"I guess you wonder where I've been"
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
[Hook]
I've been on my Charles sh**
Making music that'd make em say "aw sh**" like...
Bada-ba-ba-baaa
Don't even bother talking
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
I've been on my Charles sh**
When the ba** hit your face, you saying "aw sh**" like...
Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
[Verse 1]
Wah gwan mi yute, it's Charles Marley
All gnarly, y'all call me to start parties
I ain't a Democrat, Harlem like The Diplomats
This is crack mixed with black & mild, picture that
In your lungs, breathe in, breathe out
We in the house
D-E-M-E, dig me?
It's the kid of the century
The conveyor belt of the industry
I went from Morningside park in the dark
To waking up in the morning in a Palazzo
Got a bedroom with paintings from Pica**o
One cool gato, papo, feeling that? Tato
Watch hoes drop clothes when they spot dough
My pockets got dough, watch them drop slow
HCHO pushing the Navi, n***a drive slow
We ain't from here, pops, and the cops know
[Hook]
I've been on my Charles sh**
Making music that'd make em say "aw sh**" like...
Bada-ba-ba-baaa
Don't even bother talking
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
I've been on my Charles sh**
When the ba** hit your face, you saying "aw sh**" like...
Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
[Verse 2]
Spitting wild in Record Plant
Getting down, my stomach growls then we out, Mr. Chows
Konichiwa, I'm living loud, this n***a's wild
This is how you go from rags to riches
Mad at b**hes, didn't wanna show me no love
Overdosing on d**, comatosing the rug
Now they wanna get a hug, get a kiss, get a G stack
You bisach, relax, roll a tree sack
He's back from the dead, so many thoughts in the back of my head
So I rap for the pa**ion, couldn't give a crap for the bread
The contract was blacking, but the fact is I said
I do it for the love, it's not surprising
What's paranoid, now I'm smooth like Ronald Isley
The Good Life
Think that I'm co*ky? Ah well
I'll do What You Won't Do For Love, Bobby Caldwell, aww well
[Hook]
I've been on my Charles sh**
Making music that'd make em say "aw sh**" like...
Bada-ba-ba-baaa
Don't even bother talking
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
I've been on my Charles sh**
When the ba** hit your face, you saying "aw sh**" like...
Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
[Verse 3]
The troublemaker on ba**, I'm the treble-maker
The hellraiser to you pinheads, the heaven breaker
Even God told Moses to split the sea
Listen please or get fried to a frica**ee
This is me, The Real McCoy
Keep it real, you know you gon feel the boy
You still enjoy music that I made two years ago
My kicks are fresh, you gon need new stereos
When I step on tracks like a runner
Got clapped in the summer, now I'm back for her number
Dear Summer, I know you gon miss me
When I make history, you know, you lyin' to piss me
Off, only right I dropped in August
But whenever this sh** should drop
It'd be a out of body, your hip for hop, spit so hot, nothing I flip will flop
That hit the spot, like a quicky at six o'clock
[Hook]
I've been on my Charles sh**
Making music that'd make em say "aw sh**" like...
Bada-ba-ba-baaa
Don't even bother talking
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
I've been on my Charles sh**
When the ba** hit your face, you saying "aw sh**" like...
Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba
"I guess you wonder where I've been"
[Outro]
I've been to...
n***a, Em flew me out
Flew me out of the leer
I call it the leer, it was a private plane
Yea
My man 3H took me to Nobu
What was the bill?
I think it was what, I think it was over a G
What you know about filet mignon at a Japanese Restaurant, ya dig
I'm out here in Cali, rolling up the Cali
Yea
You already know, Harlem World to fullest
Lenox, 7, 8
And what about the east side
