Stages
Jade Novah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you look back on everything
Will it all be worth it
We gone see
Keep on living
You gone feel it
Keep on running
One day you gone stop
Some things are hard to let go of
Somethings you know when you know
Had a lot still I want more
What you do what stand for
Gotta prove tell me what for

I done let some people down
Didn't fight back
Made some choices that were good
And some I want back
Went through shit only to end up running right back
I got issues but we all got issues like that

I been a lover
I been a mother
I been a lot and that's ok
I been a girl
And now I'm a woman
I been abused and I been free
I Been in love
And I been let down and
I done been lost and I been saved
Yeah
I done been lost and I been saved

I been running trying get through these stages
Been through hell and been so high like I'm faded
I had food stamps in my louis vuitton
Felt like a star but couldn't keep the lights on

I been a lover
I been a mother
I been alot and that's ok

I been a girl and
Now I'm a woman
I been abused and I been praised

I Been in love
And I been let down and
I done been lost and I been saved
Yeah
I done been lost and I been saved

I been running trying get through these stages
Been through hell and been so high like I'm faded




I had food stamps in my louis vuitton
Felt like a star but couldn't keep the lights on
