Always Been Lyrics by Cubie

2015

I said I said I said I've always been, always been

I swear I've always been hustling trying to take care of myself
Always been hustling more than everybody else
I swear I've always been hustling trying to prove it to myself
I've always been, always been

I swear I've always been hustling trying to take care of myself
Always been hustling more than everybody else
I swear I've always been hustling trying to prove it to myself
I've always been, always been yeah

I put in the work and the time
With every verse and each line
I'm grinding the first of the month
I look at it like it's lunch
And lunch means that it's time to eat
So I'm searching for a feast
I always go wild on tracks
I am a dog with no leash
And every verse clean like a shower
I'm just looking for that power
Want money stacked tall as a tower
Never running ain't no coward
I'm working for hours on end
I ain't got time to pretend
I got a good eye for the weak
So fakes got no time to befriend

Look
I've been struggling and hustling
Got to put that weight, got to put that work, got to put that muscle in
So I'm grinding hard and at the top is what I'm trying to reach
Learning from the world but soon it's gonna be my time to teach

I swear I've always been hustling trying to take care of myself
Always been hustling more than everybody else
I swear I've always been hustling trying to prove it to myself
I've always been, always been

I swear I've always been hustling trying to take care of myself
Always been hustling more than everybody else
I swear I've always been hustling trying to prove it to myself
I've always been, always been yeah

In my life I realize things ain't what they seem
Making plans to fix the world
Turning into to broken dreams
Look into the sky and wonder if there's any hope for me
Rapping trying to make a name in hopes that someone notice me
Working hard all day and night I do it for those close to me
One day they gonna raise their glasses up and have a toast to me
Moving on to better things but no-one gets to go for free
Heating up with every line upgrading from these frozen streets

I could've been told the power in adolescence was stressing over-perfection and wasn't seeing progression was second guessing myself and was blinded to all my blessings with ignorance in my mind had no time to ask any questions

I swear I've always been hustling trying to take care of myself
Always been hustling more than everybody else
I swear I've always been hustling trying to prove it to myself
I've always been, always been

I swear I've always been hustling trying to take care of myself
Always been hustling more than everybody else
I swear I've always been hustling trying to prove it to myself
I've always been, always been yeah
