Jasmine Mitchell - The Encore lyrics

[Verse 1] Something I gotta tell somebody, just in case you didn't know I gotta show you where I came from, so you can see where I gotta go See I started out with nothing and I've been through some things But there really ain't a difference, I gotta gotta little change [Pre-Chorus] I've been hood rich and I've been broke Singing in the choir, y'all, even sold dope See I've been clean and I've been high Lived like a king and I had to get by Had a couple tens in my bed at one time Them down as b**hes when I didn't have a dime Seen it all, heard it all, did it all Appreciate the rise, hope I never gotta fall [Chorus] Always thought that it would be good but I never had it this good I remember doing bad when a n***a didn't have, now I'm thinking back Always thought that it would be good but I never had it this good Had to get it how I could, I was so misunderstood out the hood, now it's all good [Verse 2] Old friends came and went, saying that I didn't act the same But I wasn't really different, it was them who started to change Had to go a new direction, didn't wanna let 'em go That was way before I noticed that they didn't wanna grow [Pre-Chorus] I've been hood rich and I've been broke Singing in the choir, y'all, even sold dope See I've been clean and I've been high Lived like a king and I had to get by Had a couple tens in my bed at one time Them down as b**hes when I didn't have a dime Seen it all, heard it all, did it all Appreciate the rise, hope I never gotta fall [Chorus] Always thought that it would be good but I never had it this good I remember doing bad when a n***a didn't have, now I'm thinking back Always thought that it would be good but I never had it this good Had to get it how I could, I was so misunderstood out the hood, now it's all good
