Jelly Roll - Where I've Been lyrics

The other day you know I was rapping with a partner of mine you know real good christian cat A paster matter of fact and uh you know he told me to whom much is given much is required and with great power comes great responsibility I told em ya know I could just go off what I been through… you know I don't know where I'm going But I do know where I've been Came so far came so hard The journey makes you smart And I've learned so much since then I tell em I'm doing fine even though I'm doing bad They got problems of they own I don't wanna add to that Me okay imagine that its just a magic act I play hurt and don't cry n they act mad at that Left on foot came back in a benz Money don't make me happy you believe it so I pretend Any man living like me I commend The situation I'm in is better than the pen The pen is powerful The voice is a weapon The brain is a machine you know if you've been gifted You've been cursed but it could be worse Lost contact with those who loved me first I cant find my place but I diligently search Don't grunt don't groan but it definitely hurts Came to find out prayer definitely works Too worried about the world not concerned with the earth and uh I don't know where I'm going But I do know where I've been Came so far came so hard The journey makes you smart and I've learned so much since then I got pain hydrocodone don't work on Percoset don't touch it Oxycontin cant budge it The pain of dealing with the dirt that I've done Mamas in trauma crying over their sons The good girls that I've turned bad I think about where they at I was wrong for that I repent for my sins but I'm so far gone I cant remember em all can yall Talking to my oldest Made her put it on her pinky Don't let anyone separate you from kiki Yall sisters You gone need each other When I'm gone you still see me in each other Stick with one another The world is a bit overwhelming You need all the help you can get Someday yall be one another's bridesmaids Sitting on the porch watching yall kids play I don't know where I'm going But I do know where I've been Came so far came so hard The journey makes you smart and I've learned so much since then My wife so tolerant Talk about heaven sent Took her through some places That she should've never been Put her thru some things she never should went through She done did a lot for me that she didn't have to Argue but a lot of times I do it out of love Cause you don't stand a chance Here if you not tough She gullible I find that lovable Cause gullibility for me was over in my teens She my motivation They say behind every good man If you look you'll find A good woman well there she go right there With the prom queen face and the Pantene hair She believes in the dreams that a lot of women laughed Knows when to keep on knows when to back off So hard that she gotta be soft I gotta beautiful lady and she make beautiful babies I don't know where I'm going But I do know where I've been Came so far came so hard The journey makes you smart and I've learned so much since then
