Because of You (feat. SpawnBreezie)

If it wasn't for you

Where would I be?

So many what is the chances

Whoa

But I'm tryin' so hard

And givin' it all

And it shows, it shows (SpawnBreezie)

It's because of you, babe (Savage)

Yeah

This is what my Moms and my old man told me

Yeah, I said it's what my old man told me

Because I grew to be a man and never become you

But the Bible says honor your father, and so I do

When we go, catch a neighbor, we start new

And my mother wasn't perfect but I still love you

Because I understand the pain that you drank through

But, never again, got religion, it's a brand new you, let's go

If it wasn't for you

Where would I be?

So many what is the chances

Whoa

But I'm tryin' so hard

And givin' it all

And it shows, it shows

It's because of you, babe

Yeah, I was a snot nosed kid in my older brother's shadow

Whenever my uso went I would always follow

Ha, and it would piss him off

And he will beat me to town, need to walk back home

But nah

Nuh uh, I'm just followin' from a distance

Till he turned the corner and my brother went missin'

Can't believe he just kept it from me

Know these older kids frontin', walkin' up to me funny, like

Hey kid, bro, where you from?

Next thing, man, they all tryin' to take me gone

Now I'm swingin' like my older brother taught me (Put 'em up)

I get hit, now I see myself fallin'

All of a sudden I just see my brother's shoes

And he's swingin', knockin' out all of these fools

See, my brother was the man to me

He still lives, his number one fan is me

If it wasn't for you

Where would I be?

So many what is the chances

Whoa

But I'm tryin' so hard

And givin' it all

And it shows, it shows

It's because of you, babe

Yeah, yeah, this is for my queen, yeah

This is for my kids

See, the road's never straight but this is how it is

All of that hardship I hope to never see again

While I count this trade, I'm doin' everything big (I like you Daddy)

This is for my decoys, this is for my horsemen

This is for my people all around South Brooklyn

This is for my dog, we are brothers for life

For taking me off the streets and put it front of the mic

If it wasn't for you

Where would I be?

So many what is the chances

Whoa

But I'm tryin' so hard

And givin' it all

And it shows, it shows

It's because of you, babe
