Ive Been by King Tu Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Back at it again with the pen and the pad
Everybody been partying I been in the lab
Been working on my craft since the day I lost my dad
But enough of that, man I'm on to the next one
Everybody saying that I gotta be the best one
My momma screaming that I gotta be the best uh
Said I gotta be the best
If I quit rapping might as well lay me to rest
I live for this, I die for this
Everybody be copping it
Never gonna stop, till I got my own metropolis
Every winter never knew December but we kept it rolling
Wanted a Rolex but I got my first chain
All accomplishments always comes with the pain
Spit a sixteen cause my father served a 16
I was 15 when he came back
I ain't move packs but I'm still this clean
I'ma do better
Never read one letter
Been after the throne ever since I was a little kid
Haven't prayed in a minute
Lord forgive for my sinning
Growing up all I ever knew was go and get it
Bout to crack the code like DaVinci
I've been on it
Everybody want it but they ain't ever gonna get it
I had to say that two times
Been on the Blue Print
Ever since the documentary I Always knew I had it in me
Spitting like a semi automatic
I've been at it
Everybody getting frantic
I ain't even had a chance to see what it would be if I had him back in the day
Everyone wilding out but I gotta get my way
I haven't had a chance to see what it would be if I had my grandmother for more than a week
She died on me when I was three months old
Every verse that I spit it reaches my soul oh
(Chorus)
I've been gunning for the top
Everybody knows I want it
Know I got the game on lock
Everybody else is fronting
Never gonna stop
Boy you know that I've been on it
I've been on it
I've been on it
I've been
I've been
(Verse 2)
I've been waiting for this moment
Now I'm gonna own it
Everybody want it
But you know they ain't grinding like me
Spent every morning, every hour, every minute
Just to be winning
But you ain't grinding like me
Everybody want it
I've been on it since a younging
But you're never gonna get it
Every sentence pushed in extra effort
But we gonna go and get it
Have you ever got a message from your momma saying that you better go and finish
Nah man, it ain't even like that
Just gonna put my whole city on map
Never gonna stop till I'm at the top counting stacks
Always rep my block
Milly rock where I'm at
Grew up on Kapahulu
Hallelujah
Never knew a shooter but we shooting shots
Hallelujah
Learned a thing or two from the block
My pops locked up for a lot of years
But that don't matter now
All that matters is my pockets getting fatter
All the haters getting madder
I'm climbing up the ladder
Everybody with the chitter chatter
I don't even care about it
If you talk you better be about it
Everybody getting bodied
You would be with anybody
I ain't ever getting sloppy
You already know about it
Everybody getting silent
I don't even need a pilot
Tryna be the greatest of all time
I got 5 nines for you cats with nine lives
And my god
Since i was ten I have been on my grind
It's already been decided
My team 20 deep man we never get divided
Every time you look at me, look at how Im grinding
Everybody shying but I love the competition
Everybody saying they winning but really who're they trying
Not me, boy you better go up in the backseat
(Chorus)
I've been gunning for the top
Everybody knows I want it
Know I got the game on lock
Everybody else is fronting
Never gonna stop
Boy you know that I've been on it
I've been on it
I've been on it
I've been
I've been
Back at it again with the pen and the pad
Everybody been partying I been in the lab
Been working on my craft since the day I lost my dad
But enough of that, man I'm on to the next one
