Laid down crying? First loved life, then wish you was dying? Been so fed up, you gave up tryin' (uh) Kept it straight up, but niggas kept lying? Have you ever seen something that you wanted so bad Then got it and wished it was something you never had? Have you ever been so lost and thought you wouldn't make it? Have you ever been forced into something and couldn't take it? Have you ever felt so strong for so long And when it came down to it, turned out to be so wrong? Don't beat yourself up like "where did I go wrong?" Just get back up, pray on it and go on Have you ever been up? (Up) Ever been down? (Down) Ever been lost (lost) then came around?

Have you ever wanted to go right, but then chose left? Deep down wanted life, but always chose death? Burned in the night, but in the day showed strength? But regardless of what you think, I'm going a-left Have you ever wished upon a star that really wasn't there Or gave someone your heart that really didn't care? Found out at the wrong time that life wasn't fair And all you could do was take it like "yeah" Have you ever found out that the shit you was in was really deep too? 'Cause your man is tryin' to cheap you Knock your block off, put your ass in the sleeper? Used to be my dog, now he's the grim reaper Have you ever been up? (Up) Ever been down?

(Up) Ever been down? (Down) Ever been lost (lost) then came around? (Around) Ever been through it (through it), then came out of it? (Out of it) Never had it (had it) then got a lot of it? Have you ever seen something that you didn't want to see? Or had to be something that you didn't want to be? Or had to kill a nigga that look just like me? Wanted to believe, but had to trust lightly? Have you ever been up? (Up) Ever been down? (Down) Ever been lost (lost) then came around?
