[Joey Bada$$ - Where I Belong lyrics]
Uh uh! Uh uh!
Yeah!
Static Selektah
Back on the set like I never left
I'm takin' steps to be
The best 'til they lay me to rest
VVS upon my chest, it got them devious
Ain't no tints on my two door,
I want them see it's us
'Cause if I paid enough
Them fuckers better see me comin'
I used to drive my mama bucket
Ridin' 'round frontin'
On Snyder Avenue, buildin'
Number thirty-four-hunnid
I gave this shit my all or nothin'
Now my bank bussin'
I'm livin' plush'
New crib cost a milli' plus
Six figures on every art piece
That's hangin' up
You little niggas still spendin'
On the obvious
And if you think I'm flexin' now
Just wait 'til I re-up
And just to sum it up
We shinin' all year long
When I was comin' up
They tried to tell me that was wrong
I had to run it up, and now
I'm right where I belong
If all my niggas dead and gone
I gotta carry on
I pray the Lord have mercy
On a nigga soul
We reminiscin', reminiscin' like
It's all we know
Take hollow tips and extra clips
Everywhere we go
'Cause I be takin' risk every time
That I hit the door
I pray the Lord have mercy
On a nigga soul
We reminiscin', reminiscin'
Like it's all we know
Take hollow tips and extra clips
Everywhere we go
'Cause I be takin' risk every time
That I hit the door
Yo! Tryna get my thoughts together
I say a prayer every day
Hopin' it all get better
I talk to God a lot
These verses is like open letters
I know that nothin' really last forever
Like the past, the future don't exist
I know it's foul
But never focused on the present
Know my presence is a gift
Just so happen to be good at rappin'
That would be my niche
I was only like six when
My cousin Richie Rich
Wrote my first verse for me
That I would never forget
And since then I was never known
To leave a microphone alone
Often took the long way home
Just to get thoughts off my dome
Mama blowin' up my phone
Leave her message at the tone
I was gettin' in my zone
At times I felt so alone
Like how it feel to know that you
The best and nobody know
Every punchline a chin check
And a body blow
With all disrespect, you niggas
Still ain't fuckin' with me though
And never was
Every time they thought
They had me down
I just leveled up

They all saw it
I'm from Brooklyn
I rep Brooklyn all day
They killed Biggie
Y'all niggas is killin' us and you fuckin'
This world is about money
Money revolve around money
Just know that I'm from Brooklyn
I pray the Lord have mercy
On a nigga soul
We reminiscin', reminiscin' like
It's all we know
Take hollow tips and extra clips
Everywhere we go
'Cause I be takin' risk every time
That I hit the door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you liked that?
Hey, motherfuckers!
Joey Bada$$ has just moved, bitch
We talkin' New York, Brooklyn, motherfucker
Joey's the illest motherfucker doin'
This rap shit
You digg?
And go and buy this
Motherfucker shit right now
And tell your grandpa to get it too
Motherfuckers
I want an album motherfucker
Yeah!

About the song Joey Bada$$ - Where I Belong
1. Been listening since I was 16 and now ten years later, Joey's still staying true to his roots and just killing it. I remember listening to Waves and thinking "Till then all I can do is imagine", being depressed and a drug addict that came out of a broken home, hoping for things to get better. And safe to say, they eventually did. Thank you for spreading hope and positivity, Joey. When people say there's no good hip hop around anymore, they're simply not looking hard enough. RIP Capital STEEZ
2. "Often Took Took Long Way Home" I swear bro this one line hits me. Back in high school I used to take the long ways home whenever I had a bad day or I just didn’t wanna go home to deal with the expectations and the constant "you gotta be on your shit". It used to be so therapeutic taking the bus and just listening to music looking at the world from the bus just letting my mind free roam always telling my mother I’m at football practice or some type of after school shit so she wouldn’t bother to figure out if I’d be home at a certain time. Shit really saved me from a lot of dark places that I aint think I was coming back from
3. This song is fire! as a youngin from gen z... I'm just in awe at the sound of this... Sounds so old yet so new. Makes me feel nostalgic and alive. Hip-Hop doesn’t always have to be turnt and agressive. This chill east coast vibe and dope instrumental is amazing!
4. Man! This Joey is about to be something special! This is the new Joey the game desperately needs!!! That hungry, inspirational, Boom Bap Joey!!!! So hyped for this album and shout out Statik Selektah on the prod, they're the perfect match! As well as DopeBoyzMuzik who also prod. it!
5. Love that he's back with the vintage grainy looking video and that smoothe boom bap flow. This is just speaking to me, love it! Joey is unique with his style and love that he is back standing out as a stand out artist. The song is dope!
