Came a Long Way

We came a long way
Struggled every day
Revolutionary change
We came a long way
Struggled every day
Now we're on our way

Up north all the way down south
We got forced out of our own house
We were programmed to hate ourselves
To kill our neighbours it made no sense
Division became almost a part of our tradition
Systematically blinded, they extracted our vision
Refugee status, it was never chosen, yeah
We got caught up in the moment
Deciding whether to burry your love or run
You see your life hanging on the barrel of a gun
But as a young son you never understood
That this wasn't your life and there's a lot that you can do
But be mindful your life is in danger
Trauma and anger makes you feel like a stranger
But you're not, your royalty's a threat
To make you feel less, they will aim at your neck and you're gone

We came a long way
Struggled every day
Revolutionary change
We came a long way
Struggled every day
Now we're on our way

At times I thought we was never gonna make it
They stripped our clothes, we walked around naked
But we strong and that's how we knew
The struggle was a phase we'll eventually break through
Media, against us, nobody wanna thank us
For any good deeds, they got me skipping breakfast
Just so they can stamp my papers
We've broken down barriers, so they cannot break us
I know its tough we won't give up
They probably thought we won't keep up
Our reputation is based of circumstances
Politricks, we don't stand any chance here
So we march on but what's next
See we've been through the valley of the shadow of death
We prevailed, you can't hold us down
I'm from a land call Kush, recognise and take a bow

We came a long way
Struggled every day
Revolutionary change
We came a long way
Struggled every day
Now we're on our way

Coming from a land where we're killed for no reason
Politicians beefing, became its own season
1956 we expected change
2019 still the same old trades
We walked waters, we crossed borders, yeah
We lost daughters, and dads slaughtered, yeah
They weren't bothered they came harder
Causing more problems, we ran farther
Living down under, I am being ashamed
I am being blamed, I am being named
All their frustrations laid right before me
But they don't know my story
Shit wasn't easy repeated cycle
No peace or prosperity just scripted bibles
But I still have hope that if we stay woke
Best believe liberty will sure have last walk, cause

We came a long way
Struggled every day
Revolutionary change
We came a long way
Struggled every day
Now we're on our way
