lyrics

Chorus:
Workin, and workin - but I still got so terribly far to go (far to go)
Workin, been workin - but I still got so terribly far to go

Verse 1:
Coming live from 15 minutes outside where they ride by expecting them blue lights behind.
In the grind breakfast to dinnertime, summer to wintertime.
Some of us intertwine spittin riddles and rhymes with a bit of crime.
Goin' HAM - even if we ain't into swine.
If it ain't makin no money, we ain't committing our time.
Most niggas be into dimes: talkin' 'bout a chick that's fine and that shit they be rollin' in that swisher when they be gettin' high, gettin' by, livin life like they finna die!
Spoken like a true 80's baby.
Born in that era where Ronald Reagan went crazy,
and Len Bias was maybe the greatest who never made it.
And fathers hesitated so them and their offspring is separated. But we're...

Chorus

Verse 2:
Up in Marietta where folk be on that "E"
like honor roll students in elementary
See faces be lightin' up whenever they mention me
cuz "he speaks so well", gettin it in, indeed!
I could've played the victim cuz situations was bad.
Complaining 'bout my life and them things I didn't have.
Worrying about Mama's bills while sittin' in class -
couldn't pay attention, learning addition and math
but nah, I learned from Outkast early on:
Nigga you got to get up, get out and get something son!
Word up, I tell the truth - I ain't tryna jive
I'm tryna survive, but too "artsy" for a 9 to 5 and so they got me

Chorus

Verse 3:
Coming live from outside of the metro
where everybody's a rapper, swearing they finna blow like petro.
We address those folks who dress so retro - stuck in the early 90's, they finally need to let go.
And see, I learned something from these so called "G's stuntin'":
the ones who talk the most - them the ones who be frontin!
That's why everything they speak, shit don't mean nothin.
I'm gettin' rid of all of the trash like I'm pre-bussing.
86 these old, molded, damn-near eroded, folded like bad Poker, done and over with, I'm so over this bogus shit!
What I see in them? Almost like the see the end.
I read rappers and then check em like BBM.
You see me..

Chorus

Verse 4:
See, the vision's clear.
Time is gettin' near.
I'm predicting I'ma be outta this hemisphere within a year.
Sippin on Guinness beer.
Vé's cool, you better pull out ya winter gear.
Folk be lookin at me sideways like they got swimmer's ear.
I dive in the deep end so the shallow ones can't creep in.
Cannonball em all if they're sleeping!
Folks be takin a break like it's the weekend?
That's cool cuz that's usually the moment I begin.
Ain't no need to pretend I
live in the moment, the now, the current, the present.
I'm just a component, my style, you learn to accept it.
You need to be on it, that's how you earn the respected.
So I keep the flowin' locked down (in) the perfect direction.

Chorus
