Been There Before Songtext
von Romain Virgo

To be somebody was my heart′s desire
So mi never stop send up prayer
I know pain
Probably was the yute with the worst attire
Back inna school a sing pon choir
I know pain
From the day my life began
A nuh likkle bit a tears run
Everybody have dem own story
This one is fi all who wah give up and done (eh-eh)

I've been there before
Whole heap a fight we fight
Woulda need a thousand books fi write
Yeah
I′ve been there before
Everything a-go alright
'Member di darkest part a di night
Is just before daylight, yeah


So mi fight on
Struggles turn me into a man, tell mi weh time gone
Still a try calm a category five storm
A earthquake and fire, but a prayer keep mi light on
Nah no food inna di plate, but we buy corn
'Cah me just nuh feel safe where I born
Mi have the courage inna mi heart mixed with the right Psalm
Mi learn fi flourish inna the dark, mi keep mi mind strong
Yes I can, yes I can
Achieve anything with the right plan
Hard fi move, we like a mountain where I stand
A better life fi my fam (yeah)

I′ve been there before
Whole heap a fight we fight
Woulda need a thousand books fi write
Yeah
I′ve been there before
Everything a-go alright
'Member di darkest part a di night
Is just before daylight

If walls coulda talk and expose mi thoughts
Man, mi nuh know how mi survive
Mi pillow know di weight a di burden me carry in
Every night on my mind
Di only people mi can turn to have it the worst to
Life nuh always fun, but better must come
This one is fi all who wah give up and done (eh-eh)


I′ve been there before
Whole heap a fight we fight
Woulda need a thousand books to write
Yeah
I've been there before
Everything a-go alright
′Member di darkest part a di night
Is just before daylight

And I've been there before
Whole heap a fight we fight
Woulda need a thousand books fi write
Oh, yes
I′ve been there before (yes)
Everything a-go alright
'Member di darkest part a di night is just before daylight
