Mary J. Blige f Eve - Where I`ve Been слова песни
To all the youth in the worldThey think that nobody understandsWell I understand thatIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atI grew up as a seventies babyBrought up in poverty and sinMaking jokes at the crazy ladyNever cared how she was dealing withinI knew all the words to MichaelJackson`s album as a kidAnd when it came to the biggest pressureNo he wasn`t my manAt the age of seven years oldA strange thing happened to meBefore I even saw my life had flashed before meAnd I`ve got the marks to showAnd it became a thing of youSo I gotta let you know that my life and my lifeIt`s been hard for me (it`s been)Trying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atNow mama`s working hard all dayAnd she said this before she left homeTake care of your little brotherHave the place clean when I get homeAll this priorityMe and Tonya hadn`t learned to be grownBut at the time for meIt`s like grown had seemed so longWoke up at seventeenWith nothing going for meExcept the fact that I singYou know it hurts so muchFrom all the sights that I`ve seenFrom abusing to holding drugsYou probably couldn`t take some of the thingsThat I lived in my lifeIt`s been hard for me (it`s been hard)Trying struggling endlessly (I know, I know)For where I`ve been is no longer where I`m at (I know, I know)And where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atIt`s been hard for me (I`m wit you)Trying struggling endlessly (I`ve been there)For where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atIt`s hard when the street`s a jungleI`m telling you, I`m telling youEspecially with your pretty colorsI`m telling you, I`m telling youSo stay low and keep it humbleI`m telling you, I`m telling youBlack women hold it down keep your feet on the groundBlack men keep searchin and you`ll be foundIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping at [Eve]In this world of continuous bullshit and full clipsSeems all we have to pass on is being uselessBroken homes, babies all aloneParents never there, no food, no clothes to wearAnger everywhereAin`t no values being taughtNo productive thoughtsJealousy rules the world, take shit at any costGotta change our state of life make it worth livingGod gave me voices to speak, and that`s our way of givingIt`s so much bigger than the furs and duvelsWhat about encouraging the youth to do wellWhat about giving backWhat about unifying shit we all black, get it togetherEverybody`s got their trials and tribulationsLearn to change the negative to positive situationsDon`t hold the lessons that you`ve learnedPass it on and accept the blessings that you earnIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlesslyFor where I`ve been is no longer where I`m atAnd where I`m going is not where I`m stopping atIt`s been hard for meTrying struggling endlessly
