Came a Long Way Lyrics

I done came a long way

From being a slave

They don't point my direction

They look the other way

I done came a long way

From being a slave

They don't point my direction

They look the other way

I done came a long way

From the hole that i made (And walking on my grave)

I'm just trying to find balance

Each and every day (I'm telling you that hurts)

When you come from the bottom

It ain't no telling where you'll stay (It ain't no telling where you'll lay your head)

You just need the right direction

But they won't point you that way (They don't wanna see you vertical)

All i need from you is to stay

Down and me and you

We'll make it to

That ship that they took from us

We'll make it to

We'll make it to

I done came a long way

From being a slave

They don't point my direction

They look the other way

I done came a long way

From being a slave

They don't point my direction

They look the other way

I done came a long way

From the choices that i made (From decisions that I made)

Some of them were disasters

Some of them were good plays (Some of them made the day)

When you speak from the heartache

Make them feel your pain (Let them feel your joy too)

Cause everybody ain't progressed yet

They still in the same place (Still stuck as a slave)

All i need from you is to stay

Down and me and you

We'll make it to

That ship that they took from us

We'll make it to

We'll make it to

I done came a long way

From being a slave

They don't point my direction

They look the other way

I done came a long way

From being a slave

They don't point my direction

They look the other way

I done came a long way

From the hole that I made

I done came way
