Been Down
Yeah man my boy bruh
We been fucking with each other since fucking pre-k you know
I remember goddamn when, we wanted to goddamn start writing music
And, and I remember when uhh you said it
And I remember we all started writing
You stuck to the shit
And I admire that shit about you
I only speak highly of you
Your music real
You know how to speak to the heart
Like you know how to speak to the soul
But I admire that shit about you
Like you just put yourself out there
You took whatever came with it
I preciate it, I preciate it
Yeah
Started in the basement
I knew one day I would make it
I was patient
I'm on this marathon
I can't believe you niggas still running races
Niggas didn't believe in the dream
Shit I seen it on they faces
The same one that giving dap was talking shit behind my back but Ian say shit
Don't wait for shit to fall in your lap you gotta dream you better chase it
Cause the time you spend waiting for the perfect time to come is time wasted
And I never needed a passport to validate that I was going places
But I got survivor guilt cause the niggas I grew up with is fighting cases
So free my dawgs
If I had the cash to get em out i'll free em all
Cece fighting a murder case
Kel was stealing cars
And I be writing songs, putting my life behind these bars
That's a double entendre
I use to have a honda, civic
Was getting from A to B throughout the city
It was fucking up the vision
People thought that I was tripping
But that's a sacrifice that i'll make to realign with the mission
I'm committed
Yeah
Started in the basement
I knew one day I would make it
I was patient
I'm on this marathon
I can't believe you niggas still running races
Niggas didn't believe in the dream
Shit I seen it on they faces
The same one that giving dap was talking shit behind my back but Ian say shit
But Ian say shit
But Ian say shit
Nah, nah
We been fucking with each other since fucking pre-k you know
I remember goddamn when, we wanted to goddamn start writing music
And, and I remember when uhh you said it
And I remember we all started writing
You stuck to the shit
And I admire that shit about you
I only speak highly of you
Your music real
You know how to speak to the heart
Like you know how to speak to the soul
But I admire that shit about you
Like you just put yourself out there
