Has Been

I live on the simple principle

That hard work'll get you ahead

Climb each hill until you reach the top

Don't ever let yourself be misled

So I always put in the time (hey)

I played until my fingers bled

So why am I falling behind

While the world's moving ahead

I've been having trouble

Getting my head off the pillow

And I've been stuck in the rubble

Tryna' build this kingdom

Is there a reason I'm still on the floor?

Why all of my work ain't working anymore?

Can someone be born a has been?

Cause I think that's where I'm at

Stuck replaying and chasing

Things that've yet to pass

And I've been running

In circles

Watching others pass me by

Must've been born a has been

Must've been born a has been (oh)

Is this some sort of sick joke?

Are there cameras hidden somewhere?

Must be on The Truman Show

You got me pulling out my hair

Cuz everybody that I know

Says I'm gonna make it somewhere

Yet no one can fathom

The first step in getting there (woah)

I've been having trouble

Getting my head off the pillow

And I've been stuck in the rubble

Tryna' build this kingdom

Is there a reason I'm still on the floor?

Why all of my work ain't working anymore?

Can someone be born a has been?

Cause I think that's where I'm at

Stuck replaying and chasing

Things that've yet to pass

And I've been running

In circles

Watching others pass me by

Must've been born a has been

Must've been born a has been (oh)

Well I'm done

Running till my feet are sore

And I'm done

Wallowing in this pain

I wanna to live in the sun

I can't take this weight any more

That I drag around

Can someone be born a has been?

Cause I think that's where I'm at

Stuck replaying and chasing

Things that've yet to pass

And I've been running

In circles

I'm running

In circles

Stuck running

In circles

Has been

Cause I think that's where I'm at

Stuck replaying and chasing

Things that've yet to pass

And I've been running

In circles

Watching others pass me by

Has been

Must've been born a has been (oh)

Has been
