He is not far from each one of us     [Chorus x2]    these lyrics are submitted by Pinkster015
