I Been That (feat. Emiway Bantai)

de Dax

My name is Dax
You ready?
I crossed seas to check the temperature
Found myself in India
Hollywood to Bollywood with bars from Nigeria
Pause
Inspected the criteria
Realised the foreign ties are great
If not superior
I been that, fuck that shit
Dax is going global
I ain't never been the type to say I told you
But I told you, ya, I told you
That I would graduate from local
And evolve into CEO millionaire mogul
Took time, crossed T's, dotted I's, realised
Real eyes recognised real guy
Stop wasting time
Took a flight overseas
Got to work and started building foreign ties
Yeah, nigga, I been that
Studious at best, I wasn't first inside my class
But I was first to get ahead
Told my teacher I was dropping out of Math
'Cause I didn't need no dumb equation
Just to teach me how to calculate success
Algebraically though, I been a factor
Multiplied my capacity from slave into master
Multiplied my capacity from poet into rapper
Stopped asking niggas questions
Started giving niggas answers
That's the truth
This is calculated murder when I step inside the booth
Premeditated murder when I'm serving niggas truth
This is elevated thinkin' how I educate the youth
Tellin' niggas read a book instead of sitting in a school
Yeah, I been that
The prerequisite, adjective
Synonym, verb, predicate, bachelorette
Had to talk to God ten times
Before I mastered it, licensed it
Trademarked, fucked around and patent it
I been that
Ah, yeah, nigga, I been that
Swear to God on God, motherfuck, yeah
Yeah, you know I been that
Huh, yeah, nigga, I been that
It's Dax
