Songtexte Been a While - Dillan Miller

Yeah, been a while, been a minute (been a what? been a what?)
But I'm hoping to get in it (yeah, yeah)
In a dance, and a groove (in a what? in a what?)
Like how I make your body move (ay, ay)
Love your hand on my thigh (why? why?)
Cause it's feeling so smooth (ah ah)
I'm not even leaving soon (no way)
Yeah I think you love me too (yuh yuh yuh)

When you look at me and smile (uh huh)
That's my favorite mood (right)
I find it kinda scary
That, this is my debut (right)
I'd just like to take a minute back and
Quickly catch a view (what)
The work I do for me
But it's all that I pursue (yeah yeah)

If they see my pants they ask
How much did it cost him (uh huh, uh huh)
A lot of words spoken but no one's really talking (nope)
Fallen in a haze I guess we all have that in common (amen)
Please step back, and do proceed with caution (yeah)

I never show my hate you confuse it with exhaustion
My bother's far away yeah he moved up to East Boston
I gotta call him up, I don't wanna be forgotten (yeah)
Take him to the park, yeah Forest Hills, Austin (yeah)

Hometown like a salad, get ready to be tossed in (yeah)
So many streets that we could both get lost in (okay)
Take you to my favorite spot
That we should all get crossed in (god damn)
If you really want something you gotta dig your claws in (yuh, ay)
I just made a huge deposit (hold on)
You could call this rap but I prefer to call it a sonnet (I do)
Record a couple hits and do it all from my closet (yeah, yeah)
Split it 3 ways barely making any profit
(yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah-)

You know, sometimes
When you haven't seen a person in a long time?
You look at them
And you can't recognize them anymore

Yeah, been a while, been a minute (been a what? been a what?)
But I'm hoping to get in it (yeah, yeah)
In a dance, and a groove (in a what? in a what?)
Like how I make your body move (ay, ay)
Love your hand on my thigh (why? why?)
Cause it's feeling so smooth (ah ah)
I'm not even leaving soon (no way)
Yeah I think you love me too (yuh yuh yuh)

When you look at me and smile (uh huh)
That's my favorite mood (right)
I find it kinda scary
That, this is my debut (right)
I'd just like to take a minute back and
Quickly catch a view (what)
The work I do for me
But it's all that I pursue (yeah yeah)

Made a little money, but I keep it in my pocket (uh huh)
Getting looks at me like I'm the next prophet (right)
I always think back to the good times in August
Finally delivering on everything I promised (yeah)

Sometimes I get up, I don't wanna be modest
Sometimes I think that I could be the hottest
But a big ass ego isn't good for an artist
When you take it home you get packaged like a product

Keeping it authentic, truthful, and honest (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't have a big head, I don't need to wear a bonnet
I'm writing a new verse and the bars are the hardest
Hard like stone, I could fuck around with garnet

Don't have a dream car, I just need it to be scarlet
Finally focused on the power that I've harnessed
Gotta tell the truth, I wanna be the largest
So when I take it home they respect me as an artist
