Shouldn't Be Here Songtext
von Aaron Cole

Yeah, I′mma just get in the booth
And I'mma let it ride
I got a little something written here but
I′m just coming from the heart
Yeah

Cause I've been down, but I got life
I should've been dead, but I′m living so high, yeah
I shouldn′t be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no
Cause if it wasn′t for God leading the way
I probably wouldn't be where I am today
I shouldn′t be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no


If I could be honest, I shouldn′t be able to breathe
Pops was like one-nine and moms was seventeen
She was crying, Pops was like "We made a mistake
But it's okay, we can fix it
We'll go to the doc as soon as awake"
But wait, she was too far along
She′d abort now, everything would be wrong
So maybe this wasn′t a mistake after all
Maybe Aaron Cole was born to be this raw, look
One came and everything was legit
Two came and then my Pops had to split, look
He came back but it was with a little sis
And three came and I was just a rapping like this
Yeah, but how does it feel?
To know you wasn't wanted and maybe this was all not real
To know you was just one good late night pimpin′
It makes me wanna ask is there a point to even living?

Cause I've been down, but I got life
I should′ve been dead, but I'm living so high, yeah
I shouldn′t be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no
Cause if it wasn't for God leading the way
I probably wouldn′t be where I am today
I shouldn′t be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no


If I could be honest, I shouldn′t be up on this stage
All this stuff I've been through, I thought I′d never see this day
Way back in seventh grade, they said I'd never make
What seems to be reality, cling to his mentality
Just another Bristol rapper gon′ be yet the hillbilly
I made it my ambition to make my school feel silly
Fast forward, freshman year, another grind level
I dropped fifteen, they told me I'm on sign level
It's crazy people don′t grind and they don′t blame themselves
Name everything in the world but they don't name themselves
They tell you you can′t make it and try to break your smile
But all I gotta say is look at me now
You mean to tell me I should be where I'm at?
Without God I′m a mess, like the Brooklyn Nets
I shouldn't be here, but yes I′m going farther
Don't believe? Just watch, I put my trust in the Father

Cause I've been down, but I got life
I should′ve been dead, but I′m living so high, yeah
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn′t be here, oh no, no-no-no
Cause if it wasn't for God leading the way
I probably wouldn′t be where I am today
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn′t be here, oh no, no-no-no

So where would I be if it wasn't for You?
Where would I be if You didn't love me?
I may have some scars but I′m worth it
La da da da da
La da da da da da

Cause I′ve been down, but I got life
I should've been dead, but I′m living so high, yeah
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn′t be here, oh no, no-no-no
Cause if it wasn't for God leading the way
I probably wouldn′t be where I am today
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no
I shouldn't be here, oh no, no-no-no
