The Long Way

Nowadays I'm coming up, yes I'm aware I took the long way
I suggest you do not test me 'cause I've had a long day
I cannot look back into the past 'cause that's the wrong way
I'm on my way up and when I'm there I'll have a long stay
Nowadays I'm coming up I took the
Long way
Please don't test me 'cause it's been a
Long day
I can't look back 'cause that's the
Wrong way
At the top I'm gonna have a
Long stay

When I'm at the top I'll have a welcome that I'll overstay
I'll have hits on hits so plaques on plaques are what I'll overlay
I know that I'm hella close however, I don't know the day
I'm asking God for the strength to continue, that is what I pray

Even when I'm number one I gotta move like I ain't make it
'Cause there's gonna be someone like me who gon' be tryna take it
Hoe, I made myself a promise, I ain't dumb enough to break it
If I ain't love you, would've been walked out, I don't got time to fake it
Honestly I'm running out of patience, but I have to exercise
I'm on my grind, in versatility I specialize
I'm doing me so people pleasing had to set aside
I got fire in my soul and I won't let it die

Nowadays I'm coming up, yes I'm aware I took the long way
I suggest you do not test me 'cause I've had a long day
I cannot look back into the past 'cause that's the wrong way
I'm on my way up and when I'm there I'll have a long stay
Nowadays I'm coming up I took the
Long way
Please don't test me 'cause it's been a
Long day
I can't look back 'cause that's the
Wrong way
At the top I'm gonna have a
Long stay

When I'm at the top I'll have a welcome that I'll overstay
I'll have hits on hits so plaques on plaques are what I'll overlay
I know that I'm hella close however, I don't know the day
I'm asking God for the strength to continue, that is what I pray

Run it up
I still haven't done enough but I'm still coming up, aye
I don't know when imma drop this but what's coming after is fire, I'm targeting May
Lately been in isolation so music is difficult but I been making a way
Been on go, no hesitation so yes, it is critical that I don't let you delay
Been in the game for a minute it's crazy, remember in class making music with' Kaee
Been in the game for a minute, since middle school, showing my music to Dallas and Tre
I started a trio now it's only me
Understood that is not what they wanted to be
Now I'm one out of one and not not one out of three
But they still be my day ones 'til I'm on a tee

Nowadays I'm coming up, yes I'm aware I took the long way
I suggest you do not test me 'cause I've had a long day
I cannot look back into the past 'cause that's the wrong way
I'm on my way up and when I'm there I'll have a long stay
Nowadays I'm coming up I took the
Long way
Please don't test me 'cause it's been a
Long day
I can't look back 'cause that's the
Wrong way
At the top I'm gonna have a
Long stay
