Slim Thug - Came A Long Way lyrics

Thugga
(Got Damn Samm)
Nigga came a long way, you know what I'm sayin'?
From Lil Slim to Big Slim
Thinkin' back on that shit

Had it rough when I was growin' up
Youngest of seven, so I really wasn't left with much
Mama workin', heart hurtin' 'cause her kids wildin'
Comin' home to evictions, I ain't never smilin'
Can't control her house, shit, we out in the streets
Food stamps, but that ain't the way we tryna eat
Can't depend on her, I'm twelve, but look like a man
So I hustled this and that and got my first grand
Fell in love with the grind and I stopped playin'
Got tired of hearin' what them haters at school sayin'
Fuck them Chucks, I need J's and Polos for days
Ever since then, Thugga been gettin' paid

When I first touched that first rack
It wasn't no goin' back, man
I knew right then that for the rest of my life
I was gon' get whatever I want whenever I want it
And that's what it is and that's what it been since then
HoggLife, Boss Life, nigga

Twenty years later, still gettin' paper
And if you don't like me, you gotta be a hater
I put on for my city like I said I would
Went back, built houses in my old hood
Still tryna climb higher, never satisified
Feel like I'm at my best, I ain't never tired
Never lied, never thought I'd make it this far
Wish I knew all of this when I was stealin' cars
I was thinkin' too petty
Got my mind right, my hustle right, and came up steady
You can do the same too
Stay focused, stay out the way, and your day'll come too, fool

Was out in the streets, now we livin' in suites
You know what I'm sayin'? The come-up
Gotta make sure it ain't no downfall, man
To all y'all out there, chase your dreams, man
Don't let nobody tell you what you can't do
'Cause you lookin' at living proof
A hater can't stop nothin'
Yeah, grown man business, you know what I'm sayin'?
Was a young thug, now I'm a grown boss
