[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
[Verse 2]
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
In America, South Africa or Iraq
Ain't no coincidence if you were born with riches
Or in poverty, obviously God has intentions
See He made all nations and He know their 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 furthest person away from my mind
And when you wanna complain, think a couple of things
Why am I here and what is it that Jesus is saying
Then read the Bible and God will guide you right into change
The time is now, just turn around and lift up your hands

[Outro]
See some of y'all 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
(Acts 17:27)
