Long Way

Yeah yeah
I came a long way
And I been riding around, searching for a better meaning
I really think they don’t notice me because they never seen it
One in a million, what a wonderful feeling
I made this promise now I just want to fulfill it
Like, girl I hope you know I love you though I’m changing
But all my niggas been treating me like I’m famous
And this is all that I wanted I ain’t complaining
But if I keep it 100 this shit is draining
Cause now they call me fake
They used to never call me back
And now she call me bae, she used to never call me that
And I ain’t falling back in love because it’s all a trap
I tell her «life ain’t fair» and then I call a cab
I got no love for you I’m so broken and heartless
I couldn’t do enough for you, I was working my hardest
Trying to manage being a better man and a better artist
Should’ve known it was a lie when you said you loved me regardless
See? I see the good in people
And I feel like it’s so bad for me
I look for god cause I know the devil is after me
And I ain’t never feel nothing except this agony
But if I died right now, it would be a tragedy
Cause I done came a long way
Yeah, I done came a long way
And I be lying if I told you I ain’t think about the paper
The hoes and the shows and stunting on all my haters
But lately I’ve been feeling my purpose is something greater
Like maybe I could help you gon' face what you been afraid of
This food for thought and it’s catered
I just really hope they hearing me
I love the struggle cause lately it’s been maturing me
We used to sleep on that sofa it was just her and me
That’s when I knew I loved you for an eternity
I had no one beside me and to hold me down for real
I never had no one to stop me and just tell me about myself
I always came off way too cocky even when I needed help
I’ll never let a label sign me then just put me on the shelf
I got too much to say, to just be brushed away
I need my momma not to have to work another day
I’m sick of being so dependent
Staying where my brothers stay
It’s time to find a way out
Or time to find another way
