Def Sound - I BEEN Lyrics

I've been everywhere

I've at been home

I've been scattered

I been looking in mirrors

And Now I

I know I'm the answer

I been

Reading in classes

I been out here living brand new chapters

I been

Living in living rooms

I've been invisible

I've been seen

I've been def

And sometimes I've even been listened too

I been

Letting go of where my letters go

Making moments more collectible

I been waaaaaaay less accessible

I been

I been working on my chair pose

I been speaking in moor codes

I been finding Lies in they libraries

Reparations is still owed

And I've been

Letting my blessings in

I've been 12th And Jefferson

I been

Inglewood, Pomona and

Slauson, I been Crenshaw

South Central, and Compton

I been gang affiliated and conscious

In my reality Banging was never an option

But

Those was my references

And Those where my settings is

I been

In all of these places of reverence

I been

And my life is just living evidence

I been

Chi town

South side

Everywhere my mother was watered

I been wanting to go to Panama

And thats the soil of my father

I been

Knowing it's such a dirty game I can't promise I ain't coming out spotless

I know

All of they gossip

I've been in relationships and most of em toxic

To thee point where you couldn't wash off the toxins

I been thirsty

I've been water

I've been plant based my whole life

And they finally dropped a vegan a** whopper

I been

I been at war w/ my demons

I got New greys every day

I see my Stress been increasing

I been stuck on the deep end

I been joining book club's Noname got ya boy reading

I been unlearning

I been Searching

I've been flexin

I've been flexible

I been taking hella days to reply to text from you

I'm sorry

I been honest

I've had my heart broken like promise

I been decolonizing my closet

I been intentional w/ my dollars

I been

I been learning boundaries

I been done w/ jobs payin hourly

I been thinking a lot more while I'm showering

I been putting my 10, 000 hours in

I been thinking bout ownership

I been thinking bout about how nah I don't really want the sh*t

I've been thinking about meaning

I been thinking bout us

I've been thinking bout freedom

I've been thinking about loyalty

I Been loving more openly

I been collecting more royalties

I Been flourishing whether or not you notice me

I've been doing more paperwork

Ya know signing more signatures

I been seeing how people work

I been seeing my people hurt

I been

I been everywhere

Been everywhere

I been

Doing hella things

Repressing hella sh*t

I been privileged

I've been generous

I been dodging hella sentences

I been running hella streets

And hella business

I been wearing everyone's version of what they vision is and it doesn't fit

And it doesn't fit

I been

Outside of your algorithm

I been deconstructing the whole system

I dunk on em

I don't diss em

I been

So different my soul different

So different my soles different

I been

So different my souls different

I

BEEN"
