[00:00.00]Where I've Been - Mary J. Blige (玛丽·布莱姬)/Eve
[00:01.82]To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands
[00:08.96]Well I understand that
[00:11.55]It's been hard for me
[00:13.47]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[00:16.12]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[00:18.76]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[00:22.35]It's been hard for me
[00:24.27]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[00:26.91]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[00:29.60]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[00:32.47]I grew up as a 70's baby
[00:35.12]Brought up in poverty and sin
[00:37.98]Makin' jokes at the crazy lady
[00:40.45]Never cared how she was dealin' within
[00:43.20]I knew all the words to
[00:44.88]Micheal Jackson's album as a kid
[00:48.62]And when it came to the biggest crusher
[00:51.09]No he wasn't my man
[00:54.26]At the age of seven years old
[00:56.82]A strange thing happened to me
[00:59.40]Before I even saw
[01:02.18]My life had flashed before me
[01:04.89]And I've got the mark to show
[01:07.44]And it became a thang of beauty
[01:10.22]So I gotta let you know
[01:12.92]That my life, that my life
[01:16.04]It's been hard for me
[01:17.98]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[01:20.50]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[01:23.24]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[01:26.74]It's been hard for me
[01:28.69]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[01:31.32]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[01:33.97]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[01:37.70]It's been hard for me
[01:39.44]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[01:42.13]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[01:44.77]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[01:47.66]Now mama's workin' hard all day
[01:50.05]And she said this before she left home
[01:53.15]Take care of your little brother
[01:55.25]Have the place cleaned when I get home
[01:58.64]All these priorities
[02:00.79]Me and Tanya had to learn to be grown
[02:03.92]But at the time for me
[02:05.95]Being grown had seemed so lone
[02:09.34]Woke up and I'm seventeen
[02:11.94]With nothing going for me
[02:14.64]Except the fact that I sing
[02:17.27]You know it hurts so much
[02:20.02]From all the sights that I've seen
[02:22.66]From abusin' the hole in trust
[02:25.33]You probably couldn't take some of things
[02:28.14]That I've lived in my life
[02:31.35]It's been hard for me
[02:33.23]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[02:35.52]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[02:38.44]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[02:41.79]It's been hard for me
[02:43.85]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[02:46.40]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[02:49.17]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[02:53.02]It's been hard for me
[02:54.61]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[02:57.29]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[02:59.93]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[03:02.36]It's hard and the street's a jungle I'm telling you, I'm telling you
[03:07.72]Especially with your pretty colors I'm telling you, I'm telling you
[03:12.93]So stay low and keep it humble I'm telling you, I'm telling you
[03:18.38]Black women hold it down, keep your feet on the ground
[03:21.21]Black men keep searching and you'll be found
[03:24.99]It's been hard for me
[03:26.81]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[03:29.43]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[03:32.11]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[03:35.64]It's been hard for me
[03:37.50]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[03:40.14]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[03:42.81]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[03:45.43]In this world of continuous b******t and full clips
[03:48.34]Seems all we have to pass down is being useless
[03:51.23]Broken homes, babies all alone, parent's never there
[03:53.81]No food, no clothes to wear, anger everywhere
[03:56.65]Ain't no values being taught, no productive thoughts
[03:59.38]Jealousy rules the world, take sh*t at any cost
[04:02.13]Gotta change our state of life, make it worth livin'
[04:04.58]God gave us voices to speak and that's our way of givin'
[04:07.37]It's so much bigger than the furs and the jewels
[04:09.71]What about encouragin' the youth to do well
[04:12.40]What about givin' back- what about unifying
[04:15.51]Sh*t we all black- get it together
[04:18.05]Everybody's got their trials and tribulations
[04:20.49]Learn to change the negative to positive situations
[04:24.06]Don't hold the lessons that you learn
[04:25.85]Pass it on and except the blessings that could earn
[04:29.46]It's been hard for me
[04:31.20]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[04:33.92]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[04:36.59]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[04:40.05]It's been hard for me
[04:41.87]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[04:44.54]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[04:47.25]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[04:50.78]It's been hard for me
[04:52.63]Trying strugglin' in the streets
[04:55.31]But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
[04:58.03]And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
[05:01.51]It's been hard for me
[05:03.48]Trying strugglin' in the streets
