1
(Tech Nina, let's get it)
2
Mama told me get it and I did
3
Make a beautiful livin' for my kids
4
Man, I'm really in love with my gig
5
Wasn't always known I couldn't take the throne
6
Until I raced for home and I slid
7
For my labels flown where I lived
8
But the Yates was growin' in my biz
9
And I couldn't even afford Reebok's
10
It was Payless shoes and holy socks
11
Then I started to earn G-knots
12
Screamin' F-T-I on TV spots
13
Livin' the lovely life we chose
14
Still I'm livin' it by street codes
15
Pain and poverty put these flows in Beast Mode
16
Here we go
17
The road to my success from here was not a block away
18
On the coast they told me I'ma part with Travis, not today
19
We just wanted what's hot to play
20
But they gave me no slot to slay
21
Even though I'm not Lecrae, every day Tecca Nina would drop to pray
22
On my knees in a cot
23
There was multiple beds in my spot
24
So let the champagne pop
25
Everybody feelin' my gang, gang lots
26
Took a lot of hard work to get guap
27
When you comin' from a scarred turf, could be stopped
28
From the hurtful dirt to the top
29
Yeah we gonna celebrate today cause we got
30
Let the song play (we got it)
31
'Cause we done came a long way (we got it)
32
They know we get that grown pay (we got it)
33
Now they mess with me the long way (we got it)
34
The long way
35
Let the song play (we got it)
36
'Cause we done came a long way (we got it)
37
They know we get that grown pay (we got it)
38
Now they mess with me the long way (we got it)
39
The long way
40
Too big and too ugly, would you ever love me?
41
Every city we visit, we get it, but people they look at us funny
42
I feel like I'm way too fat, but what I'm packin' is making them kitties get after 'em
43
They hearing me flippin' and rip the back up out the track, then they trackin' a pack of 'em
44
Applause, applause, now we sell it enough to get our house and our cars up
45
Gotta get them bars up to be part of the upper echelon and hit the stars up
46
And we did it (okay)
47
Me and Nina stay committed to our art, we always doin' our part
48
We get it (okay)
49
And we knew we gettin' the cheese or we siezin' our G's up, Jesus
50
Only breaking from making 'em rock
51
The pushin' manuever been making the block
52
Indusin', I'm cool when I'm oozin'
53
I'm cruisin' the planet, they think I'm faking a lot
54
I gotta get to the money, gotta get to the money, and they think I'm making a lot
55
I'm keepin' a millimeter pilly under the tummy for dummies, if they wanna plot
56
New money, I ain't trying to save
57
'Cause I just made it
58
Look at my royalty state
59
Thank God for the ones who gave it
60
Lots of props for the ones who made it (okay)
61
'Cause this road ain't paved
62
Sippin' till I'm elevated
63
We made it, so we gon'
64
Let the song play (we got it)
65
'Cause we done came a long way (we got it)
66
They know we get that grown pay (we got it)
67
Now they mess with me the long way (we got it)
68
The long way
69
Let the song play (we got it)
70
'Cause we done came a long way (we got it)
71
They know we get that grown pay (we got it)
72
Now they mess with me the long way (we got it)
73
The long way
74
Yeah, we started this Strange Music in Trav's basement
75
Now we gonna have our fifth Strange building because we had patience
76
And I got all these mass payments with a mad cadence
77
Kill it when I rip it up, I'm makin' 'em listen, not pickin' me up, and I never have a cash craving
78
We appreciate this, so we create hits
79
See me lay this, inebriated
80
And we be faded, indeed we stay lit
81
From the oddest, to people listen, and look at me Godish
82
Not a time for Nina to be modest
83
People celebrate with me 'cause we got it
84
Let the song play (we got it)
85
'Cause we done came a long way (we got it)
86
They know we get that grown pay (we got it)
87
Now they mess with me the long way (we got it)
88
The long way
89
Let the song play (we got it)
90
'Cause we done came a long way (we got it)
91
They know we get that grown pay (we got it)
92
Now they mess with me the long way (we got it)
93
The long way
