Have you been there, been there
|
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chains
|
Have you been there, been there
|
Left behind, locked behind them, behind them bars deh
|
I take dem abuse and gun shot and scars deh
|
but mi nuh care whe dem want say
|
Me ignite, shine bright like one of dem stars deh
|
A this a whe them cant say, in a the height of the hunger, the heat of the
|
battle mi run way
|
no man nuh want fi fail
|
the big bad world wi got to face it, tell u the truth sometimes mi scared
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chain
|
Have you been there, been there
|

|

|

|

|

|

|

|

|
we so defeated on laws as we cling onto courage
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
|
Have you been there, been there

The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chains
|

Have you been there, been there
|
The hunger, the pressure, the pain, the hate
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The fall, the rise, the tears I’ve cried
|
Have you been there, been there
|
The murder, the hussle, the bondage, the chain
|
Have you been there, been there. |
