INTRO
They only see the penthouse They weren't there for the process They see the Lambo in the driveway They don't know what it cost us
VERSE 1
Designer on my back but I remember hand me downs Eating what we had, never let the family down Mama worked a double just to keep the lights on right I told her just be patient, ima change this overnight
Late nights in the studio while everyone was sleep Burning through my last dime just to chase what I believed Nobody pulled me up, had to climb this on my own Now the whole world calling but they didn't know my phone
PRE-CHORUS
They see the ice, they see the chains, they see the cars They don't see the years I spent just staring at the stars Every sacrifice, every night it felt too far That's what made me, that's the story behind the scars
CHORUS
Long way from home but I never left my roots Caviar and private jets but I remember the truth Every face that helped me up is riding with me now Wasn't just my dream we built this, we all came up somehow
They see the result, never saw the lonely road Never saw the weight I carried, never felt that cold But I made it and I'm bringing everybody through Cause the Lambo don't mean nothing if I ain't riding with my crew
VERSE 2
Pops used to tell me son just keep your head up straight Didn't have the answers but he showed me how to pray Sacrificed his weekends, never once complained Now I got him flying first class in the rain
Sisters used to share a room, now they got their own Everything I do I do so none of us alone Table getting longer every time we sit to eat Started from a struggle now we dining on a suite
CHORUS
Long way from home but I never left my roots Caviar and private jets but I remember the truth Every face that helped me up is riding with me now Wasn't just my dream we built this, we all came up somehow
They see the result, never saw the lonely road Never saw the weight I carried, never felt that cold But I made it and I'm bringing everybody through Cause the Lambo don't mean nothing if I ain't riding with my crew
VERSE 3
Hit every milestone I wrote down at twenty two Checked every box I promised to myself I'd get to But the hunger never left me cause the roots run deep Every goal I hit I set another one to reach
See success without your people is an empty room What's a private jet without the ones who prayed for you So I keep them close and keep the circle fed and right Cause we all deserve to see the view from this height
BRIDGE
Slatt, I did it for the family, always was the plan Turned the struggle into leverage, turned the boy into a man Never let the money change the way I move and feel Cause everything I have right now I know exactly what it's real
They can have the highlights I lived every single frame
OUTRO
Penthouse got a view but home is where we started Every comma in my account we earned it broken hearted Now we here and we together and that's all I ever need Long way from home but home is all I’ll ever be
