Logic - Never Been Lyrics






I've been workin' like I've never been
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
What I know right now
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been

You ever wonder what it all really means?
Heart full of dreams, I know I'mma do it, get it by any means
Serving food for the thought like it's rock to the fiends
I said this shit for years boy, this life ain't what it seems
Sayin' that you can't just solidifies that you never will
Said you would, said you could, but you ain't got the skill
You gotta climb the highest mountain to master the hill
You gotta climb over your ego to master your will
Gave up on your dreams for a suit and a pension
God damn, I hope you're here for the intervention
You say you would if you had the money, don't make me mention
That it'll cost you nothin' but time for you to pay attention
Now don't get me wrong
I know there's people out there hatin' on ya
And it feel like your self-esteem is breakin' on ya
All they ever seem to do is hate when you speak
They spend seven days preyin' on the weak
I know the world sleepin' on ya like a sedative
Talk all you want about me homie, I'mma let it live
Hater this, hater that, say I sound repetitive
Hatin' in your blood, you was born to be negative

Never been
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
What I know right now
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been

This is dedicated to everyone that never made it
And the people that persevered even though they was hated
They had a dream and a vision that they follow like a religion
But on the real the road to success is prone to collision
And every now and then something happens that's unexpected
Like that newborn in your life because you fuckin' unprotected
And I swear nobody perfect, hell I know I ain't
Yeah I know this verse is heaven sent but I'm far from a saint
Live a life with no complaints, tryna do just what I can
Learn from my father's mistakes and become a better man
Now plant a seed and watch 'em grow, teach 'em everything I know
Show him how to fight his battles and always go toe to toe
And this I know cause I been high, low, right, wrong
But I had to do it all just so I could write this song
I spit knowledge like the listener is my only son
And grip the mic like I'm at war and it's my only gun
Sometimes this journey to the top can be a lonely one
Yeah, and this victory lap a lonely run
While my hometown screamin' you the chosen one
Tellin' myself, don't choke, don't be the frozen one

I've been workin' like I've never been
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in
And if I knew back then what I know right now
What I know right you
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been
[x3]

Um, you like that take? I like it
You sure [?], or...
I think it's good, hey Bobby run it!

Logic Never Been Comments
  1. V.... C....

    One of those rare songs that you can relate to every single word.

  2. c.... ....

    Listening to this song now I’ve realized how much of everybody stemmed from this song. You can hear it with the subtle piano, the lyrics relating to religion, the violin, and the choir near the end.

  3. S.... I....

    One of his best tracks ever.

  4. T.... R....

    Listen to Logic and playing pool...good times man

  5. C.... A....

    Wow this song never blew up 😓

  6. A.... J....

    Pretty sure this track just saved my life. Thank you for everything. 💜

  7. C.... C....

    This stay getting me through my bad days

  8. A.... S....

    After fleeing living situation to living situation, I ended up finding myself in Rockville, Maryland. By complete accident I was in the place I was born, for the very first time as an adult. So, i'm staring out a hotel window when I hear Take It Back for the first time - little did I know the lyrics would talk about where he was born, & 15 mins from the hotel I was staying at.. was Shady Grove Hospital.. the same hospital I was born at! Even crazier, I later made an appointment with a doctor, whose office (unknowingly to me) happened to be at that very hospital. For the first time in 25 yrs - I was at my place of birth. Thank you Logic, for getting me through the roughest shit i've been through & still are.
    Full circle.

  9. t.... s....

    The Don's anthem for Wolf

  10. J.... C....

    They spend seven days praying on a week...ok Logic

  11. N.... 1....

    "Hatin in your blood you was born to B negative"

  12. J.... A....

    This song made me cry for the first time in months of suppressing all my emotions.
    As soon as the verse started I felt like he was genuinely talking directly to me, and this is the first time I've ever cried to a song. Also I should be doing my homework right now

  13. B.... M....

    November 2019 and I still find myself here

  14. K.... ....

    This Song is 10 outta 10 Logic the Goat!👍👍

  15. S.... H....

    This song is 100% relatable to me.




    What do you think??

  16. M.... K....

    this song was horrible after 4:07

  17. D.... T....

    This song makes me want to work on my credit score

  18. A.... T....

    Best sound out 😁

    A.... T....

    Allen Triplet no

  19. J.... B....

    "You say you would if you had the money, don't make me mention
    That it'll cost you nothin' but time for you to pay attention"

    Like...I get the meaning behind this song but this line is bullshit. There's a motto saying that it takes money to make money and that's the facts. If it didn't cost nothing but time, then college would be free. This line always bothered me everytime I hear it.

    J.... B....

    Blacktop_Shady no it’s not idiot

  20. A.... I....

    The real ones sing the beat lol

  21. E.... H....

    Did You Know that DJ Mustard Prod. This & it's A Sample of Ty Dolla $ign Love You Better 💯💯 (I'm pretty sure Cause this Song Pops Up under DJ Mustard Songs on Genius)

  22. B.... V....

    Love it

  24. Z.... t....

    Man this song is amazing this project was really good

  25. B.... T....

    Writers tears.

  26. M.... D....

  38. G.... m....

    This song is what logic needs to go back to. He needs to be more deep. And stop being repetitive. And stop reusing bars.

  39. G.... Q....
