Long Way Home Lyrics

I can't give up now

It's a long way home

I think about it all day

And all night long (we got another one, baby)

I know that it's a long road, I don't wanna move fast

Came too far, ain't tryna look back

We can't give up now

It's a long way home (yea, ok)

And we aint going back home

Sometimes I just think about the days

All the battles that we fought and obstacles we done faced (ayyy)

Uphill journeys all the dues that I paid

All the missed opportunities chances that got away

It's hard to move on, but ain't no way I can stay

I don't know about you, but I just pray everyday

Because there's gonna come a time where we're going our separate ways

And it don't matter if we're different, I'm loving you just the same

Promise me you'll love me if I'm going through a phase

I know that life happens, a lot of thing gon change

Sometimes we ain't always gonna have a good day

And all those bright and sunny times eventually turn to gray

But like a QB, I'm just tryna make a play

And sometimes i get lost like I'm running through a maze

And we ain't picture perfect, but we're fitting in the frame

I know it's hard, I'm just tryna find my way

I can't give up now

It's a long way home (it's a long way home)

I think about it all day (all day)

And all night long (all night long)

I know that it's a long road, I don't wanna move fast

Came too far, ain't tryna look back

We can't give up now (up now)

It's a long way home (yea, it's a long way home)

And we aint going back home

I been chasing my dreams- young and motivated

I been turn't up for my city really still see people hatin'

Granny told me to stay focused; know she want to see me make

Put my all into these notes and hope the most I see the greatness

Hood give me motivation

Left the hood, I gotta make it

Opportunity on the line, where I'm from you gotta take it

Gotta stay up on your grind, take the pain and stop complaining

And I'm far away from home, so it's challenges I'm facing

Gotta overcome the nation even though some people racist

I been going through a lot, If they doubt me, then they hatin'

Everybody gotta turn- you coming up, keep being patient

Talking money, then I'm racing

I speak the truth like regulations

They say, "Lyissa, how you do it?"

Man, I had the dedication

Cause I'm black and educated, they ain't think that I could make it

And they thought that I was basic, now I'm up and elevated

Cause I'm black and educated, they ain't think that I could make it

I can't give up now

It's a long way home (it's a long way home)

I think about it all day (all day)

And all night long (all night long)

I know that it's a long road, I don't wanna move fast

Came too far, ain't tryna look back

We can't give up now (up now)

It's a long way home (it's a long way home)

And we aint going back home

Move fast

Look back

Up now

It's a long way home

I been chasing my dreams- young and motivated

I been turn't up for my city really still see people hatin'

Granny told me to stay focused; know she want to see me make

Put my all into these notes and hope the most I see the greatness
