Lyrics Dave East – Never Been
Text:
Uh
Our life was never borin’
Every 5 dollars counted, shit that sandwich was important
I love my niggas, understand it how I call it
Holla at red, LAX, we landin’ at 4
Me and Loc used to stand by the store
Hope the cameras was off
I did my own dirt, put in all of my own work
How much I could make off these grams? That was my homework
You can’t understand the highways ’till you hit the road first
Thinking I was a draft pick the minute I had that growth spurt
Same nigga played the corner, bodega with no shirt
Sunflower seeds and Sour Patches, I was askin’
For extensions on the rent, now it’s designer fabric (designer)
Couldn’t sit on auntie furniture, if not the plastic (we couldn’t)
Really gotta be out your mind to survive the madness
It ain’t hard to buy a boat, it’s hard to find a captain
It ain’t hard to find a smoke, it just depend who askin’ (who want it )
I gave hope to every block that’s in upper Manhattan (Harlem)
We gave dope burn the tips, I used to light my baggies (burner)
Don’t focus on us, focus on keepin’ wifey happy
If you my nigga, you ain’t never gotta question it
I give you my last, I think my heart too big to measure it
Step on the gas, I’m standin’ up ’cause I could never sit
Tryna take my niggas to all the places they never been
If you my nigga, you ain’t never gotta question it
Step on the gas, I’m standin’ up ’cause I could never sit
Tryna take my niggas to all the places they never been
It was so real
I don’t drink soda but I’m so familiar with coke deals
They robbed him when he bought it, ain’t get to see how that coat feels
Might not know her name but I could tell you how her throat feels
You don’t really know me, you ain’t know me when I sold pills
Bub told me don’t pour it up if it ain’t got no seal
Chill never paid the the bills, mental racin’ still
Had no TV, now I pay multiple cable bills
I remember Malil tellin’ me «take the wheel»
Back when Freaky told me rap, they prolly gon make a deal
Deafen my body, I hate the way it make me feel
If my niggas slidin’, I’m slidin’, I really played the field
We got felonies but jealousy can never break us
Talked to Drizzy up in Toronto, I’m missin’ hella paper
Most of my niggas do bids chasin’ money, go up north and get big
Might not come home to no crib
We got parole on us, walk with the heat, we keep the stove on us
NYPD just pray I get pulled with old warrants
If you told on us, on God, you broke the code on us
5 in the mornin’, in your momma crib with no warnin’
If you my nigga, you ain’t never gotta question it
I give you my last, I think my heart too big to measure it
Step on the gas, I’m standin’ up ’cause I could never sit
Tryna take my niggas to all the places they never been
If you my nigga you ain’t never gotta question it
Step on the gas, I’m standin’ up ’cause I could never sit
Tryna take my niggas to all the places they never been
Tryna take my niggas to all the places they never been
Tryna take my niggas to all the places they never been
Tryna take my niggas to all the places they never been
