Drumline movie - Been Away lyrics
rate meSong by Q ''The Kid'' featuring Jermaine Dupri<br /><br>
[INTRO]<br>
Its been a long time comin'<br>
I'm here now<br>
Nobody can stop that<br>
<br>
[Verse 1)<br>
I've been travelin' long distances.<br>
I'm the meanin' of what persistance is.<br>
Music is the only thing I really love<br>
Since I was a kid and its the only thing i'm gonna love forever.<br>
I've been through the hard times and bad weathers;<br>
Long days an long nights tryin to get my career together. <br>
With school was my first goal bump these bras,<br>
I was blessed with the talent that can get me real far.<br>
In time and trust me i'm nice mine<br>
and i'm sick with an instrument listen to the drumline.<br>
And all i got is mo' fied come alot o' cats nice but i'm live-er than them.<br>
And these A.T.L. streets is what im tryin to rise up from by any means just to get that dream.<br>
It was hard but i did it graduated to the big screen now i'm on tour and the kid got bigger dreams.<br>
<br>
[CHORUS]<br>
(I hate to have been away too long)<br>
I'm just tryin to chase my dreams <br>
(did i leave your mind when i was gone)<br>
I hope not cuz i'm still here<br>
<br>
(I hate to have been away too long)<br>
I'm just tryin to chase my dreams <br>
(did i leave your mind when i was gone)<br>
I hope not...<br>
<br>
[Verse 2]<br>
Now i'm in a new state new division.<br>
New town new place i'm on a new mission: the good life livin'.<br>
Things unchanged new deal new aim<br>
two new four fists benz and arranged.<br>
I came along way from sittin' on a block<br>
from bustin up the shots to the # 1 slots.<br>
But look i'm a grind through it<br>
and i can make anything happen as long as i put my mind to it.<br>
I love music, yeah i'm real nice with them sticks.<br>
No class, no tutors; i was born with this gift.<br>
And theres only a few, one or two i could name,<br>
and cuz i'm hot dudes wanna ask me off the game.<br>
But i'm a keep strivin'<br>
and hussle all the way from the bottom to the top<br>
and surprize'um.<br>
And i could show you cuz it don't hurt to try.<br>
Stay focused and you'd better get by.<br>
(sing wit me ya'll) <br>
<br>
[CHORUS]<br>
<br>
I came a long way and look where I made it<br>
and nothing you do or say can stop me cuz this what im here for.<br>
And hot pieces is all give for, you could never "not" me,<br>
What i'm sheddin' tears for?<br>
It was rough but i made it at last<br>
top dog major ahead of my class.<br>
Now, <br>
Jermaine, who they wanna get along with.<br>
Its Q they wannna sing the song wit.<br>
<br>
[CHORUS] (faded until end)<br>
<br>
