Tech Nina, lets get it Mama told me get it and I did Make a beautiful livin' for my kids Man, I'm really in love with my gig Wasn't always known I couldn't take the throne 'till I raced for home and I slid For my labels flown where I lived But the Yates was growin' in my biz And I couldn't even afford Reebok's It was Payless shoes and holy socks Then I started to earn G-knots, screamin' F-T-I on TV spots Livin' the lovely life we chose Still I'm livin' it by street codes Pain and poverty put these flows in Beast Mode Here we go The road to my success from here was not a block away On the coast they told me I'ma part with Travis, not today We just wanted what's hot to play But they gave me no slot to slay Even though I'm not Lecrae, every day Tecca Nina would drop to pray On my knees in a cot There was multiple beds in my spot So let the champagne pop, everybody feelin' my gang, gang lots Took a lot of hard work to get guap, when you comin' from a scarred turf, could be stopped From the hurtful dirt to the top Yeah we gonna celebrate today cause we got Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way Too big and too ugly, would you ever love me?
