[Verse 1:]
Spent two racks on my footwear
Should have seen my face when me and Kiss first shook hands
I came a long way, I use to push grains right out the Ford van
The wouldn't see me unless having a talk with Jordan
And I'm not sure if God got plans, just hope he changes my life for the better
You know I always have the Rose Royce fetish
I got tired of grabbing work, thinking of ways to stretch it
But a 9- 5 will not give me the keys to a Lexus, you heard me
I was broke sleeping on studio couches
Had thoughts of running in n***as houses
Had thoughts of moving back to Temple Road with Cloth backing up houses
But I came a long way no need to take the hard way
Finna make it wrong with my sister, I needed more space
We had [?] every night because we couldn't afford stake
Couldn't afford lawyers, PD ain't do much for us
So court day just wish we was all straight, motherf**ers
[Chorus:]
Never said the road would be easy, but I don't believe God brought me this far to leave me
I never said the road would be easy, I don't believe, God brought me this far to leave me
And I can't give up now, and I won't give up now [x2]
[Verse 2:]
I use to wonder what the hell was like
Thought I never be sh** in life
Cruising in Beverly Hills, smoking I did it twice
Matter of fact, did it more than the adventist preacher where the water at
I use to watch the Jamie Foxx show
Now I'm at Jamie Foxx house recording and n***a I'm moving up
Got my bags LAX waiting for the Hover to come
Just to think my teachers in high school said I was dumb
Christmas times we ain't got no presents made us numb, so young
Not eve, with us, ain't give a f** who you are
If you bleed, I bleed, I climb, I reach
Different goals I achieved, different clothes off the racks
I got hoes on their knees
Strate to daddies for my weed
Gas station for the [?]
I'm motivating my hood
I came a long way from that basement recording with Ruck
Still putting money on books
I'm on sunset outside the waffle house smoking kush drinking toss n***a
[Chorus]
