Been Through It All

(I can say that I made it, cause in my heart I'm the greatest

I've been through it all)

This song is for everyone out there

Who's ever made it through the hard times

For everyone who's ever had to struggle

For what they wanted in life

This song is for everyone

Who had to sit through the dark days

Before they saw the light

For everyone who's been through it all

Shout out to my fans, man

This one's for y'all, baby!

Uhh, I been through it all

Crazy, because I never thought I'd say that (Naw)

The cost to be the boss, never thought I'd pay that (Not at all)

Headed to the top, without the friends I've had since way back

Near death experiences, watching my life play back

Damn, and I have never sold a brick

But I can show you where to get it

Like I can show you how to flip

My whole life has been a hustle

Since momma bounced on her kid

And I ain't never scared of drama

I was born up in the shit (Let's go)

Cause it was once upon a time, mu'fucker

We were fine and I was just a little snobby mu'fucker (Right?)

Then it changed, now these people wanna rob me mu'fucker (Oh)

New environment, now Pops' like "Get a job muh fucker!" (Whoo)

Yeah, so I did that, wasn't with that, so I quit that

Told them about my dreams and then they laughed

But I spit that, fire

Couldn't deny it, so the choir that would chip, yeah (What they do?)

Shut it up, and still I won't forget that

Man fuck y'all!

And I won't put that behind me (Behind me)

Even though I left the past (Past)

And I'm still the kid now (Now)

Even though I left the class (Class)

I'm on, and it took everything from A to Z to do it

So anything I'm talking, I've been through it

I've been through it all

Had to hustle just to make it through the struggle

But I still won't let that get me down

Put my feelings in the music

So the world can hear me all around

Every town and every city

Every state and every country

I can say that I made it

Cause in my heart I'm the greatest

Because I been through it all

Look, in April I was born, at 14 I was a felon (Uhuh)

By 18, I had been to more funerals than a reverend (Damn)

And right when I felt like I'd give it up, look what they sent me

My beautiful baby girl straight outta heaven

And I loved you girl

And even though that was never part of the plan

And people doubted it because of who I am

Fuck, I hope they understand

That at 19 with the world in my hands

I stepped up and handled that shit like a man

I've been homeless, I've been broke

Done every drug 'cept for coke

I done fought for my life, been jumped, shot at, and more

I've been rich and I've been poor

Had to steal from the store on nights there wasn't shit to eat

And seen my best friends go

Damn, so what the fuck could you possibly say to me? (Huh?)

The verdict is I'm the truth, but you can thank today's jury (Yup)

But if you wanna judge, come walk a mile in my chucks

But the world sucks, better Lace Up, uhhgk

I've been through it all

Okay, I've been made out be a monster

But the only thing aggressive about me

Is the will that I have to conquer

I told them I was the best

And they doubted, but no longer

Out of all the starving artists

They could hear my hunger (Sup?)

And if that's wrong then I don't wanna be right

I'm always dreaming so I'm gone in the night (Shhh)

And now it's reality

I'm calling home like "I'll be gone on this flight"

But how can I contact a place that doesn't exist in my life?

Home, I guess that I'll just be alone for the ride

And live vicariously through another's eyes

Adding on to the list of lies

So my girl doesn't trust me for shit

Probably cause after my momma left I ain't trusted a chick

Shit, and my father drowning his problems with the bottle

While I'm praying my auntie can see tomorrow

Cause cancer ain't a joke

And I just lost one of my best friends to the pen

So I don't wanna live again

I been through it

And if you ever have a dream

Don't be scared to chase that shit, man

You can have whatever you want in this life

Don't let anyone tell you different

And shoutout to my fans for helping me achieve my dreams
