Lyrics

I came a long way
Been knew I was crack when I smelt that odor walking in them pissy hallways
Shit I came a long way
No hot water
Gotta boil up a pot and wash up at the sink
We done came a long way
I come from nothing, turned it into something now I'm right back at a nothing
Really came a long way
Oh y'all gone know it, ain't afraid to show it speaking now, no more unspoken
I done came a long way



Why talk money
I know what it's like to lose and gain money
Dirty currency wash it clean, gain money
I done lost a lot just so y'all can gain from me

That's real

Public assistance and food stamps
Yeah, Round tables, drinking with the champs
Yeah, From ramen noodles to scampi shrimp
Yeah, That's been my life giving you a glimpse

I can put a smile on even while I'm hurting
While tryna make some shit shake and I ain't talking twerkin
Had to lift my spirits up been doing soul searching
Keep it to myself not the type to share my burdens

I know that they say cash rules, that rule is broken
I really had to turn styles, and this my token
Push me to my limits thinking big thought provoking
Broker than a joke, I like to laugh but I ain't joking

At all

I came a long way
Been knew I was crack when I smelt that odor walking in them pissy hallways
Shit I came a long way
No hot water
Gotta boil up a pot and wash up at the sink
We done came a long way
I come from nothing, turned it into something now I'm right back at a nothing
Really came a long way
Oh y'all gone know it, ain't afraid to show it speaking now, no more unspoken
I done came a long way


A long way
Use to have to layaway at Conway
For that I wanted money fast, the con way
Until I saw that Jesus walks, no Kanye

Normalizing drinking in our struggles numb the pain
But how when we drink to our success, please explain
Hard liquor for hard times when we up, it's champagne
Maybe it's because we thug it out, that's champ pain

Yeah

I seen a dime way before a dime, yeah
I pick em up I'm never DROPPIN dimes, nah
Pass the rock, my niggas DROPPIN dimes
Not talking cops when we yelling out one timeeeeeee

For the one time
My story headlines
Had to talk about my struggles, put away the head lines
Eating free free on the lunch line, when it was lunch time
Gotta free me up from poverty is what's on my mind

I came a long way
Been knew I was crack when I smelt that odor walking in them pissy hallways
Shit I came a long way
No hot water
Gotta boil up a pot and wash up at the sink
We done came a long way
I come from nothing, turned it into something now I'm right back at a nothing
Really came a long way
Oh y'all gone know it, ain't afraid to show it speaking now, no more unspoken
I done came a long way
