| Feet are tired and the pain shows
 | 
| It’s such a long way to go now, such a long way to go
 | 
| Gotta be strong by myself now, such a long road
 | 
| My soul’s so cold, weak in all my bones
 | 
| But I gotta work hard just to reach my goals
 | 
| Such a long way to go, so many miles left but I’m here now, yeah
 | 
| Yo, yo, please Lord somethin gotta give (dog)
 | 
| They say for every negative, there’s a positive (dog)
 | 
| But I ain’t positive, for every buck deposited (dog)
 | 
| We still in the hood, livin like hostages and never mind colleges
 | 
| School of Hard Knocks scholarship, dealin with politics
 | 
| I would just sell success in the store, if I could bottle it
 | 
| But, I ain’t a millionaire, won’t see me in Forbes son
 | 
| Life is like a (Beach Chair), when you can afford one (oh!)
 | 
| Ruger loaded, just in case the war come
 | 
| Might as well, everything is comin to the forefront
 | 
| Need a clear head just to think
 | 
| And fuck a (Drink N My 2 Step) nigga, I’m two steps from a drink
 | 
| The pressure either bust pipes or it make diamonds
 | 
| No matter how high up the mountain, I stay climbin
 | 
| Freedom I keep chancin (oh)
 | 
| So if I fall like Beyonce, I just get back up and keep dancin
 | 
| (Yo Mouse, talk to 'em)
 | 
| Never been a goal that I couldn’t reach (uh)
 | 
| Never been a lesson I couldn’t teach
 | 
| I done been through the World and back
 | 
| Fuck school, I got all the facts
 | 
| All I do is stand tall (stand tall)
 | 
| When they got my back against the wall
 | 
| When it’s game time, all we do is ball
 | 
| My niggas’ll be here in one call (one call), one call (one call)
 | 
| When shit get heavy, all I do is pick up the phone
 | 
| Ain’t gotta go through nothin alone
 | 
| When shit get heavy, all I do is pick up the phone
 | 
| Ain’t gotta walk through this World alone, if I’m on my own
 | 
| Keep on standin on my own two feet
 | 
| Everytime that I cry, when I sweat, when I bleeeeed
 | 
| See nothin can stop me, no nothin except meeeee
 | 
| Uh, let me talk to 'em real quick, la-look, look
 | 
| I’m chasin after pies With bags under my eyes
 | 
| You lookin at my representative mask, it’s a disguise
 | 
| And I don’t do things like I used to
 | 
| The past is the past (but I’m), I’m presently thinkin about the future
 | 
| Certain niggas bettin I fall
 | 
| I’m speed joggin through the quicksand, I’m jugglin three medicine balls
 | 
| See I’m comin up, used to share a room with two cellmates
 | 
| Now I tower over the Devil but this ain’t «Hell Date»
 | 
| Long way to go, I see my feet gettin blisters
 | 
| I dare 'em talk to me like Mike Richards
 | 
| Or play Don Imus and think it’s cool to disrespect our sisters
 | 
| I guess we got a while 'fore they actually get the picture
 | 
| I think about Virginia Tech, think about Katrina
 | 
| Niggas that caught Sean Bell slippin with the nina
 | 
| A day before the wedding, safety off the weapon
 | 
| Though all these things play in my head, I keep steppin (oh!)
 | 
| That On Top Music!
 | 
| Naw mean?
 | 
| Uh, a uh, uh, Joey
 |
