Tech N9ne - The Long Way lyrics

[Intro: Tech N9ne] Tech Nina, lets get it Mama told me get it and I did Make a beautiful livin' for my kids Man, I'm really in love with my gig Wasn't always known I couldn't take the throne 'till I raced for home and I slid For my [?] where I lived But the Yates was growin' in my biz And I couldn't even afford Reebok's It was Payless shoes and holy socks Then I started to earn G-knots, screamin' F-T-I on TV spots Livin' the lovely life we chose Still I'm livin' it by street codes Pain and poverty put these flows in Beast Mode Here we go [Verse 1: Tech N9ne] The road to my success from here was not a block away On the coast they told me I'ma part with Travis, not today We just wanted what's hot to play But they gave me no slot to slay Even though I'm not Lecrae, every day Tecca Nina would drop to pray On my knees in a cot There was multiple beds in my spot So let the champagne pop, everybody feelin' my gang, gang lots Took a lot of hard work to get guap, when you comin' from a scarred turf, could be stopped From the hurtful dirt to the top Yeah we gonna celebrate today cause we got [Hook: Tech N9ne] Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way [Verse 2: Krizz Kaliko] Too big and too ugly, would you ever love me? Every city we visit, we get it, but people they look at us funny I feel like I'm way too fat, but what I'm packin' is making them kitties get after 'em They hearing me flippin' and rip the back up out the track, then they trackin' a pack of 'em Applause, applause, now we sell it enough to get our house and our cars up Gotta get them bars up to be part of the upper echelon and hit the stars up And we did it Me and Nina stay committed to our art, we always doin' our part We get it And we knew we gettin' the cheese or we siezin' our G's up, Jesus Only breaking from making 'em rock The pushin' manuever been making the block Indusin', I'm cool when I'm oozin' I'm cruisin' the planet, they think I'm faking a lot I gotta get to the money, gotta get to the money, and they think I'm making a lot I'm keepin' a millimeter pilly under the tummy for dummies, if they wanna plot New money, I ain't trying to save, cause I just made it Look at my royalty state, thank God for the ones who gave it Lots of props for the ones who made it Cause this road ain't paved Sippin' till I'm elevated We made it, so we gon' [Hook: Tech N9ne] Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way [Verse 3: Tech N9ne] Yeah, we started this Strange Music in Trav's basement Now we gonna have our fifth Strange building because we had patience And I got all these ma** payments with a mad cadence k** it when I rip it up, I'm makin' 'em listen, not pickin' me up, and I never have a cash craving We appreciate this, so we create hits See me lay this, inebriated And we be faded, indeed we stay lit From the oddest, to people listen, and look at me Godish Not a time for Nina to be modest People celebrate with me 'cause we got it [Hook: Tech N9ne] Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way Let the song play (We got it) 'Cause we done came a long way (We got it) They know we get that grown pay (We got it) Now they mess with me the long way (We got it) The long way
