The Trip - Jay Prince, Fabienne

Started back in '04

This that thing that make you wan' bounce

All my niggas know what this is

We done come along way but we’re here right now

All my niggas from the east side know

Shouts to my girl from the west side yo

Never really had much but it’s all good though

Saving up a little cash so I can go to these shows

Back in '011 I was listening to Cole

That nigga cold, went to Koko for the first time with a bro

Since then I’ve been thinking man I gotta do shows

Since then I’ve been thinking man I gotta go on, gotta go hard

Tryna tell moms that it’s all good, we gon' get through this though

I’m tryna tell pop, better man up or you better find a new home

Man of the house, I’m the man of the mo’fuckin' hour

Since I can say I got a little more power

Since then I can say I’ve been blessed

Comes with a bit of stress, but it’s all good

I guess it comes with the territory

Story of my life dawg

And for a while I was chillin' with the wrong dons

Probably thinkin' that your boy was on somethin'

Tryna find somethin'

Tryna find soul, tryna find my soul but…

I ain’t the same these days, you ain’t wrong

After the trip

I know the world keeps turnin'

Oh Lord I pray I never stop learnin'

See I took off my shoes and started running in the rain

Found some beauty in that pain

Know I wouldn’t change a thing

When the world keeps turnin'

Oh Lord I pray I never stop learnin'

I just wanted a trip

Look, it’s all good now, all good now

See me reminiscing, nowadays kinda different

How I’m living ain’t the same, say Jay changed

I did it for the best, try to live, maintain

No time for the lames, had to change my lane

Had to pave my way

But the craziest thing, I was a main for the game

Cause the game ain’t the same no more

The pain never went, just more

The grind doesn’t have no laws

It’s time to defy my flaws

Held back to express my soul

They’re back cause I guess they want more

They back cause they want some more

It’s crazy how life works out for a brother from the east side

Life worked out for a brother on the east side of that LDN

And tell your friends this jsut the beginning

I was never finished, young kid chilling

Promise I’ma get it cause it’s all I really got up in the city that I live in

So I figured that I gotta make a difference, said I can’t complain

Cause nowadays niggas all sound the same

Somethin' I ain’t even proud to say, but it’s the truth

I don’t speak it then nobody else will

Nobody else feels nobody else will

Nobody no no no, cause nobody no no no

Said nobody no no no, cause nobody no no knows

And that’s the truth right there

And this is really how I feel right here

I’m livin' in a city where it’s cold out here

And we’re just looking for some hope I swear, aw yeah
