Jaymes Mean - Echoes In The Wind Lyrics

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down, on your luck
Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down, on your luck
I remember growing up, I had very little friends
Couldn't find a way to fit in, I couldn't get a hand
I was just a little youth, and I couldn't understand
Why I never had the toys that I wanted in the end
I was just a skinny kid with a silly accent
My parents overwhelmed so I couldn't get a cent
I got it on my own, a couple partners on my side
Pulling hustles on the low, B & E's, you know the slide
I never wanted to be bad, it was a hunger for more
I was so rich in life but I was mentally poor
I think God tried to show me couple knocks on the door
But I was too busy out here seeking for more, of course
I still struggle, I don't know who to trust
I learned my lesson when some friends tried to frame me for bucks
They say the world's a beautiful place but wicked at times
What goes around comes around, you learn that with the times
Have you ever been down
Down on your luck, trying to move ahead
But you feel stuck, calling out for help
But the echoes in the wind keep pushing right back
Now you're all by yourself
Have you ever been down
Down on your luck, trying to move ahead
But you feel stuck, calling out for help
But the echoes in the wind keep pushing right back
Now you're all by yourself
Well damn, now I'm grown, got it all on my own
Still in the zone, kicking bum niggas off of the throne
You know that I won't atone, don't hit me up on no phone
I'm living in a glass house and I'm still throwing stones
I'm smoking on some high class, a good case of the O's
Then hop on the microphone when I'm feeling the Jones
Get in a trance and reminisce on all the times that we had
Me and my partners chasing shorties we was all in our bags
Alas, we pouring liquor for the ones who ain't here
Shed tears and share laughs as we count down the years
An OG and for some reason they just want me to stop
I'm hip hop to the end, it got me out of the rut
It got me out of the mud, it got me out of the cold
I only do as I feel, I never do as I'm told
And that shit keeps the gun to my noggin from being cocked and squeezed
When I feel I can't win
Echoes in the wind
Have you ever been down
