Thinkin´ ´bout them long nights We was sittin´ there dreamin´ under porch lights Never thought we´d make it past the stop signs Comin´ from a city where the young die
Now it ain´t an issue, I fill up them pages Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest" We done come a long way from them porch lights And them stop signs, yeah
Ayy, came a long way from that porch where shit was wicked Remember jumpin´ spot to spot ´cause T-Jones tried to dodge that sentence, huh But shit, I understand ´cause as a man I´m tryna get it I got dropped from school and grabbed the tool ´cause Pops said life was vicious Shit, I was lost but found a plan, picked it up and then I ran
Never knew this route I took would turn me up to feed my fam I thank God like every day ´cause, shit, he helped me find my purpose I was hurtin´ Shit, I went from hearin´ shots to hearin´ fans behind them curtains So I know that it´s workin´ I just stick to the plan and keep the snakes up out my circle ´Cause the ones that say they love you be the first to try and hurt you Dry you out and desert you I really came from the bottom, the top don´t come with no curfews
Long nights
We was sittin´ there dreamin´ under porch lights Never thought we´d make it past the stop signs Comin´ from a city where the young die Now it ain´t an issue, I fill up them pages Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest" We done come a long way from them porch lights And them stop signs, yeah
Right hand on the Bible, I done made it out Now I´m preaching like revival, coming from where I´m from Don´t get caught without it, you might catch a headstone Hustle and survival, that´s the only outcome Right hand on the Bible, I done made it out
Now I´m preaching like revival, coming from where I´m from Don´t get caught without it, you might catch a headstone Hustle and survival, that´s the only outcome

What would I say to her? I probably would say, "Thank you" ´Cause she taught me a lot It´s alright, it´s okay, you know how it feels But overall, man, I just, I hope she happy
