Been Through It All Songtext

von Machine Gun Kelly

This song is for everyone out there
Who's ever made it through the hard times
For everyone who's ever had to struggle
For what they wanted in life
This song is for everyone
Who had to sit through the dark days
Before they saw the light
For everyone who's been through it all

I been through it all
Crazy, because I never thought I'd say that
The cost to be the boss
Never thought I'd pay that
Headed to the top
Without the friends I had since way back
Near death experiences
Watching my life play back
Damn, and I have never sold a brick
But I can show you where to get it
And I can show you how to flip
My whole life has been a hustle
Since momma bounced on her kid
I am never scared of drama
I was born up in the shit
Cause it was once upon a time, muh fucker
We were fine and I was just a little snobby motherfucker
Then it changed, now these people wanna rob me muh fucker
New enviroment, now pops is like 'Get a job muh fucker', yeah
So I did that, wasn't with that so I quit that
Told them my about my dreams and they laughed
But I spit that fire, couldn't deny it
So to quiet that with chip yeah
Shut it up and still I won't forget that
Man fuck y'all
And I won't put that behind me
Even though I left the past
And I'm still the kid now
Even though I left the class
I'm on it and it took everything
From A to Z to do it
So anything I'm talking
I've been through it
I've been through it all

Had to hustle just to make it through the struggles
But I still won't let that get me down
Threw my bills into music
So the world can hear me all around
Every town and
Every city
Every state and every country
I can say that I made it
Cause in my heart I'm the greatest
Because I been through it all

Look, in April I was born
At 14 I was a felon
By 18, I had been to more funerals than a Reverend
And right when I felt like I'd give it up
Look what they sent me
My beautiful baby girl straight outta heaven
And I love you girl
And even though that was never part of the plan
And people doubted it because of who I am
I hope they understand
That at 19 with the world in my hands
I stepped up and handled that shit like a man
I've been homeless I've been broke
Done every drug except for coke
I done fought for my life
I've been jumped, shot at, and more
I've been rich and I've been poor
Had to steal from the store
On nights there wasn't shit to eat
Seen my best friends go down
So what the fuck could you possibly say to me
The verdict is I'm the truth
And you can thank today's jury
But if you wanna judge, come walk a mile in my chucks
But the world sucks, better Lace Up, uhhgk

Had to hustle just to make it through the struggles
But I still won't let that get me down
Threw my bills into music
So the world can hear me all around
Every town and
Every city
Every state and every country
I can say that I made it
Cause in my heart I'm the greatest
Because I been through it all

Okay, I've been made out be a monster
But the only thing aggressive about me
Is the will I have to conquer
I told them I was the best
They doubted, but no longer
Out of all the starving artists
They could hear my hunger
And if that's wrong then I don't wanna be right
I'm always dreaming so I'm gone in the night
And now it's reality I'm calling home like I'll be gone on this flight
But how can I contact a place that doesn't exist in my life
Home, I guess that I'll just be alone for the ride
And live vicariously through another's eyes
Add it on to the list of lies
So my girl doesn't trust me for shit
Probably cause after my momma left
I ain't trusted a chick
Shit and my father drowning his problems with the bottle
While I'm playing I can see tomorrow
Cause cancer ain't a joke
And I just lost one of my best friends to the pen
So I don't wanna live again
I been through it

Had to hustle just to make it through the struggles
But I still won't let that get me down
Threw my bills into music
So the world can hear me all around
Every town and
Every city
Every state and every country
I can say that I made it
Cause in my heart I'm the greatest
Because I been through it all

And if you ever have a dream
Don't be scared to chase that shit man
You can have whatever you want in this life
Don't let anyone tell you different
And shoutout to my fans for helping me achieve my dreams
