I'm a long, long way from home
But you know I stay by my phone
In the T, I'm all alone, yeah-yeah
On the streets, I'm with my bros
Time just passes by
Lately, I've been thinkin' 'bout those times
When I wasn't servin' no weed or white
Yeah-yeah, and now I'm multiplyin'
And I'm gettin' off the curve
It's crazy I'm still supplyin' even though I got greedier, yeah-yeah
We had to skim stones
On phones with monophonic ringtones, can't blame it on the skin tone
I'm just an entrepreneur, told my mother what I wanted for her
I'm outside tryna bring it home
Biggest Smoke, did the launch party at the Hippodrome
'Cause life's a gamble, stop actin' like you didn't know
I remember I used to pray for money
Now I'm prayin' I stay alive 'til my kids are grown
Son of the soil, got my hands dirty
I learned to dance in the rain, got a man sturdy
We lost a couple soldiers, it's been a mad journey
How you gangster online? How you bang 'QWERTY'?
Mum told me, "Manners maketh the man"
Yo, this ain't a rap lyric, these are teachings of the land
I'm lookin' at the puzzle with the pieces in my hand
I'm never givin' up, boy, you know we're stickin' to the plan
And that's true
Feelin' good and livin' better
I'm on the roads in any weather
When I was broke, I had to get up and get my grind
I set up shop, I'm givin' testers
Ten toes or the Vespa
And I'll do the time, that's if I'm ever banged to rights
I'm a long, long way from home
But you know I stay by my phone
In the T, I'm all alone, yeah-yeah
On the streets, I'm with my folks
Time just passes by
