I just heard a song. The lyrics were:
I've been done, I've been moving on…
In conversation, is that correct grammatically?

Best Answer
It's entirely grammatical in any register. You need to put this in context:
Done here is employed as an adjective, not a verb: it means 'finished, over'. The singer is saying he is no longer interested in the relationship (he is 'done' with it) and he has had that attitude for some time: "since we said good goodbye". Since that time he has been "movin' on": turning away from the relationship and pursuing other interests.
