Since You Been Away Lyrics

[Intro: Lil Durk]
Chopsquad
You gotta close your eyes to feel this, ya feel me?
It's like the beat talkin' to you like
Like you can really have a conversation with this motherfucker
Huh, I'm 'bout to talk to you though
Chopsquad
Yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus: Lil Durk]
Since you been away
I been down and lonely
Since you been away
I been thinkin' of you
Tryna understand the reason you left me
What are we goin' through
, hell
Like Yeeaaah
I'm tryna get rich I'm tryna get rich, yuh
Yeeaaaah
Put my money on my mind, family up on my mind, yeah yeah yeah
Yeeaaah
Imma turn it up Imma turn it up Imma turn it up, yeah
Like they don't know what I'm goin' through
They don't know what I'm goin' through
What I'm goin' through, yeah yeah
[Verse 1: Lil Durk]
I spent nights on that black block
There a nigga try me when I'm out
Then I got caught
Police know my face, so I gotta play that back block
Call of Duty, Chiraq
You know I'm a Black Op
So I gotta whack opps
? made me nervous cause his death was on my conscience
Was pulled over, he wasn't swervin' and drivin' I'm being honest
Nobody to blame
I'm wipin' that apartment
Where Nuski died the same night we ridin', sparkin'
Load it, reload it, jumpin' out sparkin'
I ain't gotta talk, I know the F-E-D's watchin'
Money Power Respect, I made myself a target
JMoney was my brother I mean this
Niggas nowadays don't mean shit
At ? funeral it was still tears
I love my niggas like my brotha's momma kids
And loyalty go a long way
I just want my dick sucked, I had a long day
Jesus
I remember niggas ain't believe us
I told DThang tables turnin', they gon' need us
Like fiends need the needles
We was out here strapped like Adidas
C-Belt, they gon' felt everything he felt
Mama felt, we felt
Put the family first, everything else gon' be there
If we want war, we gon' declare
This time don't wait on nobody, yeah
[Chorus: Lil Durk]
Since you been away
I been down and lonely
Since you been away
I been thinkin' of you
Tryna understand the...
Reason you left me
What are we goin' through
, hell
Like Yeeaaah
I'm tryna get rich I'm tryna get rich, yuh
Yeeaaaah
Put my money on my mind, family up on my mind, yeah yeah yeah
Yeeaaah
Imma turn it up Imma turn it up Imma turn it up, yeah
Like they don't know what I'm goin' through
They don't know what I'm goin' through
What I'm goin' through, yeah yeah

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 [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Throughout the whole song Durk samples the flow of one of Diana Ross' most popular hits, “Missing You” while also putting his own twist to it as he’s speaking to some of the fallen 300 and 600/OTF gang members he called friends/family and reminiscences about their past. His homage to Diana’s song goes even further as he also chooses to implement some of the song’s intro into his version.
