Long Winding Road Lyrics - Singles - Jin

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 man 

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

The Best Karaoke Songs Ever, Ranked 

NEW SONG: Chris Lane - 'Big, Big Plans' (Video for Lauren) - LYRICS 

POPULAR SONG: Daddy Yankee & Snow - 'Con Calma' - LYRICS 

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 f**k what they think 

over a 100 thousand heads f**ked 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
