Where U Been - Intellectual

[Intro: Big Syke]

This goes out to all the young killers on the frontline

We ain't forgot about you, homie

[Hook: Danny boy]

Damn, you been away from the hood too long

A lot of things have changed since you've been gone

Damn, you been away from the hood too long

A lot of things have changed since you've been gone

Damn, you been away from the hood too long

A lot of things have changed since you've been gone

[Verse 1: Hussien Fatal]

I done been locked and jocked for the shit I've been claimin'

All that killin' and the drug dealin', shit them niggas gamin'

I dumped for real, Hoop Town gettin' ill

Force me to chill, 'cause they got shot and squeal

Punk ass niggas know the half on the ave

Through your town, and Downtown Newark, I mash

[Verse 2: Napoleon]

We call it thuggin', I ain't never go all of a sudden

L like I ain't wantin' nothing, then I just be frontin', buggin'

All my homies and my family, I put that on mother vein

Play by the summers it's goin' to be insanity

It ain't easy, to hold it in

When everybody around me is gettin' rich

Wonderin' where I been

[Verse 3: E.D.I. Mean]

Burned out and broke

Got me dead runnin' for two packs of boges

My whole life I've been choked

Since we graduated, bet you thought your boy hadn't made it

But it seem the dream that I was chasin'

Damn here is the thing that left me faded

Can't complain, shit, at least I'm still livin'

Although trippin' of all the fun that I was missin'

While I was boy is in prison—that's where I been

[Bridge: Danny Boy]

The homies wanna know where you are

[Verse 4: 2Pac]

I reminisce on dangerous summers

We're just a thug nigga workin' for drug dealers of neighborhoods

Run up by the age of 13

We was gunnin' and it was fun to see the police runnin'

Niggas disappear when we comin' little

Nappy head shorty addicted to drinkin' 40's

My niggas is naughty, and y'all niggas is fuckin' corny

But you left me in the summer of '89, a very good year

Crack cocaine sales rose in every hood here

'Til you got knocked

Then locked down, bag of rocks & fat knot

You shot down, what they tell me is you livin' well

Stuck in your cell

Don't get another slip ticket, drinkin' liquor in jail

Just as well, hell nigga, I bail, whenever needed

There's weed inside of the cereal box so don't eat it

Where you been nigga? My homies wanna know

Where you been nigga? (Alone) Where the fuck you been?

[Hook: Danny Boy & 2Pac]

A lot of things have changed since you've been gone

(Where you been nigga)

Damn, you been away from the hood too long

(My homies wanna know where you been)

A lot of things have changed since you've been gone

[Bridge: Danny Boy]

The homies wanna know where you are

[Collision: 2Pac & Syke]

Hey.., to them niggas in jail cell

To my homies in the livin' hell

To the niggas haven't stayed down

To all the bustas that are comin' around

To all the love ones that's gone

To my niggas better stay strong

To all the hogs that's puttin' in work

To all the young riders doin' dirt haha

[Hook: Danny Boy]

Damn, you been away from the hood too long

A lot of things have changed since you've been gone

Damn, you been away from the hood too long

A lot of things have changed since you've been gone

[Bridge: Danny Boy]

The homies wanna know where you are

[Collision: 2Pac & Fatal]

To all the young adolescent gettin' high stressin'

Can't act dumb don't ask questions

To all the other motherfuckers who runnin' blocks with they Glocks

And runnin' from the cops and blowin' up the very spot

To the hooriders that's on the streets

Lookin' for the police you out there creep

The real gang bangers slangin' thangs from the curb

My nigga love to earn gettin' ill...
