[Verse 1]
Used to commentate over Call of Duty
Bumpin' SwagyTracks, wishin' people knew me
I was grindin' hard, I was makin' moves
Think that half my friends thought that I was looney
I just had a drive as if I knew this comin'
Workin' all the time but wasn't makin' nothin'
Started writin' music for my friends' amusement
Never really thought that it would turn to something
But that's that
I just fell in love with this rap in GarageBand on my old Mac
Yeah, I'm talkin' way back, way back to the start of it
Before the first hit, first fan, first all of it
Now I got a couple hits, I think I'm doin' fine
Rappin' off the charts, still ain't in my prime
I'ma keep on goin' 'til the top is mine
Put my heart and soul inside every line, like—

[Chorus]
Yeah, I came a long way
Had a tough few years
Still, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
Had to battle my thoughts
Had to fight my fears
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
They can say what they like about me
I'm just movin' at a different speed
Everybody was the first to doubt me
Not too many saw what I could see
Yeah, we came a long way
Had a tough few years
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
[Verse 2]
Whole life changed, 2017
Goin' all in, no more in between
No days off, no lame excuses
This is intuition, no one intervene
This a real movement, this my real life
I dropped out of school, then I did it twice
Still makin' more than all these business majors
All these business majors can't get me advice
Way back then, they were all laughin'
Hope they keep it comin', please give me somethin'
Yeah, you talk a lot, but you ain't doin' nothin'
Me, I really do it; you ain't hear me bluffin'
That's the difference, homie, you ain't got the passion
You ain't got the fire, that's the shit you lackin'
Last month I made more than my parents
Off of fuckin' rappin', told me that won't happen
Now it did

[Chorus]
Yeah, I came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
Still, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
Had to battle my thoughts
Had to fight my fears
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
They can say what they like about me
I'm just movin' at a different speed
Everybody was the first to doubt me
Not too many saw what I could see
Yeah, we came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
No, I wouldn't change shit (change shit)
That's the reason I'm here
[Verse 3]
I still think I'm dreamin', at a loss for words
I've been told "no" at almost every turn
By some rap labels, by some music agents
Told me I don't got the look to make it work
If I'm honest with you, I almost gave up
Couldn't get a blog to ever play us
My debut album hit the fuckin' charts
Spread it to the fans
Bitch, we came up

[Chorus]
Yeah, I came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
Still, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
Had to battle my thoughts
Had to fight my fears
No, I wouldn't change shit
That's the reason I'm here
They can say what they like about me
I'm just movin' at a different speed
Everybody was the first to doubt me
Not too many saw what I could see
Yeah, we came a long way (long way)
Had a tough few years (few years)
No, I wouldn't change shit (change shit)
That's the reason I'm here
