“Been About It” is a loose release by Durban native MC, Luke The Dropout. It’s a very nostalgic track, with Luke himself narrating anecdotes from his past turmoils and struggles painting a picture of toxic surroundings and influences coming from growing in the city.
Chorus:
Really been about it since the drop boy
All these other niggas needa stop boy
Shit a lil different at the top boy
We just tryna make it out the block boy (X2)
Verse 1:
I remember when I was a dropout, (dropout)
Had me moving back into my mom's house, (mom's house)
Smoking everyday and fighting pops now, (damn)
Wonder if I'm really gonna pop now ? (pop now)
System cuffing niggas up in locks now, (locks now)
Ganja loud it make em bring the cops out, (cops out)
Looking for a deal I could sign now, (sign now)
Rent piling up it blow my mind out, (mind out)
Ain't nobody giving a damn, (damn)
I guess it was all in my hands, (Skkr)
Nobody holding back
I'm out on my own I'm watching my step
Look how I prep, look how I rep
Look at the neck, look at the wrist
But wise up, reading the Bible verse Elijah
Size-up, how to put mom in something nicer
Give us price-cuts, until niggas finally rise up
My nigga lost his job I think the system don't like us but
Chorus:
Really been about it since the drop boy
All these other niggas needa stop boy
Shit a lil different at the top boy
We just tryna make it out the block boy (X2)
