The Long Way

Tech N9ne 、Krizz Kaliko -The Long Way

Tech Nina lets get it

Mama told me get it and I did

Make a beautiful living 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 where I lived

But the Yates was growing 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

screaming F-T-I on TV spots

Living the lovely life we chose

Still I'm living 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 feeling my gang gang lots

Took a lot of hard work to get guap

when you coming 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

Every city we visit we get it

but people they look at us funny

I feel like I'm way too fat

but what I'm packing is making

them kitties get after em

They hearing me flipping

and rip the back up out the track

then they tracking a pack of em

Applause applause

now we sell it enough to

get our house and our cars up

Gotta get them bars up to

be part of the upper echelon

and hit the stars up

And we did it

Me and Nina stay

committed to our art

we always doing our part

We get it

And we knew we getting the cheese

or we siezing our G's up Jesus

Only breaking from making em rock

The pushing manuever

been making the block

Indusin I'm cool when I'm oozing

I'm cruising the planet

they think I'm faking a lot

I gotta get to the money

gotta get to the money

and they think I'm making a lot

I'm keeping a millimeter pilly

under the tummy for dummies

if they wanna plot

New money I ain't trying

to save cause I just made it

Look at my royalty state

thank God for the ones who gave it

Lots of props for the ones

who made it

Cause this road ain't paved

Sipping till I'm elevated

We made it so we gong

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

Yeah we started this Strange

Music in Trav's basement

Now we gonna have our fifth

Strange building because

we had patience

And I got all these mass

payments with a mad cadence

Kill it when I rip it up

I'm making em listen

not picking me up

and I never have a cash craving

We appreciate this so

we create hits

See me lay this inebriated

And we be faded indeed

we stay lit

From the oddest to people listen

and look at me Godish

Not a time for Nina to be modest

People celebrate with me

cause we got it

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
