Listen
Too many people thought I would never get far
And never supported the show (Dang)
And one of my teachers pulled me out of my class
To tell me my grades were low (Wow)
I never do good when people all in my lil' personal space
Invadin' it though (Haha)
That's when I knew that I had to get out and go get it
'Cause they weren't gon' do it no more (Ah, ah, ah)
Took off jet fast, now I'm on they tails
Don't tell 'em that school is out (But)
But all my partners with me, stayed out the city
And showed 'em a different lil' route (Real)
"Ain't got a problem with sinnin', I love me some Jesus"
Yeah, that came out of my mouth
Now let 'em country girls and outlaws
Come straight out of the South (Eh, eh, eh, eh)
(Yeah, I done came a long way)
Let me take you back and show you where I'm from (Uh, uh, where I'm from)
(I done came a long way)
Was down bad and they told me I was done (Yeah, yeah, yeah, see, I was done)
(I done came a long way)
Now I'm hardly home and always on the run (Yeah, yeah, on the run)
(I can say I came a long way)
And I can say that it was hard for me (Yeah, for me)
Let me take you back and show you where I'm from (Uh, uh, where I'm from)
(I done came a long way)
Was down bad and they told me I was done (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was done)
(I done came a long way)
Now I'm hardly home and always on the run (Yeah, yeah, on the run)
(I can say I came a long way)
And I can say that it was hard for me
Yeah
The hooligans, new again, flowin' in, movin' souls
Need no Xans, need no 'Grams, only IG when I roll
I just post up with the dawgs, change your life wit' a bop
What I'm on so LeBron, He still the King, do my flops
Ayy, K to the second, the rapper, the reverend
This rapper's a weapon of God
Ayy, man wit' a message, you want a request
And I pull up like grippin' the balls
Ayy, KB and Lathan, don't get it mistaken
The fame that we gain is a walk
Ayy, we give our glory to God
But our story all for you and put it in song, boy
(Yeah, I done came a long way)
Let me take you back and show you where I'm from (Uh, uh, where I'm from)
(I done came a long way)
Was down bad and they told me I was done (Yeah, yeah, yeah, see, I was done)
(I done came a long way)
Now I'm hardly home and always on the run (Yeah, yeah, on the run)
(I can say I came a long way)
And I can say that it was hard for me (Yeah, for me)
Let me take you back and show you where I'm from (Uh, uh, where I'm from)
(I done came a long way)
Was down bad and they told me I was done (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was done)
(I done came a long way)
Now I'm hardly home and always on the run (Yeah, yeah, on the run)
(I can say I came a long way)
And I can say that it was hard for me
(Yeah, I done came a long way) Uh, uh
(I done came a long way) Yeah, yeah
(I done came a long way) Hah, hah
(I can say I came a long way) No, no, no, it was hard for me
Ha, ha, ha, no (I done came a long way)
No, eh, eh, no (I done came a long way)
No, eh, eh, no
I can say I came a long way, a long way
