Came a Long Way

[Intro]
Karltin

[Chorus]
I done came a long way
Young nigga out here, I'm runnin’ these streets, when I think, boy
I done came a long way
Down bad, I'd do anything to feast, when I think, boy
I done came a long way
The price right, I'll take a nigga’s life to get right, boy
I done came a long way
I thank God for even giving me life when I think, boy

[Verse 1]
Young nigga mind so corrupt
Sometimes thought 'bout givin' up
Sometimes I ain't really give a fuck
Grab the gun, just buck, buck, buck
All the drugs got me geeked up
Mama said, "Boy, you need to grow up
Every day I pray for you
Son, I wish you would've stayed in school
Did everything I could do, this ain't how I raised you"
And it got me contemplating and thinking I'm hurtin' you
And it hurt more ’cause in my heart I know the truth
But bein’ in these streets, you do what the fuck you got to do
Just got a call from my nigga, he said he got the juice
I'm goin’ all out on this one, I ain't got shit to lose
You might just walk that mile, boy, but not in these shoes
'Cause bad habits got me doin' shit I don’t need to

[Chorus]
I done came a long way
Young nigga out here, I'm runnin' these streets, when I think, boy
I done came a long way
Down bad, I'd do anything to feast, when I think, boy
I done came a long way
The price right, I'll take a nigga's life to get right, boy
I done came a long way
I thank God for even giving me life when I think, boy

[Verse 2]
So far 'head, niggas can't look back
I'm on a whole 'nother journey and mission
Too much drive on a young nigga hustle
That's why I got all this ambition
And I ain't never been afraid to listen
Even if I think you wrong or right
'Cause knowledge is power
But some of these niggas is very sour
And some of these niggas won't change
And some of these bitches won't change
And some of the ways I have is still the same
But I know that He workin' on me
'Cause He blessed me with three
So I'm down on my knees, prayin'
And thank You for another chance
For lessons, and change, amen

[Chorus]
I done came a long way
Young nigga out here, I'm runnin' these streets, when I think, boy
I done came a long way
Down bad, I'd do anything to feast, when I think, boy
I done came a long way
The price right, I'll take a nigga's life to get right, boy
I done came a long way
I thank God for even giving me life when I think, boy
