Long Way Home
I'm a long way home...
Long way home...
One year...
I don't pray nor do I go to church
'Cuz everyday, seem like niggas gettin' murked
Tell me, Lord, what is it worth?
And I guess this is me being grown
Still, I feel like I'm a long ways home...
One day, I'll look back over this shit
Knowing I did somebody wrong
Still, I'll put my whole life up on a song, nigga
Pops in the ground now
Nothing I could do, just be strong
Though somedays, I wish I was never born...
Yo, somedays, I wish I never turned on my jack
'Cuz one day, I know my thoughts could haunt me from the past
I done gave a lot, but niggas never tell the half
The strategy was chill and laugh, but still I ask
Why they will never portray ya good works?
Until you put up in that good dirt
It's crazy, how this world works
That fake hurt had spreaded out through the church
I've steadily learned
Even ya own "friends" could put lead through ya hearse
Like I remember
I gave this chick 40, like last September
It was half I wanted back
She never asked me for good measure
So they steal ya heart, just to use for they own pleasure
Never tell ya all to a Jehovah Witness member!
The bullshit started when you entered my space
All that hate that you retained so that you could portray
Someone that you was NOT, in no ways
Ya grave will be hot and blazed
'Cuz you fucked around with God's grace
But the game was played in more ways I couldn't peep
Because the shit was gettin' lazy,
One week, we ain't even speak
Those kids that you teach, I hope they don't close they speech
'Cuz ya aurora's awkward and it reeks
Being heartless was the key?
Simply you ain't wanna involved with me
Honestly, this foul bitch just took a huge part of me!
Cautiously, could've took a new route
But beauty and the booty of this cutie really ruled me
It was hard for me! Uhhhh!
Beefing with self in secret
Thoughts are blindsided, struggle to sleep with my keen-ship
No leadership involved
They say you'll fall
It's all devious!
Never have the balls to tell you that you are needed!
But peep this, if niggas loved you, they'll never sneak diss
I'm tryna tell you, you'll prevail if you'll see this
Strangers never spill ya tales
'Cuz that shit is meaninglessness
Fuck it though
You gotta stay well under deceitfulness...
I don't pray nor do I go to church
'Cuz everyday, seem like niggas gettin' murked
Tell me Lord, what it's worth?
And I guess this is me being grown
Still I feel like I'm a long ways home...
One day, I'll look back over this shit
Knowing I did somebody wrong
Still I put my whole life up on a song, nigga
Pops in the ground now
Nothing I could do just be strong
Though somedays, I wish I was never born...
Mannn, I learned a lot this year
I still think about my pops time to time
Still, I'm dropping tears
Girl I wanted led me on
My heart's honestly scared
My whole life is based upon everybody's ideas
It's like, when the FUCK will I be successful?
Lots of regret
Honest stress
Yet, I seek potential
Whole life is just a wreck
You got keys for rentals
The raindrops steadily torrential
Niggas plead for credentials
In the streets, they'll kill ya seed for a pretzel
Or worse, a fake bezel
Greed exceeds these levels
The devil out here
Taking what's yours, when you not there
My pops shared that dudes are two-faced
And they'd not care
Shit is bugged
Guess everybody's super-thugs pushing drugs
There's no unity, they through with love
Our race fighting to live, excited to die
Y'all base ya whole life around chicks, the dick, or the lah
I'm gettin' sick of this God
It's been a while since I felt like this
My house flooded, now, my mom type sick?
I damn sure don't like to see her struggle
I'll work these 8, 10, 12-hour shifts
Shit, I'll work these doubles
I gotta hustle the clean route
Even though my dreams are obscene now
And these visions can't be seen out
I'm pleading how?
God still providing ways?
Done heard that shit all before,
So I grind each day ... facts!
I don't pray nor do I go to church
'Cuz everyday, it seem like niggas gettin' murked
Tell me Lord, what is it worth?
And I guess this is me being grown
But still, I feel like I'm a long ways home...
One day, I'll look back over this shit
Knowing I did somebody wrong
I'll put my whole life up on a song, nigga
'Cuz pops is in the ground now
Nothing I could do, just be strong
Though somedays, I wish I was never born...
Word is bond, nigga...
Rest in peace, dad
Love you
Long way home...
One year...
I don't pray nor do I go to church
'Cuz everyday, seem like niggas gettin' murked
Tell me, Lord, what is it worth?
And I guess this is me being grown
Still, I feel like I'm a long ways home...
One day, I'll look back over this shit
Knowing I did somebody wrong
Still, I'll put my whole life up on a song, nigga
