Hey love You came a long way from Sitting in train stations Staring at strange faces Eat good food, drink good drink I walk around acting like my shit don't stink Seen bad days, seen bad weeks I done mad wrong, tryna make my peace I been real low, I been real high Used to hit the lab making beats till 5 In the morning And recording by the time it turned 6 Feeling sick but I know I'm finna get my shine And this shit here, this all me If I'm gon' fail it's gon' be on me And niggas always gonna try to throw you mad shade So fuck it then I might as well be under palm trees In the Caribbean cruising on the calm seas With a couple bad bitches looking at me raunchy Got my lady on my side, and that ass on me We be riding through the city till the gas on "E" Hey love You came a long way from Sitting in train stations Staring at strange faces I'm a simple man Gone fishing on a lake, in a distant land And I don't really care for the lavish life I turn up in the crib, that's the facts of life I'm just me My name Kota, no acronym No synonym and no antonym There were so many before him And there will be even more after him I'm just a drop in a bucket, I know I'm on a roof, sipping on 100 proof Used to eat oodles and noodles And leave out with holes in my shoes Sad because I wasn't cool But thank you to all of the kids That told me I couldn't play ball 'Cause I ain't have Jordan's, I had to conform So people would love me But now I'm in some other country where everyone love me So ooh! Hey love You came a long way from Sitting in train stations Staring at strange faces Oh you always think somebody owe you Looking for the handout, mad when they zoe you Claim that you real when you fake like tofu Niggas like you always seem to stay local Young niggas mad emo and mad vocal But I understand if you tell me it's the old you Imma drop gems like I'm Avatar Roku So listen up close if nobody ever told you You gotta earn your stripes You gotta build up the nerve to fight You gotta work the nights and think smart Homie learn this life in cold weather when it hurts to bite You gotta push through And you can flex when your funds is official For now you get sonned like you Malcolm in the Middle And if you got a issue get yo head up in the game Drop bombs on them dudes waving guns against you, uhh Hey love You came a long way from Sitting in train stations Staring at strange faces Hey love You came a long way from Sitting in train stations Staring at strange faces
