Been Through That Lyrics

[Intro: Majid Al Maskati]
Slide with it, slide it with
Slide it with, now glide with it
Now work, work, work, work, work, work, work
Now slide with it, slide it with
Slide it with, now glide with it
Now work, work, work, work, work, work, work

[Verse 1: Majid Al Maskati]
Sunrise
Liftin' you up when it all seems down (It all seems down)
Radio, woah, oh-oh
Play this song 'til it's all played out (All played out, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
You play, you don't wanna play no games
You don't wanna play no games, no
Sometimes you have bad days, but
Some things you just can't change
Your girls ask who you lay with
You don't wanna say no names (No names)
Sometimes they have bad days
When you wanna give, they don't wanna give

[Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
Sometimes when you drink too much
You still call when it's late, I've been through that
Days when you think it's love, feel like it might be an act, I've been through that
Times when you drink too much
You still call whеn it's late, I've been through that
Days when you think it's lovе, feel like it might be an act, I've been through that (That)
[Post-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
I've been through that, I've been through that (I've been through that)
I've been through that, I've been through that

[Verse 2: Majid Al Maskati]
I can tell you feel a way, is that why you stay away? (Stay away)
Sell you dreams on day to day, is that why you stay away? (Stay away)
You fell for it all before, it's got you stuck in a daze
Always sacrifice 'cause you wanna save face, but you never saved
(There are ways unattempted)

[Pre-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
You don't wanna play no games
You don't wanna play no games, no
Sometimes you have bad days, but
Some things you just can't change
Your girls ask who you lay with
You don't wanna say no names (No names)
Sometimes they have bad days
When you wanna give, they don't wanna give

[Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
Sometimes when you drink too much
You still call when it's late, I've been through that
Days when you think it's love, feel like it might be an act I've been through that
Times when you drink too much
You still call when it's late, I've been through that
Days when you think it's love, feel like it might be an act, I've been through that (That)
[Post-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]
I've been through that, I've been through that (I've been through that)
I've been through that, I've been through that (I've been through that)
I've been through that, I've been through that (I've been through that)
I've been through that, I've been through that

[Outro: Majid Al Maskati]
Slide with it, slide it with
Slide it with, now glide with it
Now work, work, work, work, work, work, work (Ooh)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

We’ve all been through when you’re looking back on your life, just moments that you had to go through stuff—it’s basically that idea. I see you, I recognise that because I’ve been through that.”
Jordan: “Yeah, and when we can communicate these things to other people, we can forgive ourselves and not hold on to it. To make it something that would be more dark in the production lane, it just didn’t make sense. It made sense to make it as fun and groovy as possible, because it’s really just kind of a conversation that we’re having and put it to a song.

What did Majid Jordan say about "Been Through That"?
Genius Answer

We made “Been Through That” because all of us have had days where we go through it – we hold in stresses and traumas and we breeze over top of them and distract ourselves and then every once in a while they hit us all at once.
