Lyrics There Was a Time - Dounia

You don't know my story
But you still tried to judge me
Just do not discuss me
Fucked with you once now
You disgust me

They don't know half
Of what I surpassed
Love it all 'cause I'm here
I could never take it back

There was a time where
I passed out in the crib
There was a time where I
Lost count of the drinks
Had a mask, hoping that it would fill me up
It was clouded where the real me was
But I found it
There was a time
Where I dead lost all my friends
Couldn't be real when I ain't know who I am
There was a time
I ain't even talk to my fam
Cooped up in my own place
Cyphing like 3 whole j's
'Til I'm feeling okay

It's different now The intent has changed
Roll up to explore
Not numb
The art was there though
That's been the same
Give me booth, give me beat
Going dumb

I tried to keep it real with you
You ain't gave me the chance
I thought you were going thru it
Not going thru bitches, damn
I give credit where it's due but
You sounded more like the fan
Turns out you were more concerned about having the
Upper hand
Thought I saw potential
Then I saw zero hope
'Cause I can't even imagine the level of ego stroke
That got you to that place
Way you behaved, tasteless
Baby watch your language
Wrong bitch you played with

It's different now
The intent has changed
Roll up to explore
Not numb
The art was there tho
That's been the same
Give me booth, give me beat
Going dumb
I thought you needed a me
Like I once
Needed a me

Looking back, its delusion at it's finest
They can laugh fuck it winning, I stay thriving
Find me a bad dounia track, yeah I dare you
Sure I'm the crazy one, I'm whyling out, I hear you
Speak on it all 'cause I'm not pussy, I'm not scared to
They always end on my line mad sentimental

Did you even see me for me
Or was it just some ass
Couldn't have imagined
Shorties be so trash
Well I love me for me so
So you cannot attack
Heart so pure, i just act as
Mirror, looking glass

Baby you so shallow
Showing you your shadow
Baby you so shallow

There was a time where
I passed out in the crib
There was a time where I
Lost count of the drinks
Had a mask, hoping that it would fill me up
It was clouded where the real me was
But I found it
There was a time
Where I dead lost all my friends
Couldn't be real when I ain't know who I am
There was a time
I ain't even talk to my fam
Cooped up in my own place
Cyphing like 3 whole j's
'Til I'm feeling okay
It's different now
The intent has changed
Took a year, settled down, got grounded
All my focus priorities rearranged
Now with love and real shorties I'm surrounded
