Proof, J-Hill - Places I've Been lyrics
[Proof, J-Hill - Places I've Been lyrics]
On the streets listen
I've seen 'Pac get murdered and BIG the same
Pun lose his life y'all while
Scott La Rock get slain
Im saying the game of life
Is balanced by death
Make money with a few then
I challenge the rest
Over in London with Westwood sippin' absinthe
With Absolute Beginners in
Germany getting blasted mastered never
Sober in Amsterdam (SYKE) spit a word
Get a word to the wise
My eyes done seen Big Ben
Just to come back home strong
Ready to leave again
Believing and breathing
Teaching y'all the world is small
The world is all but real shitt
Now give a call
We sniff blow, no thanks nigga, pass the 'dro
Life's like a fashion show so
Walk strong 'cause they watching
Here's my passport
Checkout where your blocks been
You ain't been all the places I've been
Eyes ain't seen all the things I've seen
Do these verses feel what I mean
Me and my rap life
So much drama that y'all don't see
I can't let it take over me
I'm just trying to live comfortably
Me and my rap life
Swedish girls are sweet
But can't compete with that hoodrat
Chick right down the street (You know)
You ever seen a cop with M16 walking the beat
Or a Nazi on TV just cocking his heat
What about Switzerland Red Lights
Where the heads tight
Or in where the people are just scared right
Maybe you heard but I seen a nuclear reactor
Proof got the truth that you're really after
On the autobahn before Columbine
I thought of mine maybe I should jump across
This fucking borderline
To answer your question
Did I find a ghetto? Was no
I came to settle the sco'
We ain't never seen gold
They living in the aftermath whether
They rich or po'
Buildings bombed, troops out there with AK's
I started to feel sorry
Came home to home to World Trade ayo
You ain't been all the places I've been
Eyes ain't seen all the things I've seen
Do these verses feel what I mean
Me and my rap life
So much drama that y'all don't see
I can't let it take over me
I'm just trying to live comfortably
Me and my rap life
There ain't a problem 'less you got
A bomb so shot a Hussein, sadam
Rock Bottom heavy
We're ready for war we taught 'em
Caught 'em colder than Autumn
Proof will never insult 'em rhyme by rhyme
I fought him, I'll tell 'em all
You hypocrites pointing fingers
Got the world thinking American's seeing
In to Jerry Springer
I've been around the world and
It's same all over (It's the same all over)
Kadafi, Sun Tzu, Reagan, Hitler
Joan of Arc, Napoleon, men like Hannibal
You know what I'm sayin', it's the same cycle
(It's the same all over)
Y'all just divide the people (Right, right)
(It's the same all over)
You ain't been all the places I've been
Eyes ain't seen all the things I've seen
Do these verses feel what I mean
Me and my rap life
So much drama that y'all don't see
I can't let it take over me
I'm just trying to live comfortably
Me and my rap life
It's the same all over
From the hood to Hollywood, to Hawaii
To Australia
Over to Japan, back over to the UK
There's drug addicts everywhere
There's regular people everywhere
And it's crazy motherfuckers everywhere
No matter where you go, it's
The same all over, hear me
(yeah) i'm not saying grow up out
Of the motherfucking hood though
Jealous about that hood nigga, c'mon let's go
On the midnight train
We catching a motherfucking train to
Japan right now nigga get yo' ass up
The plane- the train is taking off NOW!
All aboard, let's go to Japan
