Long Winding Road Lyrics

i seen it before uh yeah

hundred grand jin uh

check it check it check it out

imma take yall back on this journey real quick uh

take ya'll back in time

its a oldie but a goodie

check me out yall uh

ayo the streets is quick to talk

like jin things aint been the same since you left 106 and park

remember when them cats hit you with them Chinese jokes

you came back hard and held it down for Chinese folks (word)

but what else was I suppose to do

you either win or go home its non negotiable

this was 4 yrs ago but when shorties pass my way

they look at me sideways like it was last Friday

damn aint that a testament of skill

i took 7 weeks and finessed it into to a deal

had the hood in a frenzy no question I was ill

pulled out the R chain and my destiny was sealed

mo money mo problems aint that a bitch

so much drama in my life you would think I was rich

recall my first advance prepared for whats next

sittin on the train just starin at the check

copped the used SC 17 cash

threw the chrome 20s on and put the rest in the stash

told my fam pack up no more chasin a home

or stayin at relatives well get a place of our own

and even though the feelin was good

dont get it twisted naw money we still in the hood

now a years gone by with no sign of release

what happened to Jin? the buzz startin to die on the streets

as far as rhymes go I aint never runnin out but

without distribution I aint never comin out

tryin to find my way out of the dumps

then Learn Chinese dropped and got me out of my slump

fell out my chair when the shit hit the bassment

look this aint just a song its a statement

my intent was never to exploit my descent

when it went national it was a major event

it seems like for everyone one step forward I take

its three steps back Im sure you could sorta relate

and the streets know Im dope on the mic

they the same ones tellin me yo they aint promotin you right

ayo jin how you expect to make a killin

when damita jo strugglin to do a million

yet Im feelin no regrets on the moves I make

cause I been the underdog since I came out the gate mothaWHHUT!!

yeah uh

ayo Static i owe you for this one manJin - Long Winding Road - http://motolyrics.com/jin/long-winding-road-lyrics.html

uh huh you know how we do man

its a new day a new beginning

oh no no no the story dont stop there

im just gettin started

lemme see lemme keep goin yall

check it out

uh uh uh uh uh

where do I start gota find me a spot

04 thats when THE REST IS HISTORY finally dropped

did a joint with a Kanye in one single night

just to find out the Roc wouldnt clear the single rights

back to the drawin board we go

got two labels fightin for creative control

Virgins like Jin we need a crossover track

either that or well just keep pushin ya shit back

went against my better judgement shot a video for

Senorita a couple of chicks loved it

and thats cause they like to shake in the club

but that song aint truly show what Im capable of

did 20k the first week of release

didnt cry I just kept workin the streets

when the smoke clear say what you want I

scanned over 100 thou in less than 12 months

now you figure thats minus heavy rotation

on every television and radio station

some say I flopped I say fuck what they think

over a 100 thousand heads fucked with the chink

and that number only grows at a phenomenal rate

out of 50 I done ran thru 39 of these states

the love that I receive Im earnin it

from the SMACK DVD shit to the 50K tournaments

you hear the punch lines and think yeah thats quite ill

when Im battlin I think about the gas and light bill

and thats barely enough to survive

to the point I might have to get a 9 to 5

maybe this rap thing just wasnt meant to be

didnt know it was a 100% me

upon instinct I decided to quit

not for publicity but the fire was lit

to burn down what they saw as a decoy

in order to rebuild you gota destroy

so me and Kamel got it poppin

and there you have the birth of the Crafty doctrine

Properganda hit stores I refuse to wait

sales were mediocre but the reviews were great

I walked down a long winding road just to get here

follow my footprints theyll never disappear

yeah
