Where I've Been (我在哪里) (Album Version) - Mary J. Blige (玛丽·布莱姬)/Eve[00:00:00]
To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands[00:00:01]
Well I understand that[00:00:08]
It's been hard for me[00:00:11]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:00:13]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:00:16]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:00:18]
It's been hard for me[00:00:22]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:00:24]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:00:26]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:00:29]
I grew up as a 70's baby[00:00:32]
Brought up in poverty and sin[00:00:35]
Makin' jokes at the crazy lady[00:00:37]
Never cared how she was dealin' within[00:00:40]
I knew all the words to[00:00:43]
Micheal Jackson's album as a kid[00:00:44]
And when it came to the biggest crusher[00:00:48]
No he wasn't my man[00:00:51]
At the age of seven years old[00:00:54]
A strange thing happened to me[00:00:56]
Before I even saw[00:00:59]
My life had flashed before me[00:01:02]
And I've got the mark to show[00:01:04]
And it became a thang of beauty[00:01:07]
So I gotta let you know[00:01:10]
That my life, that my life[00:01:12]
It's been hard for me[00:01:16]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:01:17]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:01:20]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:01:23]
It's been hard for me[00:01:26]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:01:28]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:01:31]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:01:33]
It's been hard for me[00:01:37]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:01:39]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:01:42]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:01:44]
Now mama's workin' hard all day[00:01:47]
And she said this before she left home[00:01:50]
Take care of your little brother[00:01:53]
Have the place cleaned when I get home[00:01:55]
All these priorities[00:01:58]
Me and Tanya had to learn to be grown[00:02:00]
But at the time for me[00:02:03]
Being grown had seemed so lone[00:02:05]
Woke up and I'm seventeen[00:02:09]
With nothing going for me[00:02:11]
Except the fact that I sing[00:02:14]
You know it hurts so much[00:02:17]
From all the sights that I've seen[00:02:20]
From abusin' the hole in trust[00:02:22]
You probably couldn't take some of things[00:02:25]
That I've lived in my life[00:02:28]
It's been hard for me[00:02:31]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:02:33]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:02:35]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:02:38]
It's been hard for me[00:02:41]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:02:43]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:02:46]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:02:49]
It's been hard for me[00:02:53]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:02:54]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:02:57]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:02:59]
It's hard and the street's a jungle I'm telling you, I'm telling you[00:03:02]
Especially with your pretty colors I'm telling you, I'm telling you[00:03:07]
So stay low and keep it humble I'm telling you, I'm telling you[00:03:12]
Black women hold it down, keep your feet on the ground[00:03:18]
Black men keep searching and you'll be found[00:03:21]
It's been hard for me[00:03:24]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:03:26]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:03:29]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:03:32]
It's been hard for me[00:03:35]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:03:37]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:03:40]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:03:42]
In this world of continuous b******t and full clips[00:03:45]
Seems all we have to pass down is being useless[00:03:48]
Broken homes, babies all alone, parent's never there[00:03:51]
No food, no clothes to wear, anger everywhere[00:03:53]
Ain't no values being taught, no productive thoughts[00:03:56]
Jealousy rules the world, take sh*t at any cost[00:03:59]
Gotta change our state of life, make it worth livin'[00:04:02]
God gave us voices to speak and that's our way of givin'[00:04:04]
It's so much bigger than the furs and the jewels[00:04:07]
What about encouragin' the youth to do well[00:04:09]
What about givin' back- what about unifying[00:04:12]
Sh*t we all black- get it together[00:04:15]
Everybody's got their trials and tribulations[00:04:18]
Learn to change the negative to positive situations[00:04:20]
Don't hold the lessons that you learn[00:04:24]
Pass it on and except the blessings that could earn[00:04:25]
It's been hard for me[00:04:29]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:04:31]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:04:33]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:04:36]
It's been hard for me[00:04:40]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:04:41]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:04:44]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:04:47]
It's been hard for me[00:04:50]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:04:52]
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at[00:04:55]
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at[00:04:58]
It's been hard for me[00:05:01]
Trying strugglin' in the streets[00:05:03]
