Where I've Been

"I guess you wonder where I've been" "I guess you wonder where I've been" "I guess you wonder where I've been" [Hook] I've been on my Charles shit Making music that'd make em say "aw shit" like... Bada-ba-ba-baaa Don't even bother talking "I guess you wonder where I've been" I've been on my Charles shit When the bass hit your face, you saying "aw shit" like... Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba "I guess you wonder where I've been" [Verse 1] Wah gwan mi yute, it's Charles Marley All gnarly, y'all call me to start parties I ain't a Democrat, Harlem like The Diplomats This is crack mixed with black & mild, picture that In your lungs, breathe in, breathe out We in the house D-E-M-E, dig me? It's the kid of the century The conveyor belt of the industry I went from Morningside park in the dark To waking up in the morning in a Palazzo Got a bedroom with paintings from Picasso One cool gato, papo, feeling that? Tato Watch hoes drop clothes when they spot dough My pockets got dough, watch them drop slow HCHO pushing the Navi, nigga drive slow We ain't from here, pops, and the cops know [Hook] I've been on my Charles shit Making music that'd make em say "aw shit" like... Bada-ba-ba-baaa Don't even bother talking "I guess you wonder where I've been" I've been on my Charles shit When the bass hit your face, you saying "aw shit" like... Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba "I guess you wonder where I've been" [Verse 2] Spitting wild in Record Plant Getting down, my stomach growls then we out, Mr. Chows Konichiwa, I'm living loud, this nigga's wild This is how you go from rags to riches Mad at bitches, didn't wanna show me no love Overdosing on drugs, comatosing the rug Now they wanna get a hug, get a kiss, get a G stack You bisach, relax, roll a tree sack He's back from the dead, so many thoughts in the back of my head So I rap for the passion, couldn't give a crap for the bread The contract was blacking, but the fact is I said I do it for the love, it's not surprising What's paranoid, now I'm smooth like Ronald Isley The Good Life Think that I'm cocky? Ah well I'll do What You Won't Do For Love, Bobby Caldwell, aww well [Hook] I've been on my Charles shit Making music that'd make em say "aw shit" like... Bada-ba-ba-baaa Don't even bother talking "I guess you wonder where I've been" I've been on my Charles shit When the bass hit your face, you saying "aw shit" like... Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba "I guess you wonder where I've been" [Verse 3] The troublemaker on bass, I'm the treble-maker The hellraiser to you pinheads, the heaven breaker Even God told Moses to split the sea Listen please or get fried to a fricassee This is me, The Real McCoy Keep it real, you know you gon feel the boy You still enjoy music that I made two years ago My kicks are fresh, you gon need new stereos When I step on tracks like a runner Got clapped in the summer, now I'm back for her number Dear Summer, I know you gon miss me When I make history, you know, you lyin' to piss me Off, only right I dropped in August But whenever this shit should drop It'd be a out of body, your hip for hop, spit so hot, nothing I flip will flop That hit the spot, like a quicky at six o'clock [Hook] I've been on my Charles shit Making music that'd make em say "aw shit" like... Bada-ba-ba-baaa Don't even bother talking "I guess you wonder where I've been" I've been on my Charles shit When the bass hit your face, you saying "aw shit" like... Bada-dada-dada-baa-baba "I guess you wonder where I've been" [Outro] I've been to... Nigga, Em flew me out Flew me out of the leer I call it the leer, it was a private plane Yea My man 3H took me to Nobu What was the bill? I think it was what, I think it was over a G What you know about filet mignon at a Japanese Restaurant, ya dig I'm out here in Cali, rolling up the Cali Yea You already know, Harlem World to fullest Lenox, 7, 8 And what about the east side
