Long Way

(album: Never Too Late - 2017)

I was cruising down the road until I went the wrong way (wrong way)
I was hustling at the wrong time on the wrong day (wrong day)
Shaking my head like, "Oh man, I had a long day" (shaking my head)
I just tell my mama, "You can tell we came a long way" (hey)
Long way, long way (long way)
You can tell we came a long way (you can tell we came a long way)
Long way, long way (long way, long way)
You can tell we came a long way (you can tell we came a long way)

Look, all my old friends probably can't recognize me no more
I was in the den, now I'm eating good, kept me at the top floor
Somebody tell me the score
'Cause we got blessings in store
Let 'em fall, let 'em pour
We got a new wave on the shore
Pull up to the scene with the whole team, family matters, huh
Living out my dream, living like I'm Ream, what's coming after?
Moments I gotta go capture, living like a movie but I'm no actor
I'm just making sure that I'm in the rapture
'Cause if you ain't ready, it's a disaster

I was cruising down the road until I went the wrong way (wrong way)
I was hustling at the wrong time on the wrong day (wrong day)
Shaking my head like, "Oh man, I had a long day" (shaking my head)
I just tell my mama, "You can tell we came a long way" (hey)
Long way, long way (long way)
You can tell we came a long way (you can tell we came a long way)
Long way, long way (long way, long way)
You can tell we came a long way (you can tell we came a long way)

Gotta go hard 'cause life isn't easy
Depending on family, delete me
Now the same people just told me they need me
Praying so I can get stamina
I was weak until I opened my eyes
Now I got the keys like a janitor
Came up unexpected like a surprise
I ain't got time for the lies
Too many snakes in disguise
Please stay away from them guys
Especially when you on the rise
Came a long way from the junkyard days
Now they mad they can't pull me apart
I got nothing but respect in my heart
Thinking 'bout finishing right when I start, yeah

I was cruising down the road until I went the wrong way (wrong way)
I was hustling at the wrong time on the wrong day (wrong day)
Shaking my head like, "Oh man, I had a long day" (shaking my head)
I just tell my mama, "You can tell we came a long way" (hey)
Long way, long way (long way)
You can tell we came a long way (you can tell we came a long way)
Long way, long way (long way, long way)
You can tell we came a long way (you can tell we came a long way)

Long way
We came a long way, we came a long way
Long way (hey)
We came a long way, we came a long way
Long way
We came a long way, way, long way
Mama said age don't mean you grown
Just 'cause you home don't mean you belong
