I remember, I was just a boy but now I've been the man
I don't see a smile right now but you was laughing then
You can't understand what it took, you need some thicker skin
You can't walk a mile inside my shoes but you can just pretend
Always going where the wind take me, I don't need your help
I did a lot for those when I had less, it's like they all forget
Told the bitch to never come around if all you bring is stress
Gave you all I got and it won't stop, I ain't got nothing left
She want my love, I told her she can top me in the parking lot
But you tryna fool, baby girl, I know you just a thot
I used to try to talk to you in school but you was texting dry
I know you coming round right now because them niggas locked
And I can only think about the pain I went through
I can only think about the things I did to you
I would be lying if I say I didn't miss you
Long time coming, tell me where you tryna go
Long time coming, going down a different road
If it's bout' you, then I promise that I won't stop
Getting right to it, baby girl, ain't wasting no time
I read a message, it was in the sky right on the blimp
The message told me if I quit it now, then I'm gon' soon regret it
Like I'm talking to myself in 2050, like what if, or what I could've done
Gotta get it now cause I'm the oldest son
I can't work no 9 to 5, Wanya superstar
I got some dreams that be big as life, you want it overnight
Without the hard work and dedication
I was dead broke, helping out, I had no inspiration
Niggas saw me struggle, they ain't give me nathan
I knew right then I had to change it
I spit that deep shit, I can never fake it
Niggas want me grounded but I'm elevated
And I can only think about the pain I went through
I can only think about the things I did to you
I would be lying if I say I didn't miss you
Long time coming, tell me where you tryna go
Long time coming, going down a different road
If it's bout' you, then I promise that I won't stop
Getting right to it, baby girl, ain't wasting no time
