DJ Drama - Been A While Lyrics

You see
I remember the trials and tribulations (Gangsta Grillz)

It's been awhile, it's been awhile
It's been awhile since I could remember
(It's been awhile, it's been awhile)
(DJ Drama)

We ain't goin' back broke again on God, nigga
Been a while since I sold dope
Been a while since I robbed niggas
Let me pop mine, we on top with it
This predicament mean a lot to me
Doodas needed that Enfamil
I couldn't pay for it, really got to me
We on tour right now, f*ck what it cost, I'm bringin' the block with me
Lawyer only want a quarter to eat up the case, told me to drop fifty
Hardly home but I rep the hardest when it come to SAC, this my city
Baby still makin' payments on that lil' BBL and them fire titties
Drop pin and we got jiggy, tear a nigga whole street up
I'm in the back of the 'Bach, blowin' a Back' with both of my feet up
Like, damn, a nigga used to dream 'bout this shit now we livin' it
Was at a point in my life where I knew what I wanted but I couldn't picture it
Hand me downs, I remember, granny couch, I remember
Stand down and reap the benefits, illegitimate Benjamins
Bought moms a new whip, she started cryin', I tell her, "Don't mention it"
Seven summers in this rap shit and I'm here to stay, I extended it (yeah)

It's been awhile, it's been awhile
It's been awhile since I could remember
(It's been awhile, it's been awhile)
And I'm still flexin' on my old hoes
Ayy, someone said, said break the bro code
Oh, that's a no no
It's been awhile, it's been awhile
It's been awhile since I could remember
(It's been awhile, it's been awhile)

I remember, it was a long winter
February we lost Roc, it made us all sinners
We was still havin' innocence, was all beginners
Fast forward, I'm that nigga now we all winners (you know that)
I be busy, but them niggas with us they all with us (they all with us)
I get dizzy, that's 'cause I'm locked in with all the spinners (spin)
And this shit I'm rockin' is all expensive (ayy)
And I keep that Glock inside my pocket
'Cause I don't know y'all intentions (I don't know y'all intentions)
I was still a jit ran up that sack and I went bought a Hemi (G Herbo)
More cash I made I bought more Hemis and we had a hundred semis (Swerv')
I was like nineteen and ran it up off words
Move my mama to the 'burbs
I just did that for they safety
I was purgin', I was servin'
Half a milli' I was worth it
I was out there, you was nervous
Put my cousin 'nem through college (you know that)
Guess this shit was all worth it (you know that)
Since a youngin' I had knowledge
Since a youngin' I had problems
Me and my niggas ridin' drops
Been a minute since we dropped somethin' (uh, uh)

It's been awhile, it's been awhile
It's been awhile since I could remember (I could still remember)
(It's been awhile, it's been awhile)
And I'm still flexin' on my old hoes
Ayy, someone said, said break the bro code
Oh, that's a no no
It's been awhile, it's been awhile
It's been awhile since I could remember
(It's been awhile, it's been awhile)

It's been a while
Without the pressure
Without the pain
I guess it comes along with the game
(Gangsta Grillz)
Since I could remember
This all I ever wanted
And now we here
Mozzy
Herbo
