Song by Q ''The Kid'' featuring Jermaine Dupri<br /><br>

[INTRO]<br>

Its been a long time comin'<br>

I'm here now<br>

Nobody can stop that<br>

<br>

[Verse 1)<br>

I've been travelin' long distances.<br>

I'm the meanin' of what persistance is.<br>

Music is the only thing I really love<br>

Since I was a kid and its the only thing i'm gonna love forever.<br>

I've been through the hard times and bad weathers;<br>

Long days an long nights tryin to get my career together. <br>

With school was my first goal bump these bras,<br>

I was blessed with the talent that can get me real far.<br>

In time and trust me i'm nice mine<br>

and i'm sick with an instrument listen to the drumline.<br>

And all i got is mo' fied come alot o' cats nice but i'm live-er than them.<br>

And these A.T.L. streets is what im tryin to rise up from by any means just to get that dream.<br>

It was hard but i did it graduated to the big screen now i'm on tour and the kid got bigger dreams.<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

(I hate to have been away too long)<br>

I'm just tryin to chase my dreams <br>

(did i leave your mind when i was gone)<br>

I hope not cuz i'm still here<br>

<br>

(I hate to have been away too long)<br>

I'm just tryin to chase my dreams <br>

(did i leave your mind when i was gone)<br>

I hope not...<br>

<br>

[Verse 2]<br>

Now i'm in a new state new division.<br>

New town new place i'm on a new mission: the good life livin'.<br>

Things unchanged new deal new aim<br>

two new four fists benz and arranged.<br>

I came along way from sittin' on a block<br>

from bustin up the shots to the # 1 slots.<br>

But look i'm a grind through it<br>

and i can make anything happen as long as i put my mind to it.<br>

I love music, yeah i'm real nice with them sticks.<br>

No class, no tutors; i was born with this gift.<br>

And theres only a few, one or two i could name,<br>

and cuz i'm hot dudes wanna ask me off the game.<br>

But i'm a keep strivin'<br>

and hussle all the way from the bottom to the top<br>

and surprize'um.<br>

And i could show you cuz it don't hurt to try.<br>

Stay focused and you'd better get by.<br>

(sing wit me ya'll) <br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

<br>

I came a long way and look where I made it<br>

and nothing you do or say can stop me cuz this what im here for.<br>

And hot pieces is all give for, you could never "not" me,<br>

What i'm sheddin' tears for?<br>

It was rough but i made it at last<br>

top dog major ahead of my class.<br>

Now, <br>

Jermaine, who they wanna get along with.<br>

Its Q they wannna sing the song wit.<br>

<br>

[CHORUS] (faded until end)<br>

<br>

<br>
