roger troutman - been this way before (rap) lyrics
[verse 1]
well, i’ve been on a scene for a mighty long time
i never used drugs, because i’m fine
it meant destruction to some friends of mine
dope is mean, dope is unkind
yes, like a bad dream always on my mind
but from a bad dream you will awake
taking drugs is defining the stake
i’ve tripped to find drugs, and the story i tell
so listen all you people, and listen well
[verse 2]
well, seems to me, that i’ve been this way before
i’ve seen these sights, just where, i’m not sure
maybe in my dreams, or a story told
i would know these warnings even with a blindfold
(before) i know this path has an evil lead
you know it’s even circling in the summer breeze
yes, it’s evil and it’s lurking off to my side
but i have no fear, because i’ve been here
dig it! dig it!
[chorus]
i’ve been this way before
the path is dark and so unsure
filled with warnings, that we all ignore
i got to keep my eyes open
so i don’t miss the door, uh!
you got to keep your eyes open
so you don’t miss the door, dig it!
we got to keep our eyes open
so we don’t miss the door! dig it!
[verse 3]
now dig up, everybody, this is what i got to say
you got to choose real careful, not to go astray
well, i know this journey is useless, yeah
without wine, women, fun and song
but even wine, women, fun and songs, you need your own
if you don’t know, you gotta be strong
i’ve been here before
well, the part is rough for rich and poor
young and old, you see, i know
you know the road has so may (so many)
highways and byways, and faux ways and more ways
right ways and wrong ways
there’s so many ways, you know you better choose right!
dig it!
[verse 4]
ahead lies such a lovely flower
just look at it shine, as it lies among the pine
i’ve got to watch out, as it lies in its splendor
’cause i know that it’s waiting there to hinder
but it can’t fool me, ’cause i know, yes i know
yes, i know that it’s poison ivy
well, poison ivy makes me think about a friend i had
makes me think about a friend, who was my enemy
yes, he offered me a pill, he said my pain it would heal
but his pill only gave me a temporary thrill
i was trapped, like a slave
i was trapped, like a slave for the slow, slow k!ll
all joy from my journey this dope would steal
now the thought of dope gives me a cold chill
leave the crack alone, leave the crack alone
i would rather get the legal stuff that they just steal
and be better off from now until
because you see, i know, because i’ve been here
[chorus]
i’ve been this way before
the path is dark and so unsure
filled with warnings, that we all ignore
i got to keep my eyes open
so i don’t miss the door, uh!
you got to keep your eyes open
so you don’t miss the door, dig it!
we got to keep our eyes open
so we don’t miss the door! dig it!
[outro]
taking drugs is defining the stake
taking drugs is defining the stake
i’ve been this way before
the path is dark and so unsure
filled with warnings, that we all ignore
i got to keep my eyes open
so i don’t miss the door, uh!
you got to keep your eyes open
so you don’t miss the door, dig it!
we got to keep our eyes open
so we don’t miss the door! dig it!
uh! ow, ow, ow…
