Lyrics
Been There
By GENEROW
Rapped to Above and Beyond
By Heavy Weight Beats
written 9/25/09
I want to give a shout out to freedom fighters across the globe
From the beginning of time, to our present day struggle against terrorism
And beyond for a future battle, still to come, lead by the trinity, to settle all debts
Bring it back, bring it back
The generow back to stack
Put in work
Make it crack
Yes, yes, yes, Im a do that
rehabilitated, reinstated, iv medicated
hospitalized, now revitalized
Nearly took my last breath,
yo I took the ultimate test, two steps to death
couldnt understand, it didnt land
I missed him with my left
missed him with my left
everybody duck, the grenade done landed
2 feet in front of me, my boys on crouched knee
Just the bomb and me, taking cover would kill us see
No other choice but to make it right
Kill the light, this the night, the white knight
In shining armor, blaze that glory
Im a hide from nobody
Jumped on the bomb, sing me a song
As I died, I didnt cry
Saved my homies, my comrades, in Iraq
All I see is black
But I still attack, and attack
the body fails me, end of story
moment of silence
(chorus)
cant say I been there
but I took the rap, gave up some slack
I sacrificed, now Im cold as ice
Stirred but not shaken
My boys they aint taking
Plans of my enemies
be crushed, I be breaking
as if my name was satan
cant say I been there
but I took the rap, gave up some slack
I sacrificed, sacrifice, I sacrificed
who the realest of the rap industry
label me the outcast, I come in last
from a long line of gentlemen
Ive done my sin, and been forgiven
Now I pray for the trinity
An elephant for each of us
Wheres my baby brother
Bring your money and the guns
We off to the war, brother number two
Where are you? long gone on your own
Dead body found, but no trace, of triple face on the tags
No I.D. nor elephants on your rag
MIA MIA designate you MIA
The trinity prays, and we pray, for the day, you return
Let there be eternal life, for the trinity
Blessed it be the trinity
This the prayer, that I offer
I dont think twice and just sacrifice
dont think twice and just sacrifice
sacrifice, just sacrifice
(chorus)
cant say I been there
but I took the rap, gave up some slack
I sacrificed, now Im cold as ice
Stirred but not shaken
My boys they aint taking
Plans of my enemies
be crushed, I be breaking
as if my name was satan
It was said, there was a time
1999, the end of times
No more shine, drink your wine, and be merry
Man they tried to scare me
Now the mayans trying to tell me
Come 2012, Im going to hell
CD sales, for 3 years on the T
I guarantee, my enemies gonna be here right with me
Up until the end, and my friends
We gonna carry, the cross, take a loss, for the boss
What it costs, to be the greatest, and most hated
Ill take them both, as I toke, on the greenest bud Ive ever smoked
Aint no joke, when you sacrifice
Save a life, the kingdom will rise
Before your eyes
This no lie, grow my wings, Im a fly
(chorus)
cant say I been there
but I took the rap, gave up some slack
I sacrificed, now Im cold as ice
Stirred but not shaken
My boys they aint taking
Plans of my enemies
be crushed, I be breaking
as if my name was satan
