What I Been Through(feat Big T Lil Ron And Young Redd Lyrics

[Intro]

 Hi, this is the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

 Today we're interviewing Lil' Flip (what's up man)

 So Lil' Flip tell me, how long have you been rapping

 (man I've been rapping ever since)...

 

 [Lil' Flip]

 1995, I was in junior high

 I saw a lot of shit, so I was glad to be alive

 A lot of people died, but a lot of people here

 And when I turned 15, my vision got clear

 It's time to be a man, time to make a plan

 It's cool to make a hundred, but it's best to make a grand

 My Granny got sick, and then they found cancer

 We got to pay the doctors, but God got the answer

 The surgery went good, my Granny doing well

 My baby on the way so I can't go to jail

 And to my niggas on the block, stop selling rocks

 Cause I'ma tell the truth you can't outsmart the cops

 You see what I did, I only drop hits

 Chopping up game, y'all chopping up bricks

 And some niggas snitch, cause they can't take the heat

 How we gone go buy a system when the system got his beat

 

 [Young Redd]

 Hey, I'm from the home of the Astros, home of the Rockets

 Born to rap yo, with a microphone in my pocket

 Always thought I was grown, you couldn't tell me nothing

 I would talk shit if you tried to tell me something

 But I regret that, I had some minor setbacks

 Old people thought my future would be jet black

 All my years growing up, I thought life was a game

 You can't make it real far, thinking life is a game

 Yeah we lost a couple of friends, I almost lost my brother

 I don't know what would of happened if we lost eachother

 Everyday is something new, I just take it in stride

 You only got one life, so enjoy the ride

 Sometimes I was paid, sometimes I was broke

 Me and Gray started hustling but my mama didn't know

 But it's cool, cause now I'm into this music

 The man gave us a gift and we loving to use it

 And if you look real close you'll see

 That you can only be you, and I can be me

 Cause can't nobody ever live my life but me

 But you will never see what I see like me huh me

 

 [Chorus: Big T - 2x]

 And you don't know what I've been through

 So you shouldn't judge me

 And you don't know what I will and I won't do

 So you shouldn't judge me

 

 [Lil Ron]

 It's getting harder now I just don't understand

 Why the people in the world disgrace the black man

 All that I could say, is pray and let it be

 Little right and try your best not to end up like me

 See I was the nigga that slang dope and steal cars

 Glad I stopped before it led behind bars

 Heart aches and scars, help me feel my way

 Understand today I got a decision to make

 Now do I wanna live right or continue going wrong

 I'm never at home this music keep a nigga gone

 But this is what gets me, who are you to judge

 Cause I'm young and black, people still hold a grudge

 Just a nudge right now'd push me over the end

 When I was 14 I lost a very close friend

 And ever since then my life ain't been the same

 That's the biggest reason why I had to make a change

 

 [Lil' Flip]

 Never judge a book by it's cover, a man by his wealth

 And if you already on your feet why don't you help somebody else

 This what I was taught, so that's what I live by

 Cause you can't take none of this shit with you when you die

 So everyday I try, to keep my head high

 But these bird ass niggas always jump fly

 Should I take em out the game, naw I'ma use my brain

 I'ma kill em with kindness, and blow up my name

 I came from nothing, and now I got a little change

 A nigga happy now but I went through some pain

 And everyday it rain, there's gone be some sunshine

 I never thought I could put my whole life in one rhyme

 

 [Chorus - 2x]
