Been There

VERSE 1
A wise man told me young nigga be real with it
Nigga dealt bad cards but I deal with it
So either I quit, or hit schemes to move quick
Either way on both sides yeah I'm still with it
Long nights no rest again
Staying humble, though pride gets the best of men
When you tryna bare fruit rotten apples and a few bad eggs
I was hatched in a nest of em
Every year it's the same old same ol
I'm sick and tired of the same ol same ol
I'm feeling wired like yo
How the fuck can I blow
When every nigga tryna change the game though
I mean even though a nigga still believing
Going through hell that'll make you a demon
Taking revenge on the world
It's odd how the hunger don't quit till the day you get even
Trust me look cause

CHORUS
I been there done that
Black clouds up ahead where the sun at
Sick of living out dreams in my mind out here on the grind
Tryna find where the funds at
Once again on a broke nigga basis
I get ahead then i lose a few paces
I had to move with the real and the fake
Just to try and catch a break
But so many caught cases
Fuck with me I mean

VERSE 2
Tryna move like them Spanish chicas say anderlay
A couple dawgs I had went astray
Ain't nothing promised but yesterday
It's all here to leave, then gone to stay
And sometimes I wanna live low key
Then it's fuck that, I'ma be mad rich
It's settle down with that good girl
Till my mood change, I need a bad bitch
Tryna be Jay-Z make every nigga rich on my team sheet
Sunshine walking in Memphis
But the outlook yeah it's is still Bleek
And now and then my shoulders stoop
Cause my brothers burdens that ain't never light
But trust me, till the day I die
I might wave a flag, but it's never white

CHORUS
I been there done that
Black clouds up ahead where the sun at
Sick of living out dreams in my mind out here on the grind
Tryna find where the funds at
Once again on a broke nigga basis
I get ahead then i lose a few paces
I had to move with the real and the fake
Just to try and catch a break
But so many caught cases
Fuck with me I mean

VERSE 3
A wise man told me Coker you the next
Top of the ring nigga superplex
If I throw the bones
You catch the flow, and we both gon’ deliver like ups
Now I'm way too conflicted
Yeah Cyndi Lauper all day that's time after time
Do I spit that real rap shit
Or they wanna hit that crack shit
Like punch line after line
Got the handbrake on while I'm driving
Tryna broaden my horizons
Turn the fiasco to good, from a star in the hood
But no matter how high why it feel like my star never rising
They say the world is my oyster
I made the choice to pursue it till I'm dead like wood
And if I'm keeping it frank, there's too many oceans out there for me not to swim good
And knowing that the good die young
It makes me wanna bring out the evil in me
Tryna live way too large and stunt on these niggers like evil kaneval would be
Like na you can't reason with me
I dream a dream, for the cream, I feign for all that
Ain't nothing made me wanna be more front row than the day that Sem told me to fall back
So now these pencil friends I'm etching out
My girl arguing stressed me out
I close my eyes day dreaming sat by the dock of the bay my arms stretching out
With nothing to fear though
I took it all in vein till I hit ground zero
While I overdose on my heroine cause everybody need a hero
And we know

CHORUS
I been there done that
Black clouds up ahead where the sun at
Sick of living out dreams in my mind out here on the grind
Tryna find where the funds at
Once again on a broke nigga basis
I get ahead then i lose a few paces
I had to move with the real and the fake
Just to try and catch a break
But so many caught cases
Fuck with me I mean
