Long nights

(Yeah… yeah…) Long nights, long fights… Had to get it right… [Hook] Long nights, I was grinding, I ain’t sleep right, Cold world, had to shine, bring my own light, Now we up, yeah we living what it feel like, From the bottom now we stepping in the real life. [Verse 1] I remember I was broke, pockets hurting, no hope, Had to hustle every day, I was learning the ropes, People switched on me quick, I was losing my folks, Now I’m moving by myself, I ain’t trusting the most. Mama told me keep going, never fold, never stop, Even when it get heavy, keep your eyes on the top, I was down for a minute, now I’m back on my spot, Every move calculated, I ain’t missing my shot. Used to pray for these days, now I’m living the dream, But the pressure get real when you chasing the green, Gotta stay ten toes, keep my circle real clean, ‘Cause the fake show love but they hate in between. [Hook] Long nights, I was grinding, I ain’t sleep right, Cold world, had to shine, bring my own light, Now we up, yeah we living what it feel like, From the bottom now we stepping in the real life. [Verse 2] City cold, heart colder, had to build up my name, Now they watching every move like I’m part of the game, I was stuck in the rain, now I’m dodging the pain, Turned my losses to wins, I ain’t losing again. I done seen too much fake, had to cut off the ties, Even people I loved had that look in they eyes, Now I’m focused on me, I ain’t falling for lies, Every step that I take got me closer to prize. They ain’t see what I seen, they don’t know how it feel, When you hungry for real, you gon’ chase you a meal, I was down on my own, now I’m signing them deals, Everything that I speak, yeah you know it’s all real. [Bridge] (Yeah…) Sometimes I sit back, think about the past, All the pain, all the nights that ain’t last, Now I’m moving too fast, can’t crash, Gotta keep it all together, can’t fold, can’t crack. [Hook – Variation] Long nights, we was praying for a better day, Now we shining, all the pain just fade away, From the struggle, now we finally getting paid, Every step that we took got us out the cage. [Verse 3] Now the money coming in, I ain’t chasing no clout, I just stayed in my lane, took a different route, People talking real loud, they don’t know what I’m ‘bout, I was silent with the grind, now I’m loud with the count. Had to sacrifice time, had to cut off the fun, While they partied every night, I was chasing the sun, Now my future looking bright, yeah I already won, But I’m still going hard like I ain’t done. I keep my head high, never switch, never bend, Real ones by my side, I don’t need fake friends, If I fall, I get up, I’ma do it again, ‘Til the day that I make it, this the life that I’m in. [Final Hook / Outro] Long nights, I was grinding, I ain’t sleep right, Cold world, had to shine, bring my own light, Now we up, yeah we living what it feel like, From the bottom now we stepping in the real life. (Yeah… yeah…) Still grinding… no sleep… From nothing… to everything…
