Like I snuck out a cage Outchea acting like a Kim Kay version of a male without the money or the Kanye I just got mail and the money from the west Side In the club you could spot me from The drinks I drank You see the dreams I dreamt Would never wink right back I had to work and beg The beginning was never the best of this path But as I grew to avoid the void of empathy The cameras flashed as the cla** was in succession, uhh The circle never grew I kept the radius You see They can't crash your dreams if they don't know your next move, ha I keep it lowkey and I still do's Still room for improvement I feel the anger fuming every time I step into this room It's rare to find happiness in such a place where my heart was a tomb We dun come a long way Like weed and syrup from Lil Wayne We dun come a long way Like rainy days without shade And so we will find a way Until the day I'm just tryna find myself I'm sick and tired of number 2 It's not good for my health I sit and pray Zinga96 I hope the name will slay Took me half a decade And so I dedicate it to the future These raps will never decay Look haters talking loud I know they bout to debate And every time they do that all I do is create Empire records one time, (Came A Long Way)B-Smirk Zinga96 [Hook] The come up ain't easy but we Came a long way (yeah we came a long) Still on the grind yeah we Came a long way (yeah we came a long) It's Zinga and B-Smirk yeah we (yeah we yeah we) Came a long way (yeah we came a long) Skrr Skrr Skrr (skrrrrrr) Came a long way Skrrrrr
