14 ContributorsWhere I Been Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmm (It's Top, nigga)

Oh, oh, I ain't sung in so long

[Chorus]

Never knew how hard it'd get

Never knew it'd come to this

Real dark places, where I've been

After all, I'm amazed that I conquered it

[Verse 1]

Came from them shootouts, tell 'em book the stage

Ready for to blow the roof off

Walk from out my cage, tell my celly that I moved out

I ain't notice I was fuckin' up my life or that they knew about it (Lil Top, Lil Top)

Grandpa, how you been, man?

Made 25, doin' time, I'm a grown man

Stare inside my eyes, tell no lies, I was fumblin'

I was totin' that fire, rollin' hard off of one Xan'

Tryna find my way without no compass

I wake up everyday, fuckin' up my cake by doin' dumb shit

Tell the last ho she was fake, "You ain't my bae, you ain't no woman"

I was fucked up 'bout a fate, look at my face, this shit ain't funny

I was chasin' after somethin' that I ain't wanted

I said I'll face it head on, ain't no runnin'

I'm the king of the jungle where some prisoners end up rumblin'

Had to learn everything ain't finna get solved with my money

I got it all, but tell God I'm needin' something

[Chorus]

Never knew how hard it'd get

Never knew it'd come to this

Real dark places, where I've been

After all, I'm amazed that I conquered it

[Refrain]

Woah, oh-oh, oh

I don't know what it is holdin' my soul

But I won't give in no more, oh, oh

I gotta go big for my kids, you gon' hear it in these songs

[Verse 2]

On top that mountain, I smoke K2

And know them pills? I popped that

I hear somethin' wrong that I don't like, I just say, “Where my Glock at?”

People come around just for my lifestyle, thinkin' clear I ain't like that

Don't none of these people 'posed to be 'round, where the fuck my sister at?

Same day, I give 'em fifty grand, same day, they stealin' out my bag

Same day, I pop like twenty Xans and don't remember where I'm at

But I said no more

Go and buy a brand-new home with new locks on the door

Got a brand-new phone, out of contact with them hoes

Private-seat jet I done flown with my wife chasin' loads

Young thug nigga said the life, he don't need no more

Still gon' ride with the sword, I say this my choice

[Refrain]

Woah, oh-oh, oh

I don't know what it is holdin' my soul (I don't know, I don't know)

But I won't give in no more, oh, oh

I gotta go big for my kids, you gon' hear it in these songs

[Verse 3]

I got the key, I'ma pop my shit, you try to stop, get knocked, bitch

We gon' start this shit off with some shots, already know how Top get (Get)

Tell 'em it's been hard for me to cope, I don't give no fuck about no ho

My son mama snortin' dope

I ain't fallin' off, too many flows

I'm hearin' shit about my four, know with the five where I reside

You can see the pain all in my eyes

Know you see the growth, the way I stride

I done made it out, but most them nights, inside, I sat up and I cried

I been holdin' on for the longest, I ain't have no seatbelt on the ride

I'll grab them sticks and I'll ride, what you know about that?

Nigga played, I murdered most of them guys, I ain't gotta speak about that

I was bumpin' Peep when I was high, gone off of styrofoam bad

Admittin' I'm tired, you got it, gangster, I ain't tryna be with all that

[Chorus]

Never knew how hard it'd get

Never knew it'd come to this

Real dark places, where I've been

After all, amazed that I conquered it

[Refrain]

Oh-oh-oh, oh

I don't know what it is holdin' my soul

I'm not givin' in no more, oh, oh

Gotta go big for my kids, you gon' hear it in these songs
