lyrics

Long Road Home
Haa haaaa
Everybody got something to say right?
Everybody got an opinion
Everybody got their own experience
You just gotta move through that shit man, do you

They say I'm running in the wrong direction
Like I've been trying dodge my own reflection
Hold me down to a mirror staring at with resentment
And I bet I have the same perspective
A little grease on this white Tee
Excuse me, I don't care if you don't like me
Couldn't care less what you say
When I been working everyday and there ain't nobody like me
Married to this game, and she Mrs. Rayre
I ain't been home but I'm getting there
Consider this my voicemail, babe I'm on my way
The train is running late, I know it isn't fair
But no worries, I'm nothing if I'm not my word
Here's a kiss a seven kilohertz
Using everything within my power I'll be damned
If it's another day at stake that I be missing her

It's a long road home
A lot of steps but I found my hold
Solid as a rock I could hold you down
(Hold you down)
Heavy is the head underneath the crown
('Neath the crown)
It's a long road home
It's a long road home

I'm not sure if this liquor I'm sipping is holding me up
Like a crutch, or weighing on me like it's country cooking
I guess it's better than sitting with both of my wrists tied
Getting my FaceTime, at central bookings
I ain't got answers for questions targeting people
That speak a language in common with you that ain't present
I'm not an ambassador or a counselor
So get your ass out of here 'fore I cancel you
Get your as out of here 'fore I get to four
Three, two, and to the one
Tripping that this lady maybe gave my ass a son
I was simply stressing, I ain't say that I ain't want him
But I ain't know where to go, I was barely twenty-one
I was barely fucking grown
And you ain't want me in the picture
I never should've listened but I moved the fuck on

It's a long road home
A lot of steps but I found my hold
Solid as a rock I could hold you down
(Hold you down)
Heavy is the head underneath the crown
It's a long road home
It's a long road home

Nothing worth something is ever easy man
I ain't talking 'bout getting on TV man
Don't want to be a star for y'all to try and read me
Don't want to get involved with any drama
Got enough on my own
Can't afford to let it get me out of my zone
Get enough of that from my phone
Beckons for attention when I busy penning songs
Yo, I need a second dawg
Tryna find my peace
I been tryna reconcile what's inside of me
See I'm not looking for approval or a slice of beef
I don't need a blue check or a Nike cleat
I mean, it'd be a nice sight to see but...
You already know, let the motherfucker run

It's a long road home
A lot of steps but I found my hold
Solid as a rock I could hold you down
Heavy is the head underneath the crown
It's a long road home
It's a long road home
