I just popped two thirties had me gone in 60 seconds
I done lost a couple niggas I just hope they go to heaven
I been out here on my own every since I was 11
Nigga this my testimony you can go and ask the reverend
I made it out the trenches in my hood i'm a legend
Stayed focused on my mission now i'm countin' all my blessings
Real niggas cant deny that's it's a S up on my chest
I put my city on my back and I ain't never take a rest
I'm prayin' on my knees and I just hope you get the message
Cause they pray I don't succeed and they just hope I get arrested
They don't know about the pain and all the days I was neglected
And how the love of my life fell in love with injections
F*ck nigga snitchin' moved away for protection
If I ever catch em' slippin' i'ma hit em' where his neck is
I'm reckless, and i'm everywhere a check is it's a fact we all schemin'
I'm just usin' different methods
Niggas change just like the seasons and it taught me different lessons
They locked my nigga i'm stressin
F*ck, then we just had to bury Kevin now i'm Stuck
I came a long way nigga
I came a long way
(I came a long way)
I made a pathway for my niggas in the hood when it wasn't no way
(When it wasn't no way)
See we came a long way nigga
We came a long way
(I Came)
I kept it real with my niggas from the jump and that ain't never gone change
(That ain't never gonna change)
I woke up out my sleep and i was grippin' on my chest
I felt like i could barely breathe bullets rippin' at my neck
Please don't let em' Nipsey me Lord i don't want to be next
But everytime i have a dream my spirits haunted with death
On my right and on my left i can't seem to make my way out
No more poppin' perkys for the pain to make my way now
I got it out the mud nigga, what they gone say now?
Pullin up with backpacks full this not yay now
This school supplies plus we funded a playground
Everything independent we don't wait for they now
I'm prayin' i can truly make a change before i lay down
I came a long way they put trust in Shardinae now
My city on my back so ain't not way that i can flake the difference is that i got faith
I might bend, but i won't break down
I came a long way nigga
I came a long way
(I came a long way)
I made a pathway for my niggas in the hood when it wasn't no way
(When it wasn't no way)
See we came a long way nigga
We came a long way
(I came)
I kept it real with my niggas from the jump and that ain't never gone change
(That ain't never gonna change)
