Show Lyrics
BK & Associates - Where I Was
(from the album Beatmaker Session 1)
© copyright 2002
You lifted me out the miry deep so to speak or say it,
you're always on time, so who am i to delay it?
gave vision to my eye, the same i spy out and cry out,
and when your presence hits a room, i can't speak,
so i tweak these knobs and faders, got no time for
bling-bling or playa haters,
its time for me to lay down the pride which abides in my
members,
put my career on hold like its gone til november,
not proving something to myself, just take my calling off
the shelf and dust it off,
hoping the date on the back is not expired or the retired
life may be my the option,
thru many a concoction, making beats has been my life,
but i find no life in it, only strife in paradise,
so, once again, square one is my address and humble abode,
and my driveway's a broad and crooked road.
Chorus
elevate me from where i am,
to where i need to be.
lift me up and set me high,
let me fly with eagle's wings.
i know you, but you know every,
object in my soul.
you rescued me from where i was,
where i was, where i was.
i got a lot of mail, so i set sail with letter opener as my
mast,
and like the cast of "Friends", let the drama begin,
which bill do i pay, the minimum is my maximum,
my wallet's cramping up like legs without potassium,
one good thing is that i'm still in style cause thrift shops
are in,
and of course, so is sin, here we go another trend,
can't spread fast enough, though its pace could beat petty
from the line,
and just one glass of wine isn't enought to intoxicate,
so i just seal my fate with mediocrity,
my hope still remains in the face of the one i can't see,
at least the fleshly eye is blind now why wouldn't it be?
if i could send a thank you card to the sky,
i'd owe you for a year, or better yet a life,
so with my gift, i will lift you up for giving yours,
and putting beats into my cup.
Chorus
elevate me from where i am,
to where i need to be.
lift me up and set me high,
let me fly with eagle's wings.
i know you, but you know every,
object in my soul.
you rescued me from where i was,
where i was, where i was.
