Been A While

(album: I'M REALLY LIKE THAT - 2023)

You see
I remember the trials and tribulations

It's been awhile
It's been awhile
It's been awhile
Since I could remember
It's been awhile, it's been awhile
DJ Drama

We ain't going back broke again on God, nigga
Been a while since I sold dope
Been a while since I robbed niggas
Let me pop mine, we on top with it
This predicament mean a lot to me
Dudas needed that Enfamil, I couldn't pay for it, really got to me
We on tour right now, fuck what it cost, I'm bringing the block with me
Lawyer only wanted a quarter to eat up the case, told me to drop fifty
Hardly home but I rep the hardest when it come to SAC, this my city
Baby still making payments on that lil' BBL and them fire titties
Drop pin and we got jiggy, tell nigga I'm straight up
I'm in the back of the Bach, blowing it back with both my feet up
Like damn, nigga used to dream 'bout this shit now we living it
Was at a point in my life where I knew what I wanted but I couldn't picture it
Hand me downs, I remember
Granny couch, I remember
Stand down and reap the benefits
Illegitimate Benjamins
Bought moms a new whip, she started to cry and I told her don't mention it
Seven summers in this rap shit and I'm here to stay, I extended it

It's been awhile
It's been awhile
It's been awhile
Since I could remember
It's been awhile, it's been awhile
And I'm still flexing on my old hoes
Aye, so I said, said break the bro code
Oh, that's a no-no
It's been awhile
It's been awhile
It's been awhile
Since I could remember
It's been awhile, it's been awhile

I remember
It was a long winter
February, we lost Roc, it made us all sinners
We was still having innocence, was all beginners
Fast forward, I'm that nigga, now we all winners
I be busy, but them niggas with us, they all with us
I get dizzy, that's 'cause I'm locked in with all spinners
And the shit I'm rocking is all expensive
And I keep that Glock inside my pocket 'cause I don't know y'all intentions
I was still a jit, ran up that sack and I went bought a Hemi
More cash I made bought more Hemis and we had a hundred semis
I was like nineteen and ran it up off words
Move my mama to the burbs
I just did that for they safety
I was purging, I was serving
Half a milli, I was worth it
I was out there, you was nervous
Put my cousin 'nem through college
Guess this shit was all worth it
Since a youngin I had knowledge
Since a youngin I had problems
Me and my niggas riding drops
Been a minute since we dropped something

It's been awhile
It's been awhile
It's been awhile
Since I could remember
It's been awhile, it's been awhile

And I'm still flexing on my old hoes
Aye, so I said, said break the bro code
Oh, that's a no-no
It's been awhile
It's been awhile
It's been awhile
Since I could remember
It's been awhile, it's been awhile

It's been a while
Without the pressure
Without the pain
I guess it comes along with the game
Since I could remember
This all I ever wanted
And now we here
