I’ve Been Down Lyrics

Hook:
Lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road

Verse #1
Imma half past empty mind is a symphony coming from the city that don’t except no sympathy all I ever wanted to be was excepted but I figured that wouldn’t happen cause my completion wasn’t a normal reflection my momma always told me just be yourself so I give you my all plus my intestines it’s amazing how quick I grew up like an erection you would of thought that I lost my compass even though I was a lil bad ass causing a ruckus I went from a bucket to a 2015 Altima from sleeping in a cinema to living residential from everyday starving to anything with no bargain my mind has been sharpened and that’s how I did it so fuck if you were thinking different

Hook:
Lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road Lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road

Verse #2
- [ ] My life is an exhibit that has window panes all up in it I can remember the image so vivid of the first bar that I’ve ever spitted some people say I’m talented and gifted but the truth is I’m just like you only difference is time and persistence it’s been many years and miles shed so many tears through trials and tribulations just a stigma of a mental patient although one good thing about music when it hits you you feel no pain Rest In Peace to Marley forever medicated in my brain so as I get hit with this purple rain I got Stevie nicks singing to me her greatest hits while I’m driving like a rocket man now imagine this like Lennon just trying to spark something in the dark for the ghetto children I show no remorse to the better life that I’m living from a peasant to a pharaoh I steady filling in the gap lost some friends along the way and it hurts that I can’t bring them back but in order for me to grow I have to let go of my past true that so I keep one foot on the gas while the radio was playing

Hook:


Lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road Lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road road lately I’ve been down on the road
