Been Through The Storm - Busta Rhymes[00:00:00]
Been through the storm[00:00:33]
Through the cold and rain[00:00:33]
Everything's still the same[00:00:36]
Can't control how I feel[00:00:38]
Sometimes it's hard to keep it real[00:00:40]
You see the luxuries in life[00:00:42]
With the fortune and fame[00:00:44]
Like them Cadillacs with sunroofs mayne[00:00:46]
So many ways to make a dollar[00:00:49]
Huh sometimes I think about my father[00:00:50]
You see my poppa was broke[00:00:53]
And my momma was young[00:00:55]
Tryin to blend in with them city folk[00:00:57]
Every day landlord knockin down my do'[00:00:59]
Wonderin where my next blessing is comin from[00:01:02]
My momma and poppa moved to the U S[00:01:04]
As Jamaicans[00:01:06]
Struggled to get visas[00:01:06]
And green cards through immigration[00:01:08]
Though my pop was po' stayed away[00:01:09]
From crime and malice[00:01:11]
Hard living gave him hard hands and callous[00:01:12]
As a young'n peep how much[00:01:14]
They loved each other's space[00:01:16]
His hard hands rubbin against[00:01:16]
The pretty skin of my mother's face[00:01:18]
Dig for treasure 'til his hands[00:01:19]
Looked like hands of a junkie[00:01:21]
So coarse slap a mule and take[00:01:22]
The life from a donkey[00:01:23]
On the other hand mommy was[00:01:25]
The type to work two jobs[00:01:26]
Never enough money that's why[00:01:27]
I got your whole crew robbed[00:01:28]
Got older developed ways of grippin the steel[00:01:30]
Barely home for me to see her[00:01:32]
Or get a good cooked meal[00:01:34]
Seek refuge in the alleged[00:01:35]
Land of the free lookin[00:01:36]
Blendin in with city folk[00:01:38]
Down in Flatbush Brooklyn[00:01:39]
Feel a little of my pain[00:01:40]
Follow and sing to it[00:01:42]
Homey I seen it all if you[00:01:43]
Ain't knowin I been through it[00:01:45]
In other words I[00:01:46]
Been through the storm[00:01:47]
Through the cold and rain[00:01:48]
Everything's still the same[00:01:50]
Can't control how I feel[00:01:52]
Sometimes it's hard to keep it real[00:01:55]
You see the luxuries in life[00:01:57]
With the fortune and fame[00:01:58]
Like them Cadillacs with sunroofs mayne[00:02:00]
So many ways to make a dollar[00:02:03]
Huh sometimes I think about my father[00:02:05]
You see my poppa was broke[00:02:07]
And my momma was young[00:02:09]
Tryin to blend in with them city folk[00:02:11]
Every day landlord knockin down my do'[00:02:13]
Wonderin where my next blessing is comin from[00:02:16]
Got a little older late teens[00:02:18]
Me and my crew would huddle[00:02:19]
On the corner late nights[00:02:21]
Plottin to escape struggle[00:02:22]
Nights got cold and still[00:02:23]
Would hustle in the same place[00:02:24]
In front of Pancho Delis[00:02:26]
Now the freeze up on a nigga face[00:02:27]
1987 Reaganomics ever curious[00:02:29]
To visit other cities[00:02:31]
Out of town kick was serious[00:02:32]
Guayanese jeans bounce[00:02:34]
Put whatever slinger on[00:02:35]
Whatever slinger came back[00:02:37]
Quickly brought me right along[00:02:38]
Nigga ran away from home[00:02:39]
Doin different wild shit just to put[00:02:41]
A pair of Filas on 'Didas on[00:02:43]
Wreck is all for the good gettin into shit[00:02:45]
Like we innocent actin older than should[00:02:47]
Walk around broke in the hood[00:02:50]
Watchin all the rich niggaz[00:02:51]
These younger thugs who try[00:02:53]
To choke and try to get niggaz[00:02:54]
Thinkin 'bout my mom and pop[00:02:56]
While I'm monopolizin[00:02:57]
To hell with just gettin by and economizin[00:02:58]
It's kinda hard bein humble[00:03:01]
In the belly of struggle[00:03:02]
Doin things that probably get you in trouble[00:03:04]
That's why we stay up on the block[00:03:05]
Gettin money while we keepin it safe[00:03:07]
In front of churchgoers keepin the faith[00:03:09]
Mom and pop be worryin for they son[00:03:10]
Despite they struggle and their honest[00:03:13]
Livin look and see just what I become[00:03:14]
A scavenger in brute pursuit to be happy[00:03:16]
Another young'n that's wildin[00:03:18]
I been through the storm[00:03:20]
Through the cold and rain[00:03:25]
Everything's still the same[00:03:34]
Can't control how I feel[00:03:39]
Sometimes it's hard to keep it real[00:03:43]
