long way

I had to do it myself
Member you took me for granted left me on the shelf
I ain't need nobody's help
They said it'd be hard but it's only hard
For the nigga who thought it was hard for himself
So now I'm a boss I do what I want
Don't care bout opinions won't get them across
Lately been up, was down for too long

Been grinding had to get the money the long way
9 to 5, Lord knows it ain't far away
Till I'm gripping them stars
I keep singing these bars
Tryna flood the wrist down with a new Audemars
Lord knows I been doing it my way
No, no, no leeches in my space
Yeah, I want it all no feelings involved
I'll be damned if I go out the wrong way

My momma said keep on believing
Cause you got the voice they been needin
So I'm going hard every season
Tryna better myself
Ion need no more reasons
Back then I was down
I'm just tryna get even
Know the throne gone be mine
But the haters stay creeping
See me up on the rise
Caught em all by surprise
Want a slice of the pie
But don't bring shit to the table
Had to come up by myself
Sat down wit the gang
Told em fuck that we ain't waiting on a label
Rather do it solo with my guys
Real trust no disguise
It's crazy they really thought we wasn't able
Know a couple niggas that been moving
Real funny
Even though I stayed solid
They been acting ungrateful
Hope they tune in
To see what i'm becoming
Cause real shit they won't even have to
Pay for the cable

I'm just saying my nigga
I ain't playing my nigga
Said I'm done kicking back being cool
I got too much shit going on in my life
To be sitting here worried bout you
Titi needa brand new crib and brand new whip
And momma still stuck in the island
Never catch me lacking but you'll always catch me styling
Getting to the green
While these other niggas childish

Worried bout who's up next
Don't break ya neck
No need to sweat
I'm making checks
You know the rest
Put them to the test
No need to guess
They don't impress
Till i step and I make a mess
We been doing more
But saying less
I thank God
Cause lately I been feeling blessed
We been doing more
But saying less
I thank God
Cause lately I been feeling blessed

But I'm still getting money the long way
9 to 5, Lord knows it ain't far away
Till I'm gripping them stars
I keep singing these bars
Tryna flood the wrist down with a new Audemars
Lord knows I been doing it my way
No, no, no leeches in my space
Yeah, I want it all no feelings involved
I'll be damned if I go out the wrong way
