Lyrics
I came a long way from home and i can't turn back not right now
Imma alway do me cain't nobody hold me down X2
Verse 1
i made a move from ma home town pursuin some things
and some might say that i was runnin but im chasin ma dream
givin in ya face lyrics in place of the mainstream
i dont rap about money cars cash n bling
i relate to ma listeners i don't got em imaginin
less im tellin a story like right now and im the protagonist
i got up off that plane and took a look at LA
and i was shook cause ma credit was crooked lookin for somewhere to stay
but like sayin goes god always makes a way me n ma nigga johnfoundaplacebythe end of the day
i gotta job foldin clothes at macys
thinkin this is not forever ma flow cold like AC
wannabes honestly quittin so much so commonly
but what if jordan quit ballin after gettin cut from varsity?
so i will neva stop and im modest but imma prodigy
(to) be a grammy nominee its probably not possibly
i will never pause i'll leave that for apostrophes
keep ma eye on people won't go out like socrateez
I came a long way from home and i can't turn back not right now
Imma alway do me cain't nobody hold me down X2
Verse 2
lost our apartment i livedinna a dodge charger
where most people woulda went home tallie just went harder
people lookin like some scavengers and starin in the passenger
i can hear em laughin pretty soon i wont be amateur
tried not to let the homelessness get unda ma skin
a couple showers at the gym/ and that shit sunk in
so i spent some nights cryin but ryan is just a GIANT
defiant and i ain't dyin so i knew i'd get by it
let you feel how i felt put visions into ya brain
ramen noodles woulda been a step up wit no microwave
but the times have changed/ andiknowthat i'm on ma wayand
and let that be a lesson to you theres always a brighter day
i made a metaphorphasis theres no remorse fa this
cuz everything i went thru then is just a source for this
it never mattered how hard life might get
even then its still different day same shit
I came a long way from home and i can't turn back not right now
Imma alway do me cain't nobody hold me down X4
I came a long way from home and i can't turn back not right now
Imma alway do me cain't nobody hold me down X2
