The Long Way |
| Mama told me get it and I did |
| Make a beautiful livin' for my kids |
| Man, I’m really in love with my gig |
| Wasn’t always known I couldn’t take the throne 'till I raced for home and I slid |
| For my labels flown where I lived (KC) |
| But the Yates was growin' in my biz (Yeah) |
| And I couldn’t even afford Reebok’s |
| It was Payless shoes and hole-y socks |
| Then I started to earn G-knots, screamin' F-T-I on TV spots |
| Livin' the lovely life we chose |
| Still I’m livin' it by street codes |
| Pain and poverty put these flows in Beast Mode |
| Here we go |
| The road to my success from here was not a block away |
| On the coast they told me I’ma part with Travis, not today |
| We just wanted what’s hot to play |
| But they gave me no slot to slay |
| Even though I’m not Lecrae, every day Tecca Nina would drop to pray |
| On my knees in a cot |
| There was multiple beds in my spot |
| So let the champagne pop, everybody feelin' my gang-gang lots |
| Took a lot of hard work to get guap, when you comin' from a scarred turf, |
| could be stopped |
| From the hurtful dirt to the top |
| Yeah we gonna celebrate today 'cause we got |
| Let the song play (We got it) |
| 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) |
| They know we get that grown pay (We got it) |
| Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) |
| The long way |
| Too big and too ugly, would you ever love me? |
| Every city we visit, we get it, but people they look at us funny |
| I feel like I’m way too fat, but what I’m packin' is making them kitties get |
| after 'em |
| They hearing me flippin' and rip the back up out the track, then they trackin' |
| a pack of 'em |
| Applause, applause, now we sell it enough to get our house and our cars up |
| Gotta get them bars up to be part of the upper echelon and hit the stars up |
| And we did it (okay) |
| Me and Nina stay committed to our art, we always doin' our part |
| We get it (okay) |
| And we knew we gettin' the cheese or we siezin' our G’s up, Jesus |
| Only breaking from making 'em rock |
| The pushin' manuever been making the block |
| Indusin', I’m cool when I’m oozin' |
| I’m cruisin' the planet, they think I’m faking a lot |
| I gotta get to the money, gotta get to the money, and they think I’m making a |
| lot |
| I’m keepin' a millimeter pilly under the tummy for dummies, if they wanna plot |
| New money, I ain’t trying to save, 'cause I just made it |
| Look at my royalty state, thank God for the ones who gave it |
| Lots of props for the ones who made it |
| 'Cause this road ain’t paved |
| Sippin' till I’m elevated |
| We made it, so we gon' |
| Let the song play (We got it) |
| 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) |
| They know we get that grown pay (We got it) |
| Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) |
| The long way |
| Yeah, we started this Strange Music in Trav’s basement |
| Now we gonna have our fifth Strange building because we had patience |
| And I got all these mass payments with a mad cadence |
| Kill it when I rip it up, I’m makin' 'em listen, not pickin' me up, |
| and I never have a cash craving |
| We appreciate this, so we create hits |
| See me lay this, inebriated |
| And we be faded, indeed we stay lit |
| From the oddest, to people listen, and look at me Godish |
| Not a time for Nina to be modest |
| People celebrate with me 'cause we got it |
| Let the song play (We got it) |
| 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) |
| They know we get that grown pay (We got it) |
| Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) |
| The long way |
