Been Around the Way
Life's Symphony: Ant Greene's Journey Through Beats and Hustle
Lyrics
I done been around the way
I have experienced various aspects of life and different environments.
Making music hittin plays
I've been involved in creating music and engaging in strategic activities.
Never trippin off the hate
I don't let negativity affect me.
I’m too busy getting paid
My focus is on making money; I'm too occupied to worry about hate.
Put in work made a name
Through hard work, I've established a reputation.
Bout the money not the fame
I prioritize financial success over fame.
I don’t even think the same
My perspective on life has changed.
I’m just staying out the way
I prefer to keep a low profile and avoid unnecessary trouble.
I done been around the way
