The people we know through our lives makes us who we are and this song is about some of the types of people I have known and some of the situations I have been through as well

Verse 1
Born 8/21/1974
To a mother and a father always at war
I guess he felt large by making her feel small
Until that day came when she up and left it all
Moved to New York on her own to start our home
Then came back to get me before I was too grown
I love showing props mom you did it alone
Take a look at the fruit of your bosom now that he’s grown
Sincere and dedicated to right the wrong
Infect the masses with hip-hop song
Respect the feminine it makes me strong
Plus wise enough to admit when I’m wrong

Chorus
Where have I been? Who have I known?
When have I lived? How have I grown?
Why are we here? What are we doing?
Who holds the answers to what we’re pursuing?
Where have I been? Who have I known?
When have I lived? How have I grown?
Why are we here? What are we doing?
Who holds the answers to what we’re pursuing?

Verse 2
Until now I’ve asked the wrong questions
Influenced for years by the media’s suggestions
And falling due to what my flesh was requesting
But life has taught me to reassess the lessons
Extract the blessings or I’m wasting time
And what could be worse than seek and not find
My soul as I know is mind and body entwined
Yet try as I may I can’t escape the grind
Except when I focus on that inward I
Establish foundations that cannot be denied
Build nations of thinkers in modern day times
Ready to reap the harvests of these modern day rhymes
Like robust wine at its maturation point
Allow body and time to saturate my joints
What I compose I propose to prove points
Emcees spit and let the crowds anoint
Chorus
Where have I been? Who have I known?
When have I lived? How have I grown?
Why are we here? What are we doing?
Who holds the answers to what we’re pursuing?
Where have I been? Who have I known?
When have I lived? How have I grown?
Why are we here? What are we doing?
Who holds the answers to what we’re pursuing?

I’ve dealt with promoters all shapes and sizes
Managers, wanna-bees hypes and liars
Scandalous hoes and jock riding admirers
Even family who stole my words and tried rhyming them
In retrospect these events are who I am
So I always reflect before I plan
In the first place I’m nothing without Fam
In the worst case I’m still my own man
I know who I am I know where I’ve been
I’m probably the most deadly with a pad and a pen
I know why I’m here I know what I’m doing
I hold the answers to what I’m pursuing
Bridge(outro)
Who holds the answers
