Been There Lyrics

I shoulda been there

Grew up wit my daddy

He stayed on that Martin Dr.

And it wasn't fair

Had me up in the church

He was close to the reverend

Real man had to say a prayer

Boy my daddy done taught me bout all of this shit

That man was really rare

I remember the last meal I had with my daddy

We eating Taco Bell

Then we drove by the crib

Had to pick up the sticks

He was really a player damn

I can't lie man I miss him

It fuck wit me instant

Couldn't see him before he left

Gotta go talk to god

Cause it's impossible seeing him gone damn

That's a real man

Man I shoulda been there

Coulda helped get you to the steps

I remember when I got the news I broke down

And I damn near had went deaf

I stayed up in that room and I cried out my eyes

Couldn't stop thinking bout the death

Cause you know that you my best friend

No living without you man

I remember them days that we played a lil ball

And you showed me yo backstep

Then you take me to work wit you and had the best times

Know you never slept

Rolling out to the springs you taught me to ride it out

Never miss a step

You promised to have my back

In the grave and you still got your promise kept

Man I shoulda been there

Thought this shit it juss wasn't fair

Thinking back on it really feeling like it's my fault

Bro I coulda helped

All them days and them nights

I'm looking out for yo call

I just can't accept

All that pickin them fights

I'm doin it cause you gone

Hope my feelings felt

Flipping and whipping these packs in the street

Used to be in that bitch every week

Gotta clear out my head and go hop on a beat

Only shit that can keep my head clean

Know these niggas they out here and hatin on me

Make my bitch put that nigga to sleep

Put that bread on his head slice em up like some cheese

pull out aim it and now ima squeeze

I shoulda been there

Grew up wit my daddy

He stayed on that Martin Dr.

And it wasn't fair

Had me up in the church

He was close to the reverend

Real man had to say a prayer

Boy my daddy done taught me bout all of this shit

That man was really rare

I remember the last meal I had with my daddy

We eating Taco Bell

Then we drove by the crib

Had to pick up the sticks

He was really a player damn

I can't lie man I miss him

It fuck wit me instant

Couldn't see him before he left

Gotta go talk to god

Cause it's impossible seeing him gone damn

That's a real man
