[Intro] {growling} It's the real shit right here baby Ya'meen? Ya'meen? It ain't like I don't do this, ya'meen? It ain't like I don't always spit the truth every motherfucking way baby! [Verse 1] Have you ever got up smiling, laid down crying First you love life then wish you were dying Been so fed up you gave up trying Kept it straight up but niggas kept lying Ever seen something that you wanted so bad And got it then wished it was something you never had You ever been so lost than you thought you won't make it If you ever been forced to do something you couldn't take it You ever felt so strong for so long But when it came down to it, turned out to be so wrong Wake yourself up like, where did I go wrong!? Just get back up, pray on it and go on [Chorus] Have you eva been up, ever been down Ever been lost, then came around Ever been through it then came outta there Never had it, then got a lot of it Have you eva been up, ever been down Ever been lost, then came around Ever been through it then came outta there Never had it, then got a lot of it [Verse 2] Have you ever wanted to go right, but then chose left Deep down with a lift to way shows death Burn in the night but everyday shows stress Regardless of what you think I'm going in that Have you ever wished upon a star that really wasn't there Gaze so in your heart, but really didn't care Found out at the wrong time that life wasn't fair And all you can do is take it, like ye Have you ever found out that the shit you was in was really Deeper, cause to me is tryin' to creep ya Back your Glock off put your ass in a sleeper Used to be my dog, now he's the Grim Reaper [Chorus] Have you eva been up, ever been down Ever been lost, then came around Ever been through it then came outta there Never had it, then got a lot of it Have you eva been up, ever been down Ever been lost, then came around Ever been through it then came outta there Never had it, then got a lot of it [Bridge] Ever seen something that you didn't want to see Had to be something that you didn't want to be Had to kill a nigga that looked just like me Wanted to believe to have a trust like me [Chorus] Have you eva been up, ever been down Ever been lost, then came around Ever been through it then came outta there Never had it, then got a lot of it Have you eva been up, ever been down Ever been lost, then came around Ever been through it then came outta there Never had it, then got a lot of it
