[Verse 1: BenniB] Now let me tell you a little bit about a young kid Who started to lose his way He didn't know where to go He couldn't stop the pain And every day dragged on so long Tried to save money so it stretched so long But holes in the pocket and the money's all gone And he wonder "what the f** is goin' on?" He's lost but there ain't all it Cause he stepped in the middle when his parents split Now its he said she said he said this, no more patience I can give Three years later and they still don't talk And since I left I feel like its my fault Now I wait months before I call, cause I'm all f**ed up from the sh** I saw What the f**'s up with that? Somebody please better hold me back Cause I think I might just overreact, and try to do something that I can't take back Wait a minute, f** that Imma just come back with more than average sh**, that magic sh** Can't handle it, I'll never quit Livin' by the mic tell my body goes limp I've had my ups, and I've had my downs And I catch myself right before I hit the ground And I make mistakes, but I found my way And I was gonna walk today, but I'll spread my wings and I'll fly away [Chorus] x2 It's a long, long way to the top But, you better believe homie I won't stop (I won't stop)
I'm gonna push anybody out my way Cause it's not about the fame when you're trynna make a name [Verse 2: BenniB] I hear the rain drops, I feel my heart stop I let my mind talk, so fly Imma make your ears pop My world, my world take a little trip to my world Hard to find but it's worth a trip and this sh**'s gonna make your mind curl This my pain, this my story, wanna bump this sh** gotta bump this sh** Be a dumb motherf**er to ignore me Quote me unquote me, Woe is me I write and bleed s**in' the life from me, and everything's comin inside of me In out my mouth, really wanna know what I'm talkin 'bout? Things I did livin' in my home town, and a lot of it don't really make me proud Guess that's how it goes, Imma just write it's all I know Pain in the verse, I hope it shows And I really don't get afraid anymore I got confidence, knowledge without college b**h Versus the consequence, rappin' that uncommon sh** Spit like a hollow tip, my dream yeah I follow it Happy cause I'm rockin it when I started at the bottom b**h [Chorus] x 2 It's a long, long way to the top But, you better believe homie I won't stop (I won't stop) I'm gonna push anybody out my way Cause it's not about the fame when you're trynna make a name
