Came a Long Way
Lyrics
Check how I’m scrapin’ the plate
I keep my family straight
I carry all of the weight
I severed all of the hate
Vow that I’d never go broke
Even if dreams deflate
Knowing that karma awaits
I’m out here dodging the date
This for love of the game
This for the love of my gang
Treat all my brothers the same
Only a couple remain
I made it further than most
Doing the things that they won’t
All for the butter and toast
Nights on Colombian coast
Flights with my lady to France
Might take a day out in Rome
You leave success up to chance
We out here setting the tone
I’d probably pose for the Gram
Give them day in my shoes
But y’all couldn’t sport what I wear
I made it look cool to be cool
I like avoiding a feud
Im not the one to pursue
I keep a couple of goons
Who living with nothing to lose
Spending my days on the fly
Cuz none of us promised tonight
So i’d rather reach for my goals
Than dying without having tried
Came a long way
They just tryna take it from me
I’m out here putting in work
Grind from the first to the first
Switching the gear in reverse
Watch how the tires go skrr
I never fold when I’m stressed
Came a long way from the jects’
Dermody Rd was the set
Kept us a load in the sweats
We had to hustle for Jay’s
We had that muscle for days
Stood on that corner with caine
Payin in full like they Kane
Aint No Half Steppin my man
Come in correct with it man
We out providing a wave
You only riding the wave
This aint the life that I choose
All of this here was exposed
I had to learn on my own
Trappin was all we had known
Daily its taking a toll
Making a youngin feel old
Gave me the shit that I own
Im doing good and it shows
Been bout my business
Not with the b******
Hate or respect it
Run through my check list
Makin connections here for collection
Forward direction
Peep how im flexing
All for the essence
All this projected
Came back in sections
Skip all the questions
Came a long way
They just tryna take it from me
Check how I’m scrapin’ the plate
I keep my family straight
I carry all of the weight
I severed all of the hate
Vow that I’d never go broke
Even if dreams deflate
Knowing that karma awaits
I’m out here dodging the date
This for love of the game
This for the love of my gang
Treat all my brothers the same
Only a couple remain
I made it further than most
Doing the things that they won’t
All for the butter and toast
Nights on Colombian coast
Flights with my lady to France
Might take a day out in Rome
You leave success up to chance
We out here setting the tone
I’d probably pose for the Gram
Give them day in my shoes
But y’all couldn’t sport what I wear
I made it look cool to be cool
I like avoiding a feud
Im not the one to pursue
I keep a couple of goons
Who living with nothing to lose
Spending my days on the fly
Cuz none of us promised tonight
So i’d rather reach for my goals
