[Ya Boy:]. Hey Mama. Ya Boy Gettin Paid Mama. Remember It Didnt Used To Be This Way Mama. But Look Ya Son Drivin Escalade's Mama. And After Them Shows Ya Son Gettin Laid Mama. I Dont Know What It Is Mayb The Like Me. But Ive Been Suffering So Long Huh The Shit Is Frightening. People Are Star Struck Im Gettin Starbucks. But Last Year I Couldnt Afford Starbucks. I Went From Honda Cord To Driving Large Trucks. Didnt Really Have A Name I Couldnt Charge Much. Nigga's Overlookin The Bay But That Was Our Luck. Now I Got Sumthin To Say And They On Our Nuts. I Used To Hustle On The Block Sellin 10 Shots. And Now Im Tradin My Stocks At The Rim Shop. And The Shit Dont End No Its Not Stopping. Im In New York With Jin We Got The Set Popping. [Chorus: Ya Boy (Jin)]. Ayy Ive Been Down So Long So Long So Long(Its Time For Me To Come Up) [x4]. Ayy Ive Been Down So Long So Long So Long(If You With Me Get Up). [Jin:]. I Speak For The Mc's So You Can Understand Him. 1 - 2 Battle's Now They Call Me 100 Grand Jin. Accept The Fact That You Cant Win. Its A Done Deal Now That I Linked Up With Ya Boy In St Quin. You Know Cats Will Talk We Just Here To Get It Poppin. And Let The Bay Watch Like David Hasselhoff. Then Go Global With It Hit Your Part Of Town. But You Cant Reach The Sky If You Dont Start From The Ground. Can You Blame My Confidence?. In 4 Years I Rocked About 36 States And 5 Continents. Thats All On The Strenght Of My Flow. Only Suckers Who Measure Skills Based On The Land Of There Dough. I Represent The Graphieus Ask My Man Kay. He'll Tell You Right There Im Only 1 Hit Away. But You Never Know Shit This Could Be The Song. Its Time To Come Up Ive Been Down So Long. [Chorus: Ya Boy (Jin)]. Ayy Ive Been Down So Long So Long So Long(Its Time For Me To Come Up) [x4]. Ayy Ive Been Down So Long So Long So Long(If You With Me Get Up). [Jin (Ya Boy):]. So If You With Me Out There Then Please Stand Up. (And If You Hustlin Work Then Put Your Grands Up). But If You Get Locked And Put On A Stand Stuck. (Remember Snitchin Aint Cool Dont Never Give Your Mans Up). (And For My 9 To 5 Workin I Aint Mad At You). Single Baby Mothers That Gotta Be The Daddy Too. (This Is The Anthem For The Struggle In The Grind). Its Jin. (Ya Boy). Its About Time. [Chorus: Ya Boy (Jin)]. Ayy Ive Been Down So Long So Long So Long(Its Time For Me To Come Up) [x4]. Ayy Ive Been Down So Long So Long So Long(If You With Me Get Up)
