R.I.P. to the C.E.O
Hey where were you when
I was down bad
Where were you when
I was at my last
Where were you when
Where were you when
I was locked up no letters wrote
And I don't know what I'm saying
And no baby I ain't playing
Understand I'm a man
Nowhere to be found
So when I make it up to the top
The only thing down is the ground
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Where were you
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Where were you Where were you when I was down
Where were you when I was broke
You were nowhere to be found
When I needed you the most
Where were you when I needed to talk
Someone who can be trusted
Where were you when I was down
Sick and disgusted
Where were you when I was small
Got the bands when I was grown
They all laughed in my face
Cause you see I got this song
I can kill a nigga on my own
Got young girls don't trust them
And I heard it bust pipes
But I ain't applying no pressure
I'm a kill these niggas so fast
I'm a deal these niggas that Clad
And I'm a laugh tell the
Baboon kiss my ass
And I'm a pass it
No adlib
I got 4-4
And I call him Pete Maverick
And he a Maverick and he blasting
He'll shoot a nigga balling Balling
Shooting I'm Spalding
Everybody know me nigga
I like to rock a box
Like a Goatee nigga
Yeah I'm shining
Like some gold teeth nigga
Young? Deep nigga
Big weight I move that
Just tell me where were you
Where were you
When I was on my last dollar
I couldn't even
Get no holler
When I was stressing back then
When a lame nigga killed my partner
When I was out on my ass
I was working at?
Niggas ain't want no feature
From me they didn't even ask me
I got my views up
They see me on that Youtube
Now they saying I'm lame
Because we ain't speaking like we use to
They want to hang with the kid
Cause big shit popping
Nigga use to open up for me
When I had lets go shopping
No need to say no names
Cause I ain't take it to the heart
The only niggas fucking with me now
My niggas from the start
Shoutout to loco I love you
He put his faith in me
We going be straight soon
His angel watching over me (Ya Dig)

So I only know a handful
I have very few people I can count on
R.I.P. to the C.E.O
My condolences to the former leader of my community
Hey where were you when
I'm questioning your loyalty
I was down bad
When I was struggling financially and emotionally
Where were you when
I'm asking why you weren't there for me
I was at my last
When I was at the end of my resources
Where were you when
I'm questioning why you didn't help me
I ain't had no where to go
When I had no place to stay
Where were you when
I'm asking why you weren't there to support me
I was locked up no letters wrote
When I was in jail and you didn't even send me a letter
And I don't know what I'm saying
I may sound confused or unclear
And no baby I ain't playing
I'm serious and not joking around
Understand I'm a man
I want you to treat me with respect and dignity
Nowhere to be found
You were not present when I needed you
So when I make it up to the top
If I succeed in life
The only thing down is the ground
If I fail, there's nowhere to go but down
Where were you
I'm asking you where you were during my difficult times
When I was down
When I was feeling low and depressed
Where were you when I was broke
When I had no money and was struggling financially
You were nowhere to be found
You weren't there to support me
When I needed you the most
During my times of greatest need
Where were you when I needed to talk
When I needed someone to confide in
Someone who can be trusted
A person who is reliable and loyal
Where were you when I was down
When I was feeling low and depressed
Sick and disgusted
When I was feeling ill and disgusted with myself
Where were you when I was small
When I was young and vulnerable
Got the bands when I was grown
I acquired wealth when I was an adult
They all laughed in my face
People mocked me when I was struggling
Cause you see I got this song
Because I have a hit song now
I can kill a nigga on my own
I'm capable of handling things on my own
Got young girls don't trust them
I don't trust young women
And I heard it bust pipes
I heard that things can go wrong
But I ain't applying no pressure
But I'm not putting any stress on the situation
I'm a kill these niggas so fast
I will defeat my enemies quickly and easily
I'm a deal these niggas that Clad
I will deliver justice to those who wronged me
And I'm a laugh tell the Baboon kiss my ass
I will mock my enemies and ridicule them
And I'm a pass it No adlib
I will move on and not dwell on the situation
I got 4-4 And I call him Pete Maverick
I have a gun and I nicknamed it Pete Maverick
And he a Maverick and he blasting
The gun is powerful and effective
He'll shoot a nigga balling Balling
The gun can take down even the most successful or wealthy people
Shooting I'm Spalding
I'm just like a basketball, easy to take down
Everybody know me nigga I like to rock a box
I'm known by many and I wear my signature hairstyle
Like a Goatee nigga
My facial hair is styled in a goatee
Yeah I'm shining
I'm doing well and attracting attention
Like some gold teeth nigga
I'm gleaming like gold teeth
Young? Deep nigga
I'm young and talented
Big weight I move that
I have a lot of influence and can make things happen
Just tell me where were you
I'm demanding an explanation for your absence during my difficult times
When I was on my last dollar
When I had almost no money left
I couldn't even Get no holler
Nobody was reaching out to me or offering help
When I was stressing back then
When I was going through a stressful time
When a lame nigga killed my partner
When someone killed my close friend
When I was out on my ass
When I had nowhere to stay
I was working at?
I had a job but it wasn't enough to live on
Niggas ain't want no feature
People didn't want to collaborate with me
From me they didn't even ask me
They didn't even consider me for opportunities
I got my views up They see me on that Youtube
I got a lot of views on my YouTube videos
Now they saying I'm lame
Now they're calling me uncool or unimpressive
Because we ain't speaking like we use to
Because we're not as close as we used to be
They want to hang with the kid
Now they want to be my friend
Cause big shit popping
Because I'm becoming successful
Nigga use to open up for me
Someone used to perform before me at shows
When I had lets go shopping
When I was able to spend money on shopping sprees
No need to say no names
I don't want to embarrass or call anyone out
Cause I ain't take it to the heart
Because I wasn't too upset about it
The only niggas fucking with me now
My only true friends are the ones who supported me from the start
My niggas from the start
My friends who have been with me since the beginning
Shoutout to loco I love you
I want to give a shoutout to my friend Loco and express my love for him
He put his faith in me
He believed in me when others didn't
We going be straight soon
We'll be okay and succeed in the future
His angel watching over me (Ya Dig)
He's looking out for me and protecting me

Great video! Rich Homie really is balling. He came out of no where and pretty much blew up over night. I also completely agree with his message in this song. People always want to come around when you make it but are never there when your going through the struggle. Great job on this one!
