Came a Long Way

Man I'm just pouring out pain on this 1
I give you niggaz pain you don't understand man
Shit still hurt nigga
Yeah its been
It's been a bumpy road man
My nigga I remember running from cops
Getting shot at by niggaz
Be hard not to cry in this both sometimes man

I use to flood da streets wit weed and perks til it's evenly Disperse
Lil niggaz eager to work to put they eagel's to work
Man don't make me hit up yo turf you niggaz sweet as desert
Bitch niggaz you need to skeert (Skirt) wit dem tight Jean's n a purse
I know killers that pray to god but wats even worst
I've sold preachers da work watch'em smoke it then go preach the word
That's why I think religion a fraud you can't convince me t it works
Hell naw cuz I've sat next too demons in church
I'm from the dirt
So if I bugged out you'll die from slug
I got stain on my name I really got it out the mud
Talkin pocket full of dubs
Money is wat these bitches love
Type to hav'em sucking dick soon as they leave da club
I took a couple nick's and turned that into zip
Nigga after a couple flips I was running da strip
They locked up my cousin in 04 and he got shipped in 06
Now I can only talk to him on da phone n see him through pics
He told me hold down remember we on a mission
He taught me bout this game now it's time to play my position
How to keep the pounds hidden
Keep the scale the kitchen
Round town niggaz snitching
So keep these clowns out business
Never mention what you made the 1 starving gone hate
The 1 hungry see you eating you gone start reaching for yo plate
Put the extra cake in the safe separate from the weight
And yo hustle straight til you doubling what you paid

Yea I came long way
From hustling out hallways
Stand on the block all day
Yea I came long way
Reminiscing about the old days
I'm jus happy to make it home safe
Yea I came long way
From hustling out hallways
Stand on the block all day
Yea I came long way
Reminiscing about the old days
I'm jus happy to make it home safe

Came from nothing but broken hearts a lot of pain suffering
Where I'm from you only get 1 shot gotta aim for something
Seen my momma struggling so took the weight off her shoulders and started hustling
Jus me and my cousin crying over money while splitting onions
You know how many nights I watch colors die over white
Gambling like its dice and end up paying da price
This really my life you niggaz could'nt fit in my nike's
I was pitching instant grams before they did it for likes
I earned my stripes from the block wit a knife n glock
See you either had to be cut throat or nice wit shot
Da only balling I knew was how I brought everything I got
Wasn't into sports if I was in court or was across from a cop
Nigga check the persona if I want ya then you a gonna
Went from cutting corners to putting niggaz on em
Mike and Noddy right beside me every place I go
Feel they ghost when I'm getting high I can see they faces smoke
Know how much game I just gave without yall a fee
Can't see the value in what I say cuz now days talk is cheap
Stood alone 10 toes on my own 2 feet
Could've retired at 23 like M.J I'm out yo league
Watch how you speak cuz I'll tweak blame it on my cousin Nique
First time I seen a body I was paranoid for weeks
I got Secret's buried deep that like to surface in my sleep
Waking up in cold sweats wit a hand full of heat

Yea I came long way
From hustling out hallways
Stand on da block all day
Yea I came long way
Reminiscing about the old days
I'm jus happy to make it home safe
Yea I came long way
From hustling out hallways
Stand on da block all day
Yea I came long way
Reminiscing about the old days
I'm jus happy to make it home safe
Yea I came long way
