Been Around (Explicit)

When you when you was in Chicago still
Did you find yourself like as a lost boy
Yep mmh
No mother
I think I could do better but I still
I want this forever
Uh sometimes life's about the people you know
Watchin' a flower bloom as its features will grow
I mean I never been one to preach to them folks
I'm just speakin' from experience my teachings is d**e
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 livin'
Although it seem so bittersweet when you ain't got nothing to eat
And Sallie Mae callin' your phone for like the fifth time this week
All your bills overdue all your b***hes 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
Uh so take risks and live spontaneous I'm so insane
But that's the s**t 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 thinkin' I'm a fool
It may seem all cool but I'm feelin' awful
I was down in the dumps with my confidence gone
But then my whole life changed droppin' 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
