[Hook]

I see you in the dark, Cause I’ve been where you are

You’re too scared to show me love, Cause too fresh with the scars

[Verse 1: Ivan B]

Yeah, look

I'm so tired of bussing these tables

To put some food on the table

Tired of all y'all thinkin' I walk around with a halo

Put myself on a pay road

I helped the fam with the pesos

Can't get out of this house

Unless my bank account says so

All these insufficient funds, story of the night

Crazy how a piece of paper wraps around your life

And to hear my father laugh, yo it's really been a while

Like, we really only work so maybe we can cop a smile

I've been thinkin' too much, my homies drinkin' too much

So listen, this one for your soul, my brother, fill up your cup

Cause all that silence is cancer, when she calls

You don't answer, bro, just cause she with you it doesn't mean that you have her

Late night hoops with the boys

Bless efy with the lay ups, we stay up

They say if I shoot and make it, don't forget to take us

I know, we always playin' just to look at the stars

I know you scared of the future, my man, I've been where you are

I know

[Hook]

I see you in the dark, Cause I’ve been where you are. (Yeah)

You’re too scared to show me love, Cause too fresh with the scars

[Verse 2]

Yeah

I lost the love of my life, for chasing more out of life

Been lookin' up to the heavens, like "Am I doing this right?"

I've been obsessing over love, yeah, that's a fight I never won

What I learn from the war? Find who you are before the one

Now they askin' where's the old me, man, y'all don't even know me

Forced my way into the stars

And George Lucas couldn't clone me

Gotta elephant mind, Gotta trunk full of rhymes

What's a Rolex on you're wrist when you been workin' overtime

Yeah, walkin' through the hallway

Freshman year, got many fears

I got my headphones on my ears

I never listen to my peers

Now they spinnin' what I'm spittin' but they salty wavin' back

The more you get from life, the bigger target on your back

So I kept my circle close, we built the things that we have

Cause jealousy is hating love you wish that you had

So listen when I say you gotta fight for yourself

You gotta chase the life you wanna live

I've been there myself

[Hook]

I see you in the dark, Cause I’ve been where you are

You’re too scared to show me love, Cause too fresh with the scars

[Verse 3: Ivan B]

Last one

They love when they break you

Hate you when you find the...happiness they're lookin' for

So no, I got no answer for the voicemails in my phone

And all the texts like "Where you be at?"

No time for all that nonsense

Got no time to even re-act

All I know is who I be

To the girl I met last week

You shouldn't need thirty minutes for you to like what you see

I wanna see behind the scene's

I wanna see what beauty brings

I wanna meet the girl at home before she bought these nice things

Put my chips inside these dreams

Now I'm going all in, I'm ballin'

My time is ringin' like my exes be callin', I'm on it

I got these circles around my eyes, man I can hardly sleep

When you ain't workin' someone else is "Are you strong or weak?"

The time is now, take a sip, or let it slip

You up to bat, they wanna miss

You gotta swing to make a hit

Don't you listen to the crowd

But feel the beat of your heart

I know you scared of what you want my love

I've been where you are

[Outro: Ivan B]

Yeah, yeah, that's it!

We made it baby!

Haha
