Long Way To Go

A long long way to go
A long long way to go

Alright man holla
From the home where the stone gets thrown like mancalla
Speaking to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
On the days when I felt washed up like sand dollar
Grasp on my collar, devil tryna' choke me
Sway me, tryna' persuade me and provoke me
To go and make my best friend green like I's Pokey
But I'm sharp as the weapon of choice for a shinobi
Please use the dot before the r-o-b
My name is my name since the all grey Sony
Fam skated on me tried to Tony Hawk Pro me
But it's cool even when all alone I'm never lonely
Surrounded by the mission and the sound of the beneficent
Only every tire when I pull up at the Michelin
Demi Phalastini I'm born into imprisonment
So I know there's more than our world this isn't it
I don't think you're hearing me
Please make it clear to me
Blood boil over stolen soil like a Cherokee
Waiting for the day I gotta pay you for the air I breath
Took time to find nobody cares what's fair to me
So I guess I gotta switch up the rules
The pressure aught to make me shine like crystals and jewels
A Muslim man shaking the hand of Christians and Jews
No malice in my heart I only live for the truth forreal

Speaking up to the sky but it don't reply would you come down and save my soul
I done grown so darn tired but I know that I got a long long way to go
A long long way to go
A long long way to go

Alright man holla, tryna chase a dollar
Never finished college, but I'm still honored
Everybody paying attention like I'm a scholar
Me and A.Rob like Batman and Robin
Devil trying to choke me but I remain solid
I'm the type to never end a problem until I solve it
I just want the W to help the ones starving I am the artist I just paint the picture without arguing
Ever since I started I'm the largest target making movies Marcus
I don't market music if it sounds garbage
Always make Dua to shed light when it gets darker
And read the Fatiha on the plane before departure
You can't walk in my shoes you don't got those
I'm from Chicago I'm used to going through potholes
Time is money and your clock broke
I'm heating up like a hot stove and I keep it on lock mode
I had a talk with the sky I asked why is it easy over here and harder on the other side
This ain't butterflies during summer time, otherwise I'd be living in Palestine instead my cousin died
No revenge I don't have it in me
Used to own it now it's stolen so it matters to me
Middle East needs peace it's as bad as you see
Let's pray for Lebanon, moment of silence the beat

Speaking up to the sky but it don't reply would you come down and save my soul
I done grown so darn tired but I know that I got a long long way to go
A long long way to go
A long long way to go
