Where I've Been Lyrics

If mi fi list out everything mi go through in a mi life yuh woulda shocked

And mi lef all a dem shitty situation deh a better person than I was going into it enuh

Dat a strength enuh fam

Man of steel

But no, yuh see, it nuh all dat great because mi nah exercise self-love

Di way mi really supposed to bredda

Personal growth and development important to mi because me know

A me alone a go inna di grave when mi dead

A no mi and mi career, me and money, or me and other people

So ultimately, who you are is what really counts, and the life you've lived

My biggest green flag is dat mi always work pan miself

Dat nuh mean mi nuh mek mistakes enuh

It just mean seh mi tek pride in learning from my mistakes

And mi nuh give miself enough credit fi dat dawg

I guess you wonder where I've been

I searched to find a love within

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you, and I can't let go

Nuh gi miself enough credit so why mi expect fi get props?

Dat a mi problem, so mi promise a yah so it stop

Di way mi grow, mi tink certain traits mi woulda adapt

Instead mi do di opposite a dat

Mi deeven talk bout it a lot

Next ting yuh hear dem seh mi just a brag

Hear seh mi cocky and show off, true dem nuh know mi glad

Mi used to gah mi bed a bawl, di way mi used to sad

Dem nuh know di struggle, but a just di grace a God

Depression used to beat mi bad, when mi bredda neva a beat mi

Grew up not feeling loved, mi used to people a mistreat mi

Mi grandparents get killed by smady dem a try fi help

So how mi grow up waah fi save people weh need di help?

The fixer in relationships, healing everyone else

Mi only waah fi be di best version a miself

Cause who and how you are alone matter in a di end

Nuh care who doe accept mi, all mi care bout a being miself

It so important to mi dat mi be miself

As long as mi alright bredda, as long as mi happy

Cause mi can literally drop out at any time enuh man

Time is a gift

So mi primary focus a mi happiness and mi definitely waah leave an impact

Mi just hope di big man continue fi bless mi so dat mi can help others yzm

I guess you wonder where I've been

I searched to find a love within

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you, and I can't let go

I guess you've wondered where I've been

I've been here searching and I finally found love within

I came to let you know that solitude will always win

I made peace with myself and I'm content with everything

That doesn't mean that I won't still mess up from time to time

Still learning and growing, still have to forgive myself sometimes

Too focused on the top that I forget about the climb

Now before I give up, I redirect and realign

Cause mah come from a place weh, jah know, can show yuh betta dan mi coulda tell yuh

Humble miself, nuh watch nuh face, mi nuh care fi impress yuh

Di trauma, di abuse, etc., nah guh reach mi kids

Mi grateful fi mi parents but wah dem lack, mi ago give

Show up emotionally, not just physically

Break generational curses, treat mi children dem equally

I'm betting on me now, I deserve all the best love

I love me naked, and don't think I mean when I'm not dressed up
