[Intro]
I'm tryna tell ya I been there before....feel me....
[Verse: 2Ru3]
I know how it feels when you deep in love
And the one you love ain't as real as they seem bruh
They say the love ya, but then they turn they back on ya
Point the finger at ya, sit back, and then laugh homie
And even though you keeping it real, and keeping it true
Even folks on your team, speaking evil of you
And now you sitting meditating, and constantly contemplating
Why in your life does it seem, you only see constant hatred
Trying to figure why is it the ones you love and hold close
Eat you up, and spit you out, and then leave you in the cold
They leave you hanging like a rag on a clothes-line post
Then they knock you down with the quickness like you got clothes-lined yo
It seems no matter what you doing all you gaining is pain
So you figured man, just forget it, I'll get used to it mane
Cause it seems you'll never enjoy what other people enjoy
True love from the ones whom you love and adore
You tired of dealing with homies who seem real, but really fraud
And taking chances with dames who you later learn just play with hearts
You feel like you can't make it and tell the Lord you can't take it
But it feels like He ain't even listenin' so you retracting your statement
I know the pain that you feel, I know the heart that you have
I know you think all the good times you've ever had is all you'll ever have
And when folks try to motivate ya, you close your ears and your mind
Cause it seems they saying the same thing every time
But don't let those who hate ya....belittle ya mane
You can't make it, and i know it, cause I been there mane.....
Ay, doing this to let you know
I been there before.........
