[M-1, RAYE, Ghostface Killah - Been Through lyrics]
I been up, and I been down
'Til you helped me put my
Feet on solid ground
I been rich and I been poor
'Til you showed me that there's so much more
Look, ayo I'm not supposed to be here
Beatin they odds
Beatin they charts and graphs
So I'm beatin they god
And I'm not the only one
See the drama is common
Ask my homey what he been
Through when he started bombin'
He said "don't push me"
I done pushed crack cocaine and I
Done pushed dope in my vein
I done sold it to my main man moms too
It's horrible
The things we do, in pursuit of the loot
Ghetto currency, we was trading food stamps
7 for 10
So I could chip in on the sac with my man
Ghetto clinics give dirty abortions and then
Evil scientists pass out pills
And cut foreskins
Cut off like orphans in group homes
Lost in the system, foster care victims
Wards of the state, the more they take
The more they make
We tip-toed into a pit of snakes, but wait
I been up, and I been down
'Til you helped me put my
Feet on solid ground
I been rich and I been poor
'Til you showed me that there's so much more\
Yo, yo, I been a poor
Broke nigga in the hood, dusted out
Sold blue tops of crack
Hid tecs in the couch
Had big chains and eagle brace
Birds all in the state
5, 000 diamonds on the face
Of my dinner plate been shot
Been in the ER under false identity
Tried assassinating Ghost like JF kennedy
The Wally Don, stay in the mind
Seeing Allah's Qu'Ran
I been a wild motherfucker
Until I'm righteous calm
Pop balloons, I slap goons
Hit bigs pushin' angeldust
Fuck wildflower bitches
My life has been dangerous
Star studded out, laying on top of the globe
Now I carry globes draped
Out in Rhinestone robes
It's the world's greatest
I run through your neighborhood district
Me and my Theo goons
We move with the biscuit's
Ratchet, spit metal lungies like bastards
And get meal stacks everytime
The camera flashes
I been up, and I been down
'Til you helped me put my
Feet on solid ground
I been rich and I been poor
'Til you showed me that there's so much more
I been cuffed and stuffed, enough is enough
I'm supposed to been gone so
I'm calling they bluff
Been at gunpoint, heart boom boom boom boom
Been running for my life
Yo I knew it was doomed
Since I been alive, I been hearin these lies
Been gone, been back while my homeboys died
I been in crackhouse raids, packing a gauge
I been from
Braids to dreads and dreads to fades
I been a music junkie since back in the day
Been waking up to Prince went
To bed with Maze i been, through the court
Looked the judge in the eye
Been through the worst days when
I wanted to die
I been, high off that gray, slingin that yae
Mix it with hay, wake til the break of day
Been to Botswana felt the Sun on my skin
Been to Germany, don't want to do it again
I been talked about, and I been stoned
I been praised, and I been dogged
I met all kinds, trampled over this world
Still you'll all me, into a different girl
Something in the way you make me feel
(M-1 - damn it feel good to be alive)
Feel (M-1 - no matter what they do, we still survive)
Feel (Raye - it makes me feel real)
You got the right stuff
And I don't know what came over me
When I looked at your baby
It was so plain to see
'Til you helped me put my
Feet on solid ground
I been rich and I been poor
'Til you showed me that there's so much more
Look, ayo I'm not supposed to be here
Beatin they odds
Beatin they charts and graphs
So I'm beatin they god
And I'm not the only one
