Been a While Lyrics by KLY

Keep Love Young

2018

[Verse 1]
First things first
I know I don't say how I feel
What makes things worse, girl, I'm never 'round to see you
My Insta story's crazy, I'm wildin' out on Twitter
Got that text from you sayin' "Babe, you need to chill out"
You can find me at the traphouse with my niggas on the daily
Smoking up that good shit, tryna calm my nerves
When I don't pick up the phone I'm working, that's for certain
Tryna make a movie when I pull up with the boys
And shit is crazy at the crib
Yeah, I ain't really talk about it
You hate it when I hold back, you know that's how I function
I ain't sayin' that shit is right but babe, I ain't about it
Yes I fuck with you but, I don't trust nobody
Nah I don't trust nobody babe
No, I don't trust nobody baby
Say, I don't trust nobody baby

[Chorus]
I found myself in these situ-ations that keep leadin' me to you
Yeah, it's been a while (Been a while)
Yeah, it's been a while (Yeah)
People mention your name, askin' how you doin'
I don't know cause girl
Yeah, it's been a while
Yeah, it's been a while, girl
Yeah, it's been a while
Yeah, it's been a while, girl, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
The heart wants what it wants and I understand
But you can't relate if you ain't felt the pain (No you can't)
You won't understand, why I am not the same (No)
You quick to say I switched but you're the one to blame
The liquor went from numbin' me to killin' me
It's hard to chill with you now cause the energy is different
The love is gone, I can tell by how you look at me
Funny cause it changed with you, truth be told I know my business
Yeah, I'm focused on the business
I only got three wishes:
Make my mama proud
Get this money
Fuck these bitches (Fuck 'em)
That's something I can live with
That's something I can live with
(Yeah, that's something I can live with, that's something I can live with)

[Chorus]
I found myself in these situ-ations that keep leadin' me to you
Yeah, it's been a while
Yeah, it's been a while
People mention your name, askin' how you doin'
I don't know cause girl
Yeah, it's been a while
Yeah, it's been a while, girl
Yeah, it's been a while
Yeah, it's been a while, girl, oh-oh
