Where I Been

Hmm (It's Top, nigga)
Oh, oh, I ain't sung in so long

Never knew how hard it'd get
Never knew it'd come to this
Real dark places, where I've been
After all, I'm amazed that I conquered it

Came from them shootouts, tell 'em book the stage
Ready for to blow the roof off
Walk from out my cage, tell my celly that I moved out
I ain't notice I was fuckin' up my life
Or that they knew about it (Lil Top, Lil Top)
Grandpa, how you been, man?
Made 25, doin' time, I'm a grown man
Stare inside my eyes, tell no lies, I was fumblin'
I was totin' that fire, rollin' hard off of one Xan'
Tryna find my way without no compass
I wake up everyday, fuckin' up my cake by doin' dumb shit
Tell the last ho she was fake
"You ain't my bae, you ain't no woman"
I was fucked up 'bout a fate, look at my face, this shit ain't funny
I was chasin' after somethin' that I ain't wanted
I said I'll face it head on, ain't no runnin'
I'm the king of the jungle
Where some prisoners end up rumblin'
Had to learn everything ain't
Finna get solved with my money
I got it all, but tell God I'm needin' something

Never knew how hard it'd get
Never knew it'd come to this
Real dark places, where I've been
After all, I'm amazed that I conquered it

Woah, oh-oh, oh
I don't know what it is holdin' my soul
But I won't give in no more, oh, oh
I gotta go big for my kids, you gon' hear it in these songs

On top that mountain, I smoke K2
And know them pills? I popped that
I hear somethin' wrong that I don't like
I just say, "Where my Glock at?"
People come around just for my lifestyle
Thinkin' clear I ain't like that
Don't none of these people 'posed to be 'round
Where the fuck my sister at?
Same day, I give 'em fifty grand, same day
They stealin' out my bag
Same day, I pop like twenty Xans and
Don't remember where I'm at
But I said no more
Go and buy a brand-new home
With new locks on the door
Got a brand-new phone
Out of contact with them hoes
Private-seat jet I done flown
With my wife chasin' loads
Young thug nigga said the life
He don't need no more
Still gon' ride with the sword
I say this my choice

Woah, oh-oh, oh
I don't know what it is holdin' my soul (I don't know, I don't know)
But I won't give in no more, oh, oh
I gotta go big for my kids
You gon' hear it in these songs

I got the key, I'ma pop my shit
You try to stop, get knocked, bitch
We gon' start this shit off with some shots
Already know how Top get (Get)
Tell 'em it's been hard for me to cope
I don't give no fuck about no ho
My son mama snortin' dope
I ain't fallin' off, too many flows
I'm hearin' shit about my four
Know with the five where I reside
You can see the pain all in my eyes
Know you see the growth, the way I stride
I done made it out, but most them nights
Inside, I sat up and I cried
I been holdin' on for the longest
I ain't have no seatbelt on the ride
I'll grab them sticks and I'll ride
What you know about that?
Nigga played, I murdered most of them guys
I ain't gotta speak about that
I was bumpin' Peep when I was high
Gone off of styrofoam bad
Admittin' I'm tired, you got it, gangster
I ain't tryna be with all that

Never knew how hard it'd get
Never knew it'd come to this
Real dark places, where I've been
After all, amazed that I conquered it

Oh-oh-oh, oh
I don't know what it is holdin' my soul
I'm not givin' in no more, oh, oh
Gotta go big for my kids
You gon' hear it in these songs
