Came a Long Way

Chicago, how's it going Appreciate it I just want to share with y'all the road that I've been on I came a long way Let's take a walk for a minute Countdown before I hit the stage, on top of that it's Christmas day I never seen so many people gathered around to Hear me say What's on my mind? So many songs I haven't reached the prime They say I teach the minds to be free without the Hypnotize I remember I was just a skinny little dude Walking around imagining I was Bruce Lee in Gym Shoes Lightning at the heel, LA gear forgot what year But back then I had some fears, now I'm grown, I Aint a kid Went from skinny to the Hulk, dropping tracks by The bulk Went from pennies to that vault, I'm packing a Mac in the back of the truck So I'm pussing this bitch up, by all means, shit is Mandatory I declare war, then I won, that's the end of Story Where are my warriors? Stopping bullets, you cocky, pull it Only releasing on cock blockers who try but Couldn't match it On that swag shit nope, that swag shit is fag shit They begging and don'ts, bumping 50% of plastic I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way The crowd in one motion, I'm proud I'm not Boasting My silence shoots cold and it rushes to jail frozen It's like I love the way things are going If I could take it back to a time, I couldn't rewind It happens for a reason, my faith keeps increasing I'm still trying to figure out if his real name is Jesus I got a lot on my plate, so let me eat a little slower Chew on my food, too hot, I cool it with Composure Truth be told, I was scared to face the public I used to have stage fright, blinded by every light I'm timing how I rhyme and now I'm confident on the mic The providence, the garnishments, jewelry that shine in ice Materials, when I was young, that impressed me Now it's so upsetting can't believe how it Obsessed me We went from Bondages chains whips we Hung from trees, Now we bonded by chains whips and Blowing trees I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way Applause from the audiences, you're on my monitor with this As hard as it's hard to teach my daughter this shit Now I can live in harmony with an F-bomb Now I can live in harmony with the essence of democracy God's prophet standing to live with official Policies I went from playing video games to a nigga who Lame That same nigga, who you now honor his name The free mind's father, the birth of the unexplained Teaching wisdom to the children in prisons of slave reign The louder I speak, problems will peak. I don't acknowledge the beef I kill a pig to kill a cow, kill any MC, it's that easy You say I'm cocky, I'm conceited, now beat it Before you get treated, believe me I came a long way, this road wasn't easy, homie Through fake clicks and fake homies, I needed money Got on my own and ever since I've been balling Mail stacked gotta stay strapped when I hear Em Calling I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way I came a long way
