Текст песни B.o.B — Where Are You
Yeah, whatever happened to bobby ray? He used to be here for us
Then he got famous and left all of us fans in the dust
We never hear from you you're constantly changing
And your relatives always miss you at family occasions
And your mother misses you too since all the fortune you've been
Too busy recording now she feels unimportant
And your daddy's been goin through it since he lost his mother
The least you could do is call him to show him you support him
I never thought you would sell out, you becoming so cocky
I asked you for a picture after your show you walked right by me
I'm like "aint this the dude that said it aint about the price tag"
Now on your records all that you do is brag
Come on bob, I thought you was better than that dog
What happened to cloud 9, and generation lost?
You were my idol, just when I thought I'd give up on everything
I heard you play this familiar melody.
I heard you play this familiar melody.
Melody
Yeah, whatever happened to b.o.b? he once was my favorite
I swear to God that I had all of his mixtapes on my playlist
He was hood, but so different at the same time
It was like a breath of fresh air every time he rhymed
And everybody was on him and the world fell in love
The girls, the money, the lifestyle - all the above
I guess he stopped giving a fuck for all of us little people
With your shades on we can't even see you
Is that what happens once somebody makes it off of rapping?
They taste the fame and change like it's just automatic
Where's the integrity? You on that other shit.
You don't even sound the same. I liked your other shit.
But we'll still stand beside you 'cause somewhere deep inside you
There's more than what meets the eye
I swear on the bible you were my idol
just when I thought I'd give up on everything
I heard you play this familiar melody.
I heard you play this familiar melody.
Melody
Yeah, I watched my whole life change in a couple of years
Who would've ever thought I would've caught the world by the ears?
I swear this shit is so much bigger than I had figured
But if it wasn't meant to be this wouldn't be my career
It's like people only see it the way it appears
But they never see the ropes and the pulleys and the gears
Blood, sweat and tears? We cry but all we sweat is tears.
In the middle of this rap game on the battlefield
All of these chop-chop interviews tryin to fool me
You never know who's gonna play you and try to make you look phony
I live and die for my team. These niggas are more than my homies
We put it all on the line we gave up all our belongings
For this rap shit. 'Cause at the end of the day
It aint just rap shit. I call it making a way.
For our survival. Just when I thought I gave up on everything
I dreamed about this familiar melody.
