Good guys finish last, live and learn
End result, my concern
Take your time wait your turn

Winds goin blow just stand firm
Well off man, we'll take a plane
Sat first class and never look your way

Nappy Roots perform on the same stage
Patrol cross country two whole days
Facebook pics along the way

People we met, what they say
I was out of town when I heard your voice
It hurt like hell but made a choice

Monetarily I came from nothing
Can bare the whole truth ashamed of nothing
Let's me know I have been through something

Only the strong will survive the struggle

[Chorus:]

Congratulation
Say I have been through much
Always on the grind, working this with my left hand

Working this from the right

$#&@ it that used to be my attitude

I'm coming from a place where you rarley got lucky
Never thought I will see a day the devil couldn't touch me
What the hell did I know never nappy head and dusty

Little boy from the country the middle of Kentucky
Armed with a special and I wasn't scared to bust it
Supposed to be in class but being chased by the cops

I had to make a choice keep running, no I stop
I ain't caught but a ^!$$% learnt a lot from my past. I know a few that didn't make it out
So we poured into a liquor make a toast and take a shot

to the wars that we lost on our way to the top

[Chorus:]

Congratulation
Say I have doin too much
Always on the grind working this with my left hand

Working this from the right
he a fighter he'll fight. He a fighter he'll fight
Nice with the left even better with the right


First day of school, fresh on the yard
I am always kinda of cool

Spending my days at the bar
with High school buddies braggin bout' Kentucky
Touch me to know that I'd be missed

And my girl stay down though I didn't commit man
She could do better
I knew it so I let her

I'm Only 19 trying to deal with the pressure
told ya boy im trying to be the next Jeff Shepard
My efforts put it to a group instead of hoops

A couple broke students who became Nappy Roots
had patience for a tree to grow out of bear fruit
But the name lives on WKU (Western Kentucky University) and the ? fried crew

And if I could everybody on the hills to salute
Aww Naw hell naw we aint through
To everyone I know or ever came to a show I kinda like being poor

cuz that's how I met you

[Chorus:]

Congratulation
Say I have been through much
Always on the grind, working this with my left hand

Working this from the right

It's all for one and one for all

Together we're goin stand, divided they goin fall
Regardless who we up against, Nappy goin brawl
Back against the wall is us against them all

Pat myself on the back the fact I made it this far
Pray to God that I'll make it tomorrow
hope they break down and cry

when they go to breakin down these bars
It was hard but now the world is ours
And the sky is the limit
the rides been splendid
But its far from over still got business to finish

got our sights on the future
And how to win it
Now we got it we're bout to defend it

I came last none of us was on the same class

But I looked out for me like stained glass
the Perfect example of making good things last
Through sunshine and rain and when the rain passed
we stood Strong stayed fast never changed past
came a long way from sittin on them train tracks

from bangin that cash to spitting on them same tracks
Not only that your boys fight but we kicked that $$#
Congratulations

[Chorus:]

Say I have doin too much
Always on the grind working this with my left hand
Working this with the right
he a fighter he'll fight. He a fighter he'll fight
Nice with the left even better with the right
