Things I’ve Been Through Jadakiss

[Intro]
Uh huh. I just wanna thank y'all for takin' the time to listen
(Ah-ha)
I appreciate that

[Verse 1]
Yo, from regular TV to cable; from bouncin' label to label
Just tryna get the horse out of the stable
Was once part of a dynasty, at least I was tryna be
Think it was the time in my life when I was findin' me
Sittin' in the spot with the dimes
Willin' to do anything just to be a Bad Boy at the time (That's right)
Then I rolled the dices, nah the money didn't add up
But just that whole experience, it was priceless
No free rides to the bank, on top of that
Was the untimely demise of Frank (B.I.)
Then the 'No Way Out' tour, we was smoking outdoor
Made 80 stacks off Cee-lo, that's without tour
Videotaped it all, I still watch it now
Travel the world, learned how to rock a crowd
It ain't much but it beats poor
Things that I've been through is all I can speak for

[Chorus: Luther Vandross sample]
I can only speak for
The things that I've been through
I can only speak for
The things that I've been through
