Where I Been lyrics

[Intro]
Hmm-hmm (It's Top, n*gga)
Oh-oh (I ain't sung in so long, n*gga)

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

[Verse 1]
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 f*ckin' up my life, but that, they knew about (Lil Top, Lil Top)
Grandpa, how you been, man?
Made twenty-five 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 every day f*ckin' up my cake by doin' dumb sh*t
Tell that last ho she was fake, you ain't my bae, you ain't no woman
I was f*cked up 'bout a fake, look at my face, this sh*t ain't funny
I was chasin' after somethin' that I ain't wanted
I say I'll face it head-on, ain't no runnin'
I'm the king of the jungle, with 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' somethin'
[Chorus]
Never knew how hard it'd get
Never knew it'd come to this
Real dark places where I been
After all, I'm amazed that I conquered it

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

[Verse 2]
On top of that mountain, I smoked 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 f*ck 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 say 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
Privacy jet I done flown with my wife chasin' loads
Young thug n*gga, say the life, he don't need no more
Still gon' ride with the sword, I said it's my choice
[Refrain]
Woah
I don't know what it is holdin' my soul
But I won't give in no more
I gotta go big for my kids, you gon' hear it in these songs

[Verse 3]
I got the key, I'ma pop my sh*t, you try to stop, get knocked, b*tch
We gon' start this sh*t off with some shots, already know how Top get
Tell 'em it's been hard for me to cope, I don't give no f*ck about no ho
My son mama snortin' dope, I ain't fallin' off, too many flows
I'm hearin' sh*t about my four, know it's the five where I reside
You could 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?
n*gga played, I murdered most of them guys, I ain't gotta speak about that
I was bumpin' Peep when I was high, gone off a styrofoam bad
Admittin' I'm tired, you got it, gangster, I ain't tryna be with all that

[Chorus]
Never knew how hard it'd get
Never knew it'd come to this
Real dark places where I been
After all, amazed that I conquered it
[Refrain]
Woah
I don't know what it is holdin' my soul
I'm not givin' in no more
Gotta go big for my kids, you gon' hear it in these songs
