Started in the basement with a dollar and a dream
Now the whole block moving to the same regime
They ain't believe it, now they wanna feature
Funny how the doubt turn into a teacher
It's a long way up but I'm climbing
Every setback got a silver lining
Keep my circle close and my head up
Long way down but I'm a long way up
Jazzy little sample, boom-bap knock
Steady like the hands going round the clock
No shortcuts taken, paid every due
Loyalty's the only thing that's gettin' me through
It's a long way up but I'm climbing
Every setback got a silver lining
Keep my circle close and my head up
Long way down but I'm a long way up
Step by step, brick by brick
Build it up and it's built to stick
