Paul the Messenger & Ironik - LONG WAY

Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round

I know that I've been learning
I see an opportunity
To lower my burdens
Couldn't really see it at first 'cause
I was distracted
Passive, I wasn't certain
Fog getting thicker by the minute
So I went outside
Had to be replenished by the sunshine
Don't know how much longer I'll be in it
Waiting for the nighttime
I even considered taking my life
Shocker Shocker
I was weak and fragile
Had no honour
Called my father, I was vulnerable
I felt like I couldn't take any pain
For much longer
Even good days were a horror
Nowadays, I see the point of it all
Though I'm not done with the season
I feel I must carry on
I cannot turn back
If I'm here then there must be a reason, yeah

Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round

You know some days
You wanna give it all up
Some days thinking
Is it all luck
Daydreaming about the days it was love
Doubting myself
Have I still got the touch?
Is it all up
I'm a business man
Still I don't watch no business fam
I just care about my business plan
Want it all then you gotta risk it man
Risk it, damn
Look, more time put it in a rap how I feel
I don't regret contracts and deals
But read what you sign
I'm just keeping it real
And please don't forget about
Your taxes and bills
Yeah, I've come a long way
From my bedroom recording
But I'm still awkward
But for the love of the music
I push forward
And that's all that's important, yeah

Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
