Kvng Moses and illvibe - Long Way from Home

clone this shit gets hard it's a long road
I'm old enough to know what I want though
Get close, I'm movin' on, I've been gone, oh
c long way from home (a long way from home)

Yeah
Imagine laying down and having every issue that you've ever had erased
Like it never happened
Now imagine waking up and having everything you've ever wanted and you've always had it
Now tell me
Who would you be then?
What would you do differently?
Without your memories of struggle would you be guided to live your life vividly?
Maybe so, but what's joy without a memory of pain?
You wouldn't know how to appreciate it
When you start to feel a void you wouldn't know why or how to alleviate it
Lookin at your obstacles like “Lord I need to make it!”
You're feelin' vacant, but don't live your life abbreviated
I understand how it can be sometimes
Life is love, but to live we have to weep sometimes
We get hurt, we fall down and we bleed sometimes
But it's never been a race so walk and breathe sometimes, shit
cnd be careful what you wish for
The same things you take for granted are the things people fish for
You have a car with a bent door
But someones out there walking when it rains while your indoors, damn
cnd I'm not sayin compare your shortcomings
‘Cause everybody feels the thunder when the storms coming
People stressin' ‘cause they don't know if there's more comin'
You'll never grow if you don't take a chance, endure something
I'm sayin'
Your life's a puzzle piece
cnd everything that you encounter in life shapes you in some degree
That's why sometimes you just fit with somebody
But after many years of life y'all grow apart or fit uncomfortably
‘Cause everybody goes through life different
So at the time y'all may have fit, but after struggle you see life different
Y'all went through the same shit with different eyes, vision, and feelings
You're a different you in this time period

clone this shit gets hard it's a long road
I'm old enough to know what I want though
Get close, I'm movin' on, I've been gone, oh
c long way from home (a long way from home)
clone this shit gets hard it's a long road
I'm old enough to know what I want though
Get close, I'm movin' on, I've been gone, oh
c long way from home (a long way from home)

Imagine waking up and being told that you ain't shit because your skin tones a darker pigment
Imagine being told your struggle is imaginary
They hardly get it, it's hard to vision, or they part defend it
People struggle to see the pain that your heart has been in
They wanna argue, it starts division
cnd everybody wants to act like it ain't real, ‘cause it ain't something that they goin through
If it ain't their problem then it's hard to listen
We all are hypocrites, in the dark
You say all cops aren't bad, but treat us like we are?
Sometimes we cry wolf, that never gets us far
We joke y'all laugh, y'all joke, we scarred, huh?
Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like?
What if you got an envelope with no names, but words that describe
Not physical features but what someone does in their free time
Could you really guess their race? I think not.
Yeah
So tell me who you are to try to tell me I am worthless!
You do not determine who I am or my purpose!
You will not treat me like a clown at a circus
Treat me like I am a person
I am a King, I am the voiceless
cnd I need a cure for this feeling in my heart it feels just like poison.

How'd I get so far from home
I always know my way home
How'd I get so far from home
I always know my way home

clone this shit gets hard it's a long road
I'm old enough to know what I want though
Get close, I'm movin' on, I've been gone, oh
c long way from home (a long way from home)
clone this shit gets hard it's a long road
I'm old enough to know what I want though
Get close, I'm movin' on, I've been gone, oh
c long way from home
