Came A Long Way

(앨범: Midlife Crisis - 2023)

Thugga
(Got Damn Samm)
Nigga came a long way, you know what I'm sayin'?
From Lil Slim to Big Slim
Thinking back on that shit

Had it rough when I was growing up
Youngest of seven, so I really wasn't left with much
Mama working, heart hurting 'cause her kids wilding
Coming home to evictions, I ain't never smiling
Can't control her house, shit, we out in the streets
Food stamps, but that ain't the way we tryna eat
Can't depend on her, I'm twelve, but look like a man
So I hustled this and that and got my first grand
Fell in love with the grind and I stopped playing
Got tired of hearing what them haters at school saying
Fuck them Chucks, I need J's and Polos for days
Ever since then, Thugga been getting paid

When I first touched that first rack
It wasn't no going back, man
I knew right then that for the rest of my life
I was gon' get whatever I want whenever I want it
And that's what it is and that's what it been since then
HoggLife, Boss Life, nigga

Twenty years later, still getting paper
And if you don't like me, you gotta be a hater
I put on for my city like I said I would
Went back, built houses in my old hood
Still tryna climb higher, never satisified
Feel like I'm at my best, I ain't never tired
Never lied, never thought I'd make it this far
Wish I knew all of this when I was stealing cars
I was thinking too petty
Got my mind right, my hustle right, and came up steady
You can do the same too
Stay focused, stay out the way, and your day'll come too, fool

Was out in the streets, now we living in suites
You know what I'm sayin'? The come-up
Gotta make sure it ain't no downfall, man
To all y'all out there, chase your dreams, man
Don't let nobody tell you what you can't do
'Cause you looking at living proof
A hater can't stop nothing
Yeah, grown man business, you know what I'm sayin'?
Was a young thug, now I'm a grown boss
