This is the First track of the Album, Jade is briefly explaining all the Trials and Tribulations that she has went through, or should I say Stages. Jade takes us with her through her past, showing us that being on the Top isn’t always an easy Reach.
[Verse 1]
When you look back on everything
Will it all be worth it?
Yeah, we gon' see
Keep on livin'
You gon' feel it
Keep on runnin'
One day you won't stop
[Verse 2]
Some things are hard to let go of
Some things you know when you know
Had to last and I want more
Whatcha do, whatcha staying for?
Gotta prove to me what it's for
[Pre-Chorus]
I've let some people down, didn't fight back
Made some choices that were good and some I want back
Went through shit only to end up runnin' right back
I got issues, but we all got issues like that
[Chorus]
I been a lover, I been a mother
I been a lot and that's okay
I been a girl and now I'm a woman
I been abused and I been brave
I been in love and I been let down and
I done been lost and I been saved
Yeah, yeah
I done been lost and I been saved
[Post-Chorus]
I been runnin' tryna get through these stages
Been through hell and been so high like I'm faded
I had food stamps in my Louis Vuitton
Felt like a star, but couldn't keep the lights on
[Chorus]
I been a lover, I been a mother
I been a lot and that's okay
I been a girl and now I'm a woman
I been abused and I been brave
I been in love and I been let down and
I done been lost and I been saved
Yeah, yeah
I done been lost and I been saved
[Post-Chorus]
I been runnin' tryna get through these stages
Been through hell and been so high like I'm faded
I had food stamps in my Louis Vuitton
Felt like a star, but couldn't keep the lights on
Yeah, yeah
No, woah
