Long way back down where we came from
Still stickin' with all my friends
We go way, way, way back

Still in the same whip from the year I was born
Got a little paint chipped, she's good and worn
Still with the same friends from the eight-five-six
Now the record execs try to pay our rents

And it's true, true, I would run it all back with you
Just a floor and a mattress, ooh
Found a way to make it happen, and then it happened
Like, ooh

Long way back down where we came from
Still stickin' with all my friends
We go way, way, way back (way, way, way back)

We took the little money that we had and we made some
Worth all the time we spent
We go way, way, way back (way, way, way back)

And I still thank Ma for the way I was raised
And I still thank God for the blessings He gave
And we still got a long way to go
At the end of the day, one thing I know

It's true, true, I would run it all back with you
Just a floor and a mattress, ooh
Found a way to make it happen, and then it happened
Like, ooh

Long way back down where we came from
Still stickin' with all my friends
We go way, way, way back (way, way, way back)

We took the little money that we had and we made some
Worth all the time we spent
We go way, way, way back (way, way, way back)

Long way back down where we came from
Still stickin' with all my friends
We go way, way, way back (way, way, way back)

We took the little money that we had and we made some (worth all)
Worth all the time we spent
We go way, way, way back
