Long Journey

Look, look

Rollin' up back to back, got that smoke in my lungs
Young nigga on the block with his hand on his gun
One up top, 'cause they prepared where I'm from
Let your nuts drop, you can't be scared where I'm from

Fast-forward, grandma, pray for your baby (pray for your baby)
Mama, look at your son, I finally made it
That rap shit you hated, takin' me places
My life been so crazy, just a lil' teenager

I never thought that I could take it from out of my hood
I know they thought I was crazy, just misunderstood (misunderstood)
I swear I love goin' on tour, the feelin' is good
If I could wrap my arms around this memory, man, I would

'Cause when I'm fresh off the road, my heart start breakin'
I don't know where to go, young, rich, lost, and famous
I'm in love with miss lady, but I just can't take it
Every day, I been prayin' I become more patient

And I know the sayin', more money, more problems, nah
More money, more people with their money problems lookin' for you to solve 'em
But I thank God for the dough, tell 'em fifty for a show
I'm a-chasing 'til I'm hatin', but God watchin'
Gotta stay prayed up, my God got me
Life ain't easy, but every day, it's a blessing
This life that I'm living, sometimes it's wild and hectic (yes, it is)
It's hectic, but

Dear God, I thank You for (I thank You)
Everything You gave to us, uh
You kept them devils away from us, uh
And You finally made a way for us, so I say
