B.o.B - Where Are You (B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray) lyrics

Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum

What ever happened to Bobby Ray? He
Used to be here for us
Then he got famous and left all
Of his 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 going 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're becoming so cocky
I asked you for a picture after your show
You walked right by me i'm like
"Ain't this the dude that said that
It ain't about the price tag?"
Now on your records all that you do is brag
Come on, Bob, I thought you
Was better than that, dawg
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
(Melody, melody, melody)

I heard you play this familiar melody
(Melody, melody, melody)
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
(Melody, melody, melody,)
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum

What ever happened to BoB? 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
Everytime 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's stopped giving a fuck
For all of his little people
With your shades on, we can't even see you
Is that what happens
When somebody makes it off of rapping?
They taste the fame and change
Like it's just automatic
Where's the integrity? You're 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
(Melody, melody, melody)

I heard you play this familiar melody
(Melody, melody, melody)
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
(Melody, melody, melody,)
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum

I watched my whole life change
In a couple of years
Who woulda ever thought I woulda 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 blood
All we sweat is tears
In the middle of this rap
Game on the battle field
All of these shock jock interviews
Tryna phone me
You never know who's gonna try to play
You and make you look phoney
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 ain't 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
(Melody, melody, melody)

I dreamed about this familiar melody
(Melody, melody, melody)
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
(Melody, melody, melody,)
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
I dreamed about this familiar melody
(Melody, melody, melody)
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum

Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
Da da dum, da da dum, da da dum
