Where Were You? Lyrics by Jayo Cortez

1ne Night

2018

It’s the one the people came to see
If you tryna win some money better bet on me
A million Records, going platinum that’s a guarantee
In the kitchen, I’ve been whipping got the recipe
Been the best since 17
Now I’m out here poppin
Ain’t no doubt about it
Chains all on my body
Lighting up like electronics
Jumping out the whip, the silver surfer look robotic
I remember days I couldn’t even make a profit
Now I’m bossin, bitch I call the shots and sign my own checks
I got a girl just for the sex
Another girl to ease my stress
Like a nigga that’s in debt, you know that money gone collect
Pussy nigga you a fraud and we don’t show you no respect
Yea no respect
I'm on the corner, throw the pass I intercept
You call my phone I hit reject
Send a message, read your text
I’m acting different, now you want me cause you seeing my success
But where was you when I was broke and had no ice around my neck dawg
Now we taking off like jets dawg
You missed that flight know that’s something you regret dawg
Thanking GOD because I’m blessed dawg
And won’t be living like the rest of y’all
Nigga where were you, when I was riding on them benches
Now I’m hopping out of benzes mmmhmm
Where were you, when I was broke and had no riches
And mobbin with my niggas in the trenches mmmhmm
Where were you, where were you x2
Oooh I’m In my zone I’m activated
Got these weak ass niggas hating
Cause the power moves I’m making
If you ever feeling lost just use my life for inspiration
Yea, staring at the franklins when I need some motivation
Mmmhm bitch I’m the man(yep)
Stick to the plan (what’s that)
Get to the bag(big bag)
Count up the cash(big cash)
I could never finish last
I got the magic touch, I got the power in my hands
Don’t you ever count me out
I’m like Brady when I’m down
Know I’ll turn this game around
Tryna have me so much money, gotta weight it by the pound
Broke and lonely, didn’t want me, everybody on me now
See I’m making all the moves
Big bidness what I do
Now I’m taxing for the verses, gotta make my revenue
I’m a GIANT, lil nigga you can’t fit inside my shoes
Undefeated every season nigga I could never lose
Nigga where were you, when I was riding on them benches
Now I’m hopping out of benzes mmmhmm
Where were you, when I was broke and had no riches
And mobbin with my niggas in the trenches mmmhmm
Where were you, where were you x2
