I Been Away Lyrics by JBdaPilot

These Are Dark Times

2018

[Intro: JBdaPilot]
I been away
Aw yeah, I been away
I been away, yeah

[Verse 1: JBdaPilot]
I'm tryna ball but dawg they wanna see me fade away
Foot in the game im saying I’m just tryna make a play
Check on my momma the doctors are claiming she day to day
And that’s got me quiet my diet is oxy and gatorade
Ain’t much to say today
I went away for a minute, I been away for a while
Heaven knows every day I stay sinning
Nights I would pray for a smile
Just to wake up and pray for the money..
I’m just tryna make it out
In the city where niggas hate to love you
Still I'm tryna make 'em proud, tryna make it count
I don't wanna talk about it, please, don’t make me talk about it
Struggle to find my faith, cause I’m feeling lost without it
So I'ma just hide my face, I don’t need nobody 'round me
Do I have what it takes? Somehow I start to doubt it
All my thoughts is cloudy
I want the hundreds to come in abundance
(I want the hundreds to come in abundance)
It’s either that or we walk up and tell you run it
Been so money hungry for dollars it’s hurting my stomach
Who’s in my reflection? Who’s that I’m becoming baby?
Look what I’m becoming

[Hook: JBdaPilot]
Dont wanna talk I ain’t got much to say
I’m dying slow I’m living day to day
When did it change? I know I’m not the same
I’m not myself lately, I’m not myself
I been away (aww yeah) I been away (aww yeah)
Aww I been away (aww yeah)
Cause I’m not myself lately, I need some help lately
I been away

[Verse 2: JBdaPilot]
I’m not myself lately, I might need some help lately
I swear I been going through it through it through it
I might just be going crazy
I see this niggas on, I guess it should phase me
Ain't none of 'em hot as Rome
I ain't much to say but now I gotta say it look
I been working too hard, 3 jobs, I been doing graveyard
No, I been going way hard
Advil and wayfares got me feeling like Ray Charles
No days off, adding up my pay stubs
Tryna get these bills paid up, that's the trade off
When you tryna make it overnight but you can’t quit your day job
And I’m tryna kidnap rap never give it back
Nigga it’s a wrap on track, I deliver crack
Put us on the map, I ain't lookin back
Tryna ball in the same state Hov used to dribble at
V-to-the-izz-A, it's all on my shoulders
All on my own yeah it’s all of my onus
For me and all of my homies, all of the fam
I'm murdering all my opponents

[Hook: JBdaPilot]
Dont wanna talk I ain’t got much to say
I’m dying slow I’m living day to day
When did it change? I know I’m not the same
I’m not myself lately, I’m not myself
I been away (aww yeah) I been away (aww yeah)
Aww I been away (aww yeah)
Cause I’m not myself lately, I need some help lately
I been away
