[Intro: T.I.]
(Hitmaka)
Yeah
Came a long way to make it here
Gotta thank God that I made it here
[Chorus: T.I.]
Have a good time, the hard times show up
Money comin' fast, hope it never slow up
I done came a long way to make it here
Gotta thank God that I made it here
Respected by every hood, nigga, throw up
Stood solid, never let niggas ho us
I done came a long way to make it here
Gotta thank God that I made it here
[Verse 1: T.I.]
Show your credentials, who you akin to? (That's it)
Boy, who you done beat up? What you done been through? (Uh-huh)
Hit you on your records, you soundin' very high (Uh-huh)
But what you done did the nigga can verify (Uh)
No corroboration, ain't no conversation
Just a bunch of a cap mixed with a lot of hatin'
Went from hand to hand at the serving station
To makin' a hundred-and-fifty grand just off day trainin'
And man, we know you ain't did the shit you said there
Where I come from, you end up a dead man
Playin' 'round, where a nigga die for stayin' down
The neighborhood we can't build it faster than they tear it down
Black man fire, and homie, I hear sirens
White police firin', homie, and they silent
Then they expect me not to be violent, it's a lose-lose
Tryna unlearn what I been taught since elementary school, damn
