Seen It All Before

[Verse 1: [?]]

I've seen it all before

You ain't never had the Jakes

And the bailiffs at your door

Ready to take what's your's

Man I've seen it all before

I've seen niggas rob their own niggas

Just to make a likkle change 'cause they're poor

Man I've seen it all before

And I don't like to say what I've seen

But just know that I've seen it all before

'Cause I've been there for sure

And we don't follow rules or the law

You ain't from the 'hood 'cause I ain't seen you before

And the ends is kinda snakey that's for sure

And these niggas ain't real anymore

So I'm with the same bruddas from before

[Verse 2: Novelist]

I've seen it all before

Came up in the war

Thank God, how I'm still alive, I'm not sure

Got niggas in the grave that I can't see again

Don't come around tryna be tough, it's not safe

I've seen it all before, from waps to [?]

Them olders got old school stripes but been poor

Where's the code gone? This ain't the same no more

I was raised by them old school man that don't talk

Seen it all before, had girls around the world before I toured

Women with class, never whores

But I'm older now and wanted one and nutting more

That will hold me down, that's what a G expects

'Cause I've seen it all before

I don't need stress, I've been blessed

Say what I mean and speak less

It's all real, from dirt I did build

They can't see what I'm on

See me and they getting chills

[Verse 3: [?]]

I've seen it all before

Told a girl my name

She was giggling in disbelief

I said the game's the game

Sticky fingers picking brains

And you know how it goes

Mix the [?] with the Marvel

Super-suit under my clothes

Seen it all before

And I ain't one of those

The sessions of a G all running free inside her dome

So I smile and stay composed

Bid the fine girl farewell

Walking while she's calling

As if I don't hear well

[Verse 4: [?]]

Seen it all before

Used to run his mouth but didn't mean it all before

He was talking on the [?] 'bout some Lizzie round the Lizzie

He got caught up in the blizzard

Now the heat is in the door

I don't talk on what I've seen

Them man speak on what they saw

Or things they claim they seen

I've seen it all

So I don't close my eyes and not recall

I set the scene

More streets than movie screens, I'm from The 4

Used to pose up on my college steps and treat it like awards

[Outro: Novelist]

It's 2019

This one goes out to my bruddas in the Zone 4

The ghetto, [?]

Big up all the [?] man, Cali' man

[?]

R.I.P. to my homegirl Simone

My G [?], I ain't forgot about you brudda

Rest up to all the fallen soldiers
