I Been Looking Around Lyrics by T-bone

I Been Looking Around

Growing up we didn't have muchI still remember mom in the welfare linePops on the corner slanging flowers trying to make a dimeHustling hard, working beyond a nine to fivePraying somebody stop but cars just keep passing him byMy older sister ran away and chose a life of crimeMy younger sister getting calls from these older guysI still hear the sound of them sirens running through my mindSaw grandma die in a stretcher before my very eyesAnd who could forget the flames coming outta my roomWit firefighters trying to save everything that ain't ruinedIt's bad enough we barely making ends meetNow we ain't even got a blanket or a place to sleep, manWe all been through struggles and em' harder timesAnd at times it seems like there ain't no peace of mindBut just, when I started to doubt, thinking nobody caresI looked up and found that you was always right thereChorusStill looking for, keep looking forOut searching, nothing working, steady looking forStill waiting for, keep waiting forTrue
love, one love, what we waiting forMoved to Southern Cali and bought me a baller cribWit marble floors, high ceilings and a pool to swimI got a, lot of famous high profile friendsA white Benz laced wit them chrome spinning rimsTop dollar brand fashion and a Jacob watchBracelet wit canaries and em flawless rocksI went from playa hated to Grammy nominatedTo making movies wit Cuba and Beyonce now they say I made itFinally got my music making all the headlinesRadio spinning my single back to back 10 timesBut still it wasn't everything that I thought it beFound me searching for love and life's remedyMoney bought me cars, power and yachtsI'm still distraught, got my stomach tangled in knotsSad and depressed, finally after everything I been throughI found out the only thing that was missing was youWe all pretty much looking for the same thangWe soul searching trying get through life's long mazeI been to mountain tops looking for the most highSo many valleys lows, never thought I'd get
bySo many shattered dreams, all the broken promisesLied to, left for dead, emotional apocalypseWe all looking for the answers of what and whyChoose win or loose in this life we can live or dieAnd never fill that empty space that we feel insideI know ya hurting, see the pain written in ya eyesTried the drugs, tarot cards, and astrologyBlaze up the purple haze, transcend realityTrying leave all of your problems behindAnd some of yall put ya faith a nineI got mine when I, gave up tha lifeSwapped it out for the better oneFinally found true wealth, Never gonna find myself
