U Shoulda Been There Lyrics by Nascent, Saba

DON’T GROW UP TOO SOON

2024

[Intro]
Mm
Yeah
[Verse]
You should've been there, but I took a photo for you, don't trip
I went on the tear, 'cause they know it's truth that come off the lip
Yeah, ayy, I'm baggin' the dates, ha-ha-ha
Yeah, they wanna know how my life's been, well
Frightenin', contracts with white men and friends dyin'
And models askin' me where I live
Me yellin' out loud and everyone silent
Show me love with your whole chest, don't say it quiet
I'm on DND in the day time
These days I been tryna bring peace inside my life
That shit like rocket science
Told myself that I didn't fail, it just wasn't proper timin'
I was silently rebuildin', now it's in alignment
They couldn't find him, but-
You should've been there, I took a photo for you, don't trip
I went on the tear, like you in Denim and it didn't fit
Ayy, question, who baggin' like this? Ayy, yeah
You wanna know how the game is? Ever changin'
Niggas who famous take your flows and they don't even change 'em
Yet they'll claim it, like it's there's and they the ones who made it
It's really crazy, I could've helped you write it, if you paid me
Say "You sound like him", what a coincidence
Bitch, I'm really him, that's like ten percent
Right like the recipient of all of the love I didn't get
Those fallin' short try and keep up appearances
I was like a sous-chef in the stu' searing shit, yeah
You should've been there, but I took a photo for you, don't trip
Advice from the winners, you lookin' at pictures of championships
Ayy, yeah, that's sick, ayy
