[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
