Lyrics
[Chorus]
All I know it's been a long time coming
Test my faith, but I can't run from it
Drown my sorrows, but I swim up from it
Pay dues, blood, sweat and tears
[Verse 1]
See, I was born by the river
Had to dig out the mud
Had to drop out to get it
Saw the tears from my mama
Hope my father praying for me
Told my brother I'ma do it
Told my sister that I'm sorry
But I gotta make a move
[Verse 2]
Just a kid with the dream from the Northside
Winter nights in the car, sleeping outside
Had to turn nightmares into better days
Had to go our separate ways
Had to make my rainy days confetti when we celebrate
[Chorus]
'Cause all I know it's been a long time coming
Test my faith, but I can't run from it
Drown my sorrows, but I swam up from it
Pay dues blood, sweat and tears
[Verse 3]
I put that on my soul
My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul
I put that on my soul
Lord knows won't bend, won't break, won't fold
Oh, no
[Verse 4]
614
Ridin' dirty, sittin' low (Real ****)
Never fold
Hittin' roads from Broad Street to Karl Road
Till I'm gone, no, ooh
614
Shotgun (Bad bitch), centerfold (Ride with me)
Switching lanes, never switching codes
When you on this side, drop the low
I was out the way (Out the way)
I was on the move
Bending corners, bussin' moves
Northern lights, dark roads, still a long way from a lost soul
Still that rose that grew from the concrete
To Leveque Tower suites from the projects
Been a long, long way, but we got here
Down the slide from my day ones
No, ooh
[Verse 5]
614
Ridin dirty, (Ridin' dirty), sittin' low
Never fold (Never fold)
Hittin' roads from Broad Street to Karl Road
Till I'm gone, no, ooh
614
Shotgun (Bad bitch), centerfold (Ride with me)
Switchin' lanes, never switching codes
When you on this side, drop the low
[Outro]
614
Ridin dirty, sittin' low
Never fold
Hittin' roads from Broad Street to Karl Road
Till I'm gone
