Been Around

(الألبوم: The Lost Boy - 2019)

I think I could do better, but I still
I want this forever, ugh
Sometimes life's about the people you know
Watching a flower bloom as its features will grow
I mean, I've never been one to preach to them folks
I'm just speaking from experience, my teachings is dope
Learning lessons with my brethren, joy is quite contagious
Counting blessings on blessings, my heart right to make it
And it's kinda my only option, maybe my decisions
Haven't really been the best, but this my life I'm living
Although it seem so bitter-sweet when you ain't got nothing to eat
And Sallie Mae calling your phone for like the fifth time this week
All your bills overdue, all your bitches over you
Only one option remains, you just gotta show and prove

And so I know, little darling, I know how the pain, it hurts
Say something to me, sweetie, we'll get through, we'll make it work
'Cause I've been around, and you've caught me down, bad, I say
Next time in town, you're always welcome 'round my way

So, take risks and live spontaneous, I'm so insane
But that's the shit that make me rich and why we love the game
And to my various enemies who carrying energy of greed and envy
Just know I love you for centuries, so all is forgiven
Animosity for none, 'cause I done been through a lot
Thankful who I have become
I done lost a couple brothers, dead cousins on the regular
But I ain't even stressing, count my blessings, know we headed up
I dropped out of school, pops thinking I'm a fool
It may seem all cool, but I'm feeling awful
I was down in the dumps with my confidence gone
But then my whole life changed dropping prominent songs

And so I know little darling, I know how the pain, it hurts
Say something to me sweetie, we'll get through, we'll make it work
'Cause I've been around, and you've caught me down, bad, I say
Next time in town, you're always welcome 'round my way
