Lyrics
Like you're hopeless that you asking first
It was so many times
One day we'll have a better life
And we won't have to sacrifice
(BongoByTheWay), oh
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
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 prayin' for me
Told my brother, "I'ma do it"
Told my sister that I'm sorry
But I gotta make a move
Just a kid with a 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 'cause
All I know, it's been a long time comin'
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
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 (yeah)
Oh, no
(Bongo)
6-1-4, ridin' dirty
Sittin' low (real -), never fold
Hittin' roads from Broad Street to Karl Road
'Til I'm gone, oh-ooh
6-1-4, shotgun (bad -)
Centerfold (ride with me)
Switchin' lanes, never switchin' codes
When you on this side drop the lo'
I was out the way (out the way)
I was on the move (move, yeah)
Bendin' corners, yeah, bussin' moves (bussin')
Northern lights, dark roads
Still a long way from a lost soul
Still that rose that grew from the concrete (grew)
To Leveque Tower suites from the projects (ooh)
Been a long, long way, but we got here (we got here)
Down to slide for my day ones (no, ooh, whoa)
6-1-4, ridin' dirty (ridin' dirty)
Sittin' low (yeah), never fold (never fold)
Hittin' roads from Broad Street to Karl Road (Karl Road)
'Til I'm gone, oh-ooh
6-1-4, shotgun (bad -)
Centerfold (ride with me)
Switchin' lanes, never switchin' codes (switchin')
When you on this side drop the lo' (drop the lo')
6-1-4, ridin' dirty
Sittin' low, never fold
Hittin' roads from Broad Street to Karl Road
'Til I'm gone (Bongo)
(Bongo)
