Different Route (feat. Kottyn)

Y'all come a long way from what we used to be
Y'all can feel me on this
Wild youth, wild Teen, spent some time at the YD
Came a long way from being posted at BP

Came a long way from you ain't fucking with me, G
Had to become a mugshot, but they ain't see me
It's been a long road and it tore up my soul
I'm really gonna feel the scars whenever I'm old

I'ma have to dance with karma for the shit that I stole
And answer ' for the vendettas, I could never let go
Some I can, some I won't, some I will not
Had to learn to do it right, I had to twist the plot

Had to be my own man, had to earn my spot
Now it's hand over hand, I'm climbin' to the top
You would have to be me just to see how I feel
But you would never make it out, and I'm just keepin' it real

And I'm never goin' back, as a matter of fact
Too damn hard to get my life on track
Wild youth, wild Teen, spent some time at the YD
Came a long way from being posted at BP

Came a long way from you ain't fucking with me, G
Had to become a mugshot, but they ain't see me
It's been a long road and it tore up my soul
I'm really gonna feel the scars whenever I'm old

I'ma have to dance with karma for the shit that I stole
And answer' for the vendettas, I could never let go
At 13, most kids tryna get they rocks off
At 13, I was on the block gettin' these rocks off

Cop copped a 9 and the sawed off
Ready to let it pop off, if anything popped off
Movin' pounds of pills, U-Hauls with major deals
A ton of guns, no Superman, I was the man of steel

But when I had my kids, that shit just changed me mentally
They can work hard and earn anything that they'd ever need
That fast money sure look nice, but damn the hate that it brings
Gotta show em' that there's a different route for everything

Wild youth, wild teen, spent some time at the YD
Came a long way from being posted at BP
Came a long way from you ain't fucking with me, G
Had to become a mugshot, but they ain't see me

It's been a long road and it tore up my soul
I'm really gonna feel the scars whenever I'm old
I'ma have to dance with karma for the shit that I stole
And answer ' for the vendettas, I could never let go
