# **“WHERE I BEEN”**
**[Intro]**
Yeah
Ayy, turn me up some
Look—
They see where you at
They don't know where you been
Let's go
**[Hook]**
You don't know where I been, you just see me right now
Had to stand on my own, had to figure it out
Long nights, hard times, still I never backed down
Now I ride through the city with my head in the clouds
Where I been, where I been
Had to lose a couple times just to learn how to win
Where I been, where I been
Same city, same me, I just think bigger than then
**[Verse 1]**
Look—
I came up where you learn how to read the whole room
Mama said, “Stay focused, don't be leaving too soon”
Had dreams way bigger than the walls in my room
So I started making plans, told myself I gotta move
Ain't nobody give a map, had to find me a route
When they said it couldn't happen, I was figuring it out
Used to ride with the gas light blinking on E
Now I'm thinking 'bout a garage with a whole fleet
That's growth
I ain't trying to impress nobody
I'd rather put some money into something that can profit
Everybody want the shine, everybody want the watches
I'm trying to own the building where they're buying all the products
**[Hook]**
You don't know where I been, you just see me right now
Had to stand on my own, had to figure it out
Long nights, hard times, still I never backed down
Now I ride through the city with my head in the clouds
Where I been, where I been
Had to lose a couple times just to learn how to win
Where I been, where I been
Same city, same me, I just think bigger than then
**[Verse 2]**
Ayy—
Still ride through the same side
Same streets, just a different mind
Used to think about today
Now I'm plotting ten years down the line
I need land
I need keys
I need something I can leave
Something bigger than myself
Something my family can keep
That's the mission
Had to tighten my circle and sharpen my vision
Everybody can't ride when you changing direction
Some people see a dream, other people see a question
I saw an opportunity and turned it to obsession
**[Flow Switch]**
Okay—GO!
Stack, save, build, repeat
That's four words I keep with me
Work hard, stay on my feet
No shortcuts coming with me
ATL nights, 285
City glowing while I ride
Got a lot up on my mind
But I'm thankful I'm alive
**[Bridge]**
I know the road get rough
I know the nights get long
But every time I fell
I came back twice as strong
Can't forget where I'm from
Can't forget what it taught
Everything that I have
Started first as a thought
**[Final Verse]**
They see confidence now, didn't see all the doubt
Didn't see me making plans when it wasn't working out
Didn't see the doors close, didn't hear all the “no's”
But every closed door showed me another way to go
So I kept moving
Kept building
Kept dreaming
Kept reaching
Now when somebody tell me that they can't make it happen
I tell 'em keep believing
Because the street taught lessons you don't find inside a book
Learn to watch people's actions, not just how somebody look
Learn your name worth m
