Logic - Never Been lyrics

C-Sick

I've been workin' like I've never been
I struggle every day but I just
Can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
What I know right now
I'd be better than I've ever been
Better than I've ever been

You ever wonder what it all really means?
Heart full of dreams?
I know I'ma do it, go get it by any means
Serving food for the thought like
It's rock to the fiends
I said this shit for years boy
This life ain't what it seems
Sayin' that you can't just
Solidifies you never will
Said you would, said you could
But you ain't got the skill
You gotta climb the highest mountain
To master the hill
You gotta climb over your ego
To master your will
Gave up on your dreams for
A suit and a pension god damn
I hope you're here for the intervention
You say you would if you had the money
Don't make me mention
It don't cost nothin' but time
For you to pay attention
Now don't get me wrong
I know there's people out there hatin' on ya
And it feel like your self-esteem
Is breakin' on ya all they ever seem to do
Is hate when you speak
They spend seven days preyin' on the weak
I know the world sleepin' on
Ya like a sedative
Talk all you want about me homie
I'ma let it live hater this, hater that
Say I sound repetitive hatin' in your blood
You was born to be negative

Never been i struggle every day but I just
Can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
What I know right now
I'd be better than I've ever been
Better than I've ever been

This is dedicated to everyone
That never made it
And the people that persevered even
Though they was hated
They had a dream and a vision
That they follow like a religion
But on the real
The road to success is prone to collision
And every now and then
Something happens that's unexpected
Like that newborn in your life
'cause you was fuckin' unprotected
And I swear nobody perfect, hell
I know I ain't
Yeah I know this verse is heaven sent
But I'm far from a saint
Live a life with no complaints
Tryna do just what I can
Learn from my father's mistakes and
Become a better man
Now plant a seed and watch 'em grow
Teach 'em everything I know
Show him how to fight his battles
And always go toe to toe
And this I know cause I
Been high, low, right, wrong
But I had to do it all just
So I could write this song
I spit knowledge like the listener
Is my only son and grip the mic like I'm at
War and it's my only gun
Sometimes this journey to the top
Can be a lonely one
Yeah, and this victory lap a lonely run
While my hometown screamin' you
The chosen one tellin' myself, don't choke
Don't be the frozen one

I've been workin' like I've never been
I struggle every day but I just
Can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
What I know right now
I'd be better than I've ever been
Better than I've ever been
I've been workin' like I've never been
I struggle every day but I just
Can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
What I know right now
I'd be better than I've ever been
Better than I've ever been
I've been workin' like I've never been
I struggle every day but I just
Can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
I'd be better than I've ever been
Better than I've ever been

Um, you like that take? I like it
Yeah, should I make it more surreal though
Or i think it's good, hey Bobby run it!
