"Never Been"
Yeah buddy
I got a cold and all that shit
Show ya'll how hard I work
I really, I really go in, man
From the heart, it's from the soul
Hahaha
We still having fun too though man
It's gone be a real good year
You watch
Haha
I'm telling you
[Chorus]
They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it
And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it
Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now
I made it too far to look back down
But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told
And I ain't never ever going back to being broke
Cause, F-Y-I
I stay on my grind {grind}
Tryna stop my shine,
That day'll be never, ever
[Verse]
I started out just a fan {Fan} -- Writing like every other kid
Grew up to be the man {Man}
Paying bills at my mother's crib
Everyday I'm hustling
To get us out this situation
Gotta deal with phony shows, groupie hoes and niggas hatin'
Mostly yall embrace the small percentage of my city racist
Instead of doing good
They'd rather see me catching cases {Catching cases}
The fans love me
But I struggle tryna impress the label -- And all this got me feeling like
It's way too much put on the table {Put on the table}
I'm still smoking outta O's {Outta O}
Some speculations cuz I'm hardly ever home {Yeah}
Easy to say 'bout how we supposed to move on
When we going threw depression and our Brother O's gone {Rest in peace}
Was told you gotta go threw hell to get the big thing {Thing}
And when you feel it can't get worse -- That's when shit change
Obama's president, The Steelers won the 6th {Okay}
So I aint threw trying -- I feel like I can do anything
[Chorus]
They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it
And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it
Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now
I made it too far to look back down
But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told
And I ain't never ever going back to being broke
Cause, F-Y-I
I stay on my grind {grind}
Tryna stop my shine,
That day'll be never, ever
[Bridge]
Sturdy small town {Town}
That we major {Major}
We done made it to the top -- Floor
From the basement
We done made it to the top -- Floor
From the basement
We done made it to the top -- Floor
From the basement
[Verse]
Big city, small town {Town}
That's when you're money's up {Up}
That's when they all 'round {All 'round}
But the minute that you slip
They dip
And it's no one to depend on when the chips fall down {Okay}
Me, I never cut a corner short
I follow protocol {Protocol}
Got my focus on {On}
Took my notes and all
This hard work, gone pay off {Yeah}
The second that I'm rich -- I take the day off {Day off}
[Chorus]
They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it
And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it
Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now
I made it too far to look back down
But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told
And I ain't never ever going back to being broke
Cause, F-Y-I
I stay on my grind {grind}
Tryna stop my shine,
That day'll be never, ever
[Bridge]
If you out there on your grind
Put your hand up in the sky -- Say "We grindin'" {We Grindin'} {Uh huh}
{Ay} If you got it and you tryna get some more
Tell them boys "Yeah, we climbin'" {We climbin'}
To my people
Who know about strugglin'
Tryna get somethin' -- {Yup} Cuz we came up for nothin' {For nothin'}
What you in a rush for?
It's all about timin'
As soon as you're on -- You know the limit's the sky {You know the limit's the sky}
[Chorus]
They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it
And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it
Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now
I made it too far to look back down
But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told
And I ain't never ever going back to being broke
Cause, F-Y-I
I stay on my grind {grind}
Tryna stop my shine,
That day'll be never, ever
