Never Been
Logic Lyrics

I've been workin' like I've never been
I am working harder than I ever have before

I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in
Even though I struggle every day, I refuse to give up and let negativity control me

And if I knew back then what I know right now What I know right now I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been
If I had the knowledge and experience I have now, I would have achieved greater success in the past and be better than ever before

You ever wonder what it all really means?
Have you ever contemplated the true purpose and meaning of life?

Heart full of dreams, I know I'mma do it, get it by any means
I have many aspirations and I will achieve them by all possible methods

Serving food for the thought like it's rock to the fiends
I am providing valuable insights and ideas to those who crave knowledge

I said this shit for years boy, this life ain't what it seems
I have been speaking the truth for a long time, and life is not always what it appears to be

Sayin' that you can't just solidifies that you never will
If you repeatedly say that you can't do something, you will never accomplish it

Said you would, said you could, but you ain't got the skill
You may have claimed that you could do something, but in reality, you lack the necessary abilities

You gotta climb the highest mountain to master the hill
To achieve success, you must conquer even the most challenging obstacles

You gotta climb over your ego to master your will
In order to gain control over your actions and decisions, you must overcome your own pride

Gave up on your dreams for a suit and a pension
You may have given up on your real aspirations in exchange for a stable job and retirement plan

God damn, I hope you're here for the intervention
I sincerely hope that you will recognize the error in your choices and make a positive change in your life

You say you would if you had the money, don't make me mention
Don't use lack of financial resources as an excuse to not pursue your dreams

That it'll cost you nothin' but time for you to pay attention
You don't need money, only time and attention, in order to achieve your goals

Now don't get me wrong, I know there's people out there hatin' on ya
I understand that there are those who despise you and wish to bring you down

And it feel like your self-esteem is breakin' on ya
Their negativity can cause you to doubt yourself and lower your confidence

All they ever seem to do is hate when you speak
These people continuously criticize and oppose anything you say

They spend seven days preyin' on the weak
Their focus is solely on finding and targeting vulnerabilities in others

I know the world sleepin' on ya like a sedative
The world is ignoring your true potential and talents, leaving you feeling forgotten like a sleeping pill

Talk all you want about me homie, I'mma let it live
You can speak negatively about me all you want, but I won't let it affect me

Hater this, hater that, say I sound repetitive
The haters always have something negative to say about me, even if it's not true

Hatin' in your blood, you was born to be negative
Hate and negativity are deep-seated parts of who you are, fundamental to your personality

This is dedicated to everyone that never made it
This song is in honor of those who did not achieve their dreams

And the people that persevered even though they was hated
I also admire those who overcame hate and negativity to achieve their goals

They had a dream and a vision that they follow like a religion
These successful individuals had a strong sense of purpose and followed their goals with the same passion as a religious doctrine

But on the real the road to success is prone to collision
Despite their unwavering perseverance, the journey to success is often filled with obstacles and setbacks

And every now and then something happens that's unexpected
Occasionally, unforeseeable events occur that hinder success or alter the course of life

Like that newborn in your life because you fuckin' unprotected
For example, an unexpected child is born due to failure to use contraception

And I swear nobody perfect, hell I know I ain't
Nobody is perfect, including myself

Yeah I know this verse is heaven sent but I'm far from a saint
I acknowledge that this song may have a meaningful message, but I am by no means a perfect person

Live a life with no complaints, tryna do just what I can
I strive to live without complaining and do the best that I can in every aspect of my life

Learn from my father's mistakes and become a better man
I recognize the faults of my father and aim to avoid making the same mistakes, improving myself as a result

Now plant a seed and watch 'em grow, teach 'em everything I know
I plan to share my knowledge with a new generation, helping them grow and develop

Show him how to fight his battles and always go toe to toe
I will guide them in standing up for themselves and remaining steadfast in difficult situations

And this I know cause I been high, low, right, wrong
I have experienced the highest highs and lowest lows, making both the right and wrong choices

But I had to do it all just so I could write this song
Every experience, both good and bad, has led me to write this song

I spit knowledge like the listener is my only son
I passionately and honestly share my knowledge and experiences with my audience as if they were my own child

And grip the mic like I'm at war and it's my only gun
When performing, I hold the microphone with intensity and determination, as if I am at war with my own shortcomings, and it is my only weapon

Sometimes this journey to the top can be a lonely one
Striving for success can often feel isolating and solitary

Yeah, and this victory lap a lonely run
Even when I achieve success, it can still feel lonely to celebrate my achievements

While my hometown screamin' you the chosen one
Despite any loneliness, my hometown recognizes my success and declares me the chosen one

Tellin' myself, don't choke, don't be the frozen one
I constantly remind myself not to falter, freeze, or fail under pressure
