Dave East
Never Been
[Verse 1: Dave East]
Uh
Our life was never borin' (Never)
Every 5 dollars counted, shit that sandwich was important (Every 5)
I love my n***as, understand it how I call it
Loc 'till I'm dead, like eggs we would scramble every mornin'
Holla at red (Craccin’)
LAX, we landin' at 4 (Four)
Me and Loc use to stand by the store
Hope the cameras was off (I hope)
I did my own dirt, puttin' all of my own work
How much I could make off of these grams? That was my homework
You can't understand the highway 'till you hit the road first (Uh)
Thinkin' I was a draft pick the minute I had that growth spurt (Uh)
Same n***a played the corner, bodega with no shirt (No shirt)
Sunflower seeds and Sour Patches, I was askin'
For extensions on the rent, now it's designer fabric (Designer)
Couldn't sit on auntie furniture, if not the plastic (we couldn't )
Really gotta be out your mind to survive the madness
It ain't hard to buy a boat, it's hard to find a captain
It ain't hard to find the smoke, it just depend who askin' (who want it?)
I gave hope to every block that's in upper Manhattan (Harlem)
We gave dough burn the tips, I use to light my baggies (burner)
Don't focus on us, focus on keepin' wifey happy

[Chorus: Dave East]
If you my n***a, you ain't ever gotta question it
I give you my last, I think my heart too big to measure it
Step on the gas, I'm standin' up 'cause I could never sit
Tryna take my n***as to all the places they never been
If you my n***a, you ain't ever gotta question it
Step on the gas, I'm standin' up 'cause I could never sit
Tryna take my n***as to all the places they never been
[Verse 2: Dave East]
It was so real, breakfast lunch and dinner was oatmeal
I don't drink soda but I'm so familiar with coke deals
They robbed him when he bought it, ain't get to see how that coat feels
Might not know her name but I could tell you how her throat feels
You don't really know me, you ain't know me when I sold pills
Bub told me don't pour it up if it ain't got no seal
Chill never paid the bills, mental racin' still
Had no TV, now I pay multiple cable bills
I remember Malil tellin' me, "Take the wheel"
Back when Freekey told me rap they probably gonna make a deal
Deafen my body, I hate the way it make me feel
If my n***as slidin', I'm slidin', I really played the field
We got felonies but jealously can never break us
Talked to Drizzy up in Toronto, I'm missin' hella paper
Most of my n***as do bids, chasin' money, go up north and get big
Might come home to no crib
We got parole on us, walk with the heat, we keep the stove on us
NYPD just pray that I get pulled with old warrants
If you told on us, on God, you broke the code on us
5 in the mornin', in your momma crib with no warnin'

[Chorus: Dave East]
If you my n***a you ain't ever gotta question it
I give you my last, I think my heart too big to measure it
Step on the gas, I'm standin' up 'cause I could never sit
Tryna take my n***as to all the places they never been
[Outro: Dave East]
If you my n***a you ain't ever gotta question it
Step on the gas, I'm standin' up 'cause I could never sit
Tryna take my n***as to all the places they never been
Tryna take my n***as to all the places they never been
Tryna take my n***as to all the places they never been
Tryna take my n***as to all the places they never been
