Been Bout It
Lil Xan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been bout this shit since '96, about you fuckin' up
Been bout this shit since I was a little man I thought you know
I'd enlist, fuck it I'm tryna rep, I'm tryna go to school
But that didn't work for me so I left, fuck the faculty
Been bout this shit since '96, about you fuckin' up
Been bout this shit since I was a little man I thought you know
I'd enlist, fuck it I'm tryna rep, I'm tryna go to school
But that didn't work for me so I left, fuck the faculty

Take a trip to Zanzibar off the bar, couple bars, cup o' hard, ooh
Couple bitches, give 'em hard, ooh, get me hard like what?
Take a trip to Zanzibar off the bar, couple bars, cup o' hard, ooh
Couple bitches, give 'em hard, ooh, get me hard like what?

Been about my shit I thought you knew
Been about my shit up because I thought know you fuckin' hoe up[?]
Aye, fuck or suck, save her with that uppercut
Fuck my session up

Been bout this shit since '96, about you fuckin' up
Been bout this shit since I was a little man I thought you know
I'd enlist, fuck it I'm tryna rep, I'm tryna go to school
But that didn't work for me so I left, fuck the faculty
Been bout this shit since '96, about you fuckin' up
Been bout this shit since I was a little man I thought you know




I'd enlist, fuck it I'm tryna rep, I'm tryna go to school
But that didn't work for me so I left, fuck the faculty
