[Chorus: Skrizzly Adams]
I came a, long way, from where I've been
Got a heavy load, they say, I've been 'carryin
And I know, I'll have to answer, for all my sins
So I better, cash out, right now, before the walls close in
[Verse 1: Chris Webby]
Yea I stole the game
Get away car on the open range
Grind it out sleet, snow or rain
Took ahold of pain, no nonvacaine
I'll show 'em plain, it's simpler
Broke it down with the written word
On how to strike when the iron's hot
And climb on top, then fire shots
When you get the urge
I flip a bird to the system
That fugitive
fu*k the world with no lubricant
Keep 'hatin that's 'fuelin this
Engine inside, with this pen of mine
To get these rhymes
Then in time, it got lucrative
Stuck 'em up and I doubled up
I'm one of one, with no duplicate
If that shoe will fit, then I'll throw 'em on
Run a motherfu*king marathon
Get the torch then I carry on
Till it burns out, and it turns out
That it's still lit
Never goin' off
Here to make a scene till I'm haulded off
Burn bright till ain't nothin left
But don't fall off
So tell 'em
[Chorus: Skrizzly Adams]
I came a, long way, from where I've been
Got a heavy load, they say, I've been 'carryin
And I know, I'll have to answer, for all my sins
So I better, cash out, right now, before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
[Verse 2: Chris Webby]
I've had people that misleaded me
And treated me like I'm nothing
Turn they back or they bet against me
It seem to me that they bluffin
I kept winnin and kept winnin
And kept pushing they bu*tons
I hit 'em over the head with it
Better check for concussions
I been crushin, I been rappin
Enjoy it now cause ain't sh*t lasting
Chip cashing, before I'm out
Then get the whiskey and pour a round
Outlaw to my downfall
Left lane and I'm speed racing
With a dream that I've been chasing
I keep chasing
My seat facing that limelight
Strike gold when that time write
Then bow out when that time's done
With my money and my mind right
Ain't it funny how the hindsight's always perfect
And the wounds heal on the surface
And the scar tissue, inside you, will define you
But it's worth it
Find your purpose, find what you love doing
Find obstacles and then run through them
Make something stick, and then un-glue 'em
Then re-glue 'em, just keep moving
And see, through all of your enemies
And feed the fire with intensity
Just look at me, independently
I pulled off the heist off the century
[Chorus: Skrizzly Adams]
I came a, long way, from where I've been
Got a heavy load, they say, I've been 'carryin
And I know, I'll have to answer, for all my sins
So I better, cash out, right now, before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
Before the walls close in
