Ohhh Yeah
It's a long way home
At the end of the road

I'll be pavin' my own way
To the top I'll be here to stay
So take my name

Remember this face
Keep the change and have a nice day
And live for the moment not by the past

Homie live each day like it's your last

Yeah

All my life
I couldnt fit in like a bad shoe
I was always to square, too cube

Too tall, too weird, too blue
Forget them highschool hotties
Now I'm too cool

I guess I came a long way from that young kid
The schools most popular lame
No friends

No style, no clothes, no ends
Just a bed for sleepin never woke up again
Yeah, and my last prayer

Was don't ever let me end up l
Ike the people that's down here
Cuz the ones that fear change

Be the ones that don't care
Look at themselves
And see somebody else in the mirror

But you could always pick me out of the crowd
Loud mouth with my very own style
And what I know now

Is don't ever pretend
And live every single day like you wont see it again


So take my name
Remember this face
Keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment not by the past
Homie live each day like it's your last
And If you only had 24 hours

And 1400 minutes
Before your dreams gone
Then you better go live it

Cuz whatever you love
Could be taken away
So live like it's your dyin day


I dedicate this
To my teachers that never believed in me

And the mother that concieved
But ended up leaving me
I just wish yall could see me smile

This big grin's on the TV now
Uh, and I took it from the bottom to the top
From the holes in my socks

Ramen noodles in the pot
Used to rob 'em on the block
Now they spot me in the drop

Middle finger up
And that ain't gon' stop
I used to take orders

And now I make bets
I used to scrub floors
And now I sign checks

I used to push carts
Now I push songs
Yeah I used to be there

Now I am so gone
I'm fine myself
Found a job myself

Established my name
Then I signed myself
And what I tell myself

Is you did this by yourself
And when I'm on so long
I'll be by myself
I'm gone


So take my name
Remember this face
Keep the change and have a nice day
And live for the moment not by the past
Homie live each day like it's your last

And If you only had 24 hours
And 1400 minutes
Before your dreams gone
Then you better go live it
Cuz whatever you love

Could be taken away
So live like it's your dyin day

I wish I could see their faces
When they heard your boy spittin

Wish I could know what they thinkin
When they heard my first hit
Cuz I remember them wishin
That I wouldn't get big
Now I bet they wishin they wouldn't have said that %#@!
I came out of a dying city

Brought back life
Everything they said I couldnt do
I did 'bout twice
Multiply that by the battles that we popped each night
That equals out to a celebration
(*##$es more ice
Make a toast to the underdogs

Toast to the team
Toast to the fact we this close to the dream
Pour one for my exes
Used to talk wreckless
But now I push benz's
And rock rolex's
Came from the city

And untill they come and get me
Turn around and see the whole east side still with me
And that's how we livin
Ya mans don't change
Look it's still the kid
Still can't tell me god damn thing


So take my name
Remember this face
Keep the change and have a nice day
And live for the moment not by the past
Homie live each day like it's your last
And If you only had 24 hours
And 1400 minutes

Before your dreams gone
Then you better go live it
Cuz whatever you love
Could be taken away
So live like it's your dyin day

It's a long way home

At the end of the road
I'll be pavin' my own way
To the top I'll be here to stay
So take my name
Remember this face
Keep the change and have a nice day
And live for the moment not by the past
Homie live each day like it's your last
