[Intro: Joy Crookes & JNR Williams]
Sunday offering, no communion, but we're breaking up bread
(Sip your Supermalt, string vest and your 'fro)
(Hard words never dare)
Bigger in your Bimmer (both)
Never give me way
Set in stone, not your mould
Time will never change
[Chorus: Joy Crookes & JNR Williams]
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
[Verse: Loyle Carner]
Said you're gonna call but you never called
Said you would be there, wasn't there at all
Said you'd make it fair, we were playing ball
Uh, said you'd pick me up on any day I fall
Trust, I had to pick myself up
I held my head, had to teach myself stuff
How to shave, how to keep my nails cut
How the people in the grave wish they could've held us, uh
And that was something that my mother tells us
Loving don't fade, even when the hell does
You were magic, and yo, I wish you could've held up
To the visions in my head of a father unstuck, yo
But, yo, I guess it's just luck
If a father really cares
Tryna get a quick nut, uh
But still I called, tryna tell him wassup
Uh, cause I can never give it up, like, uh
[Chorus: Joy Crookes, JNR Williams & (Loyle Carner)]
Have you ever wondered ((Yeah, have you?))
Did you ever wonder
How I've been? (How I've been?)
How I've been? (How I've been?)
Have you ever wondered ((Did you ever wonder))
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
[Verse: Kojey Radical]
The way mama raised me, never felt like daddy missin'
Never let me question or mention if Daddy distant
Focus on what he did, never what Daddy didn't
Cause for many young boys, that's all they get to invision
Listen, the fathers in my house were women
Put their strength inside of me and put their soul in the kitchen
Working the nightshift so we ain't skippin' our dinners
Always gave me a choice and put my faith in the mission, well
Maybe he was scared
I was scared too
But walking through the fire is something that Dads do
If I don't break the chains, no changing the cycle ((Uh))
Now I have the chance, there's nothing I won't do
Dads saw themselves as providers
Of the type of wealth you only measure in finance
All I ever wanted was some loving reminders
That you still think about me when your soul gettin' tired
[Chorus: Joy Crookes, JNR Williams & (Loyle Carner)]
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder ((Did you ever wonder))
How I've been? ((Yeah))
How I've been? ((You never asked how I felt))
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
Joy Crookes:
Time for the woman
Look what the womb done
Made you a father
Speak in the mother tongue
We keep putting out fire
But if you tell me again, I should smile
I'm your east, I'm your south
I'm your quick to the nails
Wash your mouth when you wish to go where women, damn
I could be handsome
Shit I feel handsome
Another day in the life of the story
Takes you a daughter to realise I'm glowing
I wish you knew
You've always been half of us too
[Chorus: Joy Crookes, JNR Williams, Joel Culpepper, Maverick Sabre]
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
Have you ever wondered
Did you ever wonder
How I've been?
How I've been?
[Outro: Joel Culpepper]
How I've been, How I've been
How I've been, How I've been
How I've been, How I've been
(Yeah, yeah yeah)
(How I've been, How I've been)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
