Lyrics Been There - Junior Kelly

Been There

Have you been there, been there
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
Have you been there, been there
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
Have you been there, been there
The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chains
Have you been there, been there
Left behind, locked behind them, behind them bars deh
I take dem abuse and gun shot and scars deh
but mi nuh care whe dem want say
Me ignite, shine bright like one of dem stars deh
A this a whe them cant say, in a the height of the hunger, the heat of the
battle mi run way
no man nuh want fi fail
the big bad world wi got to face it, tell u the truth sometimes mi scared
Have you been there, been there
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
Have you been there, been there
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
Have you been there, been there
The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chain
Have you been there, been there
Have the, have the empty cupboards and the youths dem looking at me,
mi nuh see no way out
somebody help me, help me
you see the gun ya well load, mi strap mi heavy heavy
me out fi rob somebody, me out fi shoot somebody
have fi hit the streets, gun shot a beat,
four days the youths dem nuh eat
things nuh criss neither curry
we so dependent on money
we so defeated on laws as we cling onto courage
Have you been there, been there
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
Have you been there, been there
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
Have you been there, been there
The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chains
Have you been there, been there
yow, yow, ghetto youths a tell unu,
I got so much to lose
mi a look fi better,
money fi stretch from ya so to the moon
mi nah bust nuh shot, mi a bust a tune yow
More time mi dont have a clue, and sometimes mi stress out and don’t know what
to do yow,
suicide some a dem a brew now, and the powers that be confused yow,
peace bruk war deh pon the avenue yow
Have you been there, been there
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
Have you been there, been there
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
Have you been there, been there
The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chain
Have you been there, been there.
