Came a Long Way

I just popped two thirties had me gone in 60 seconds
I done lost a couple niggas I just hope they go to heaven
I been out here on my own every since I was 11
Nigga this my testimony you can go and ask the reverend
I made it out the trenches in my hood i'm a legend
Stayed focused on my mission now i'm countin' all my blessings
Real niggas cant deny that's it's a S up on my chest
I put my city on my back and I ain't never take a rest
I'm prayin' on my knees and I just hope you get the message
Cause they pray I don't succeed and they just hope I get arrested
They don't know about the pain and all the days I was neglected
And how the love of my life fell in love with injections
Fuck nigga snitchin' moved away for protection
If I ever catch em' slippin' i'ma hit em' where his neck is
I'm reckless, and i'm everywhere a check is it's a fact we all schemin'
I'm just usin' different methods
Niggas change just like the seasons and it taught me different lessons
They locked my nigga i'm stressin
Fuck, then we just had to bury Kevin now i'm Stuck

I came a long way nigga
I came a long way
(I came a long way)
I made a pathway for my niggas in the hood when it wasn't no way
(When it wasn't no way)
See we came a long way nigga
We came a long way
(I Came)
I kept it real with my niggas from the jump and that ain't never gone change
(That ain't never gonna change)

I woke up out my sleep and i was grippin' on my chest
I felt like i could barely breathe bullets rippin' at my neck
Please don't let em' Nipsey me Lord i don't want to be next
But everytime i have a dream my spirits haunted with death
On my right and on my left i can't seem to make my way out
No more poppin' perkys for the pain to make my way now
I got it out the mud nigga, what they gone say now?
Pullin up with backpacks full this not yay now
This school supplies plus we funded a playground
Everything independent we don't wait for they now
I'm prayin' i can truly make a change before i lay down
I came a long way they put trust in Shardinae now
My city on my back so ain't not way that i can flake the difference is that i got faith
I might bend, but i won't break down

I came a long way nigga
I came a long way
(I came a long way)
I made a pathway for my niggas in the hood when it wasn't no way
(When it wasn't no way)
See we came a long way nigga
We came a long way
(I came)
I kept it real with my niggas from the jump and that ain't never gone change
(That ain't never gonna change)
