Jerome Smith - 10 Years lyrics

2006 Verse 1 Lets Start off in the Summer of 06 Buck wild, and I got caught up in the mix I knew shoulda never went to that party Welcome to The Concrete Jungle in the safari So much tension in the room, then things got ugly Everybody got bloody, but I guess I got lucky I was the only one that made it out Puff told it was No Way Out but I gotta found another route Hunger in the game, can you feel my hunger pain Ima get it im independent like my main man Dame I had to stay on the right path and stay away from the fools Cause I Got into a new school with new rules Todays the day, I got a hour to make it to registration Walked into the guidance office and got all of the information Sat down and looked up and I got stuck in a gaze Saw the type of girl you take home to meet your family on a Sunday CHORUS It took 10 years to be a overnight success Took me 10 years to realize im the best Let's see what happens in the next 10 Jerome is on the track and the pen now let the story begin 2016 Verse 2 Now here we are in 2016 Who woulda thought, I Never woulda thought, that i would make it past 16 I made it to be 6 feet tall, thank god im not 6 feet under I'm the only one that done made it outta the gutta I done Seen so many people lose it all so fast Didn't know how to play the position, now they always being typed cast Bamas told me that I would never ever be nothin We all know now, that I done turned nothing into something Now im on 3 of the highest rated shows, with 15 millions viewers What ima do next, only God knows the future Right now ima carry the flag, and put it on my back I told Flexx sit back, I got this, ima lead the pack I'ma have us all somewhere chillin on a island Somethings I can control, but the rest is God's timing Ready for the alley oop, just throw me the pa** They say nice guys finish last, but you gotta save the best for last CHORUS It took 10 years to be a overnight success Took me 10 years to realize im the best Let's see what happens in the next 10 Jerome is on the track and the pen now let the story begin 2026 Verse 3 2026 and everything is so different In the best way, with my wifey for lifey She was my friend first, before we took it to another level Took The Scenic Route, I ain't push the pedal to the metal When the time was right, we came together at the right time It took us 10 years for us to get it right My first child will be your first child Now we got 2, everyday they make us smile I turned out well but I want my kids to do better Layed down the foundation, for em to be smarter than ever Told the wifey, lets take the kids over they're grandparents house So we can go around the world, and vacay at our getaway house Thankful everyday my fam got me closer to God LTD Unlimited, Living The Dream with my squad For the record this might be the last time that you hear me on a record I found something more important than these music and these words, I'm gone!
