Been There Done That

Knew it all, I thought I knew it all I knew nothing till it came to an end The time has come to make move in my life I've seen it happen all again and again Looking back on all the things that I did I have regrets, but that's what it is So that was then and this is now I've seen it happen all again and again I've been there and done that – Look back Looking at life and where I'm at Where do I go from here – Think clear Is the question that we all fear Seen it all, I thought I seen it all I was blind until I opened my eyes Fuckin' up is how you learn in this life Take that for granted and you'll never survive Looking back on those things that I did I have regrets, but it is what it is That was then and this is now I've seen it happen all again and again I've been there and done that – Look back Looking at life and where I'm at Where do I go from here - Think clear Is the question that we all fear Think clear and look back Remember then and where you're at What don't kill you will make you strong There comes a time when you must move on I've seen a lot in my young age A lot has changed, memories remain the same There's different ways this game is played Our violent ways have to end some day

Beware of whats around you The elements of life will sometimes take you in Bad things always surround you Its your choice now to think Crime is easy to come by and temptation is bound to bring you down Corruption distorts your judgement and it seems you can't trust no one now Thinking to myself theres a price to pay Is it worth the pain The pain of someone taking your life away? Saying to myself there is a better way Its not worth the pain The pain of someone taking it all away Memories are here to remind you Learn from your brothers Dont make their mistakes Trouble will somehow find you Its your choice to contemplate Crime dont pay in the long run Money ain't worth the risk of death or jail Im not judging no one Im just thinking, talkin to myself

Boys from the new school Playing the same old game Wild eyes and short lives And ain't it a shame When everything you need to know Is out on the street Every lesson to learn Carved into concrete Fools die I don’t want to be a fool Fools die Boys from the old school Refuse to be part of the past Get caught up in the new rules They get wasted so fast When everything you need to know Is out on the street Every lesson to learn Carved into concrete Fools die I don’t want to be a fool Fools die
