Dave East, Cordae - Long Way lyrics

You wanna be rich or you wanna be broke? Huh

Thinkin' to myself, I had a long night
(I had a long night)
Woke up somewhere else, I had a long flight
(Where we go?)
Sweatsuit for the flight, I got it, Off White
(I got it, Off White)
This is for my niggas really
Came up off white (Came up off white)
You ain't never been on no
Mission that touched your heart, right?
(Touched your heart, right?)
You ain't never fucked no bitch
'til she ain't walk right
(She ain't walk right)
I know youngins that shoot
Funny like they Cartwright
(Boom boom, like they Cartwright)
Home invasions feel amazing 'til
You get caught, right?


('Til you get caught, right?)
We masked up like Bane on them dark nights
(On them dark nights)
F&N bullets treat your body like a shark bite
(Like a shark bite)
Outside on them benches under park lights
(Under park lights)
That phone ring, you better answer
I don't call twice (I don't call twice)
In a smoker crib, could find me all night
(All night) made enough for mama groceries
Now we alright (We alright)
Homie, you pussy with a strap
That mean you all dyke
(That mean you all dyke)
In these New York City night
You better talk nice (Talk nice, nigga)

Thinkin' to myself, I came a long way
(I came a long way)
I could've took the wrong exit
And went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I'm just prayin' to God they
Let these songs play (I'm prayin')
I ain't have to follow niggas
Found my own way (Found my own way)
This shit ain't a game so, nigga, don't play
(Nigga, don't play)
Don't never make a bet you know you won't pay
(You know you won't pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch
I'm OJ (Bitch, I'm OJ)
Smokin' good, seat back, play the O'Jays
(Play the O'Jays)

Uh, seat back, Maybach, Luther Vandross
House slippers, gold chains with a damn robe
What I drive today? Mercedes
Or the Land Rove'
Yeah, you thought that was your
Mans but your man's told
Hundreds in my bankroll but all
That glitters ain't gold
I swore my heart done turned cold but
That's just how the game goes
I be in the crib home theater watchin' Django
Thinkin' about the past like
"Why the fuck I come for lame hoes?"
Was dreamin' of fortunes for me
To scheme and extortions
I blow a bag up at Nordstroms
I used to party at Morgan
Them college days I was not as paid
Used to sell weed after class
And work at Fridays
Dorm room, I would burn sage and bump Sade
Bring a baddie back and blow that
Back out 'bout five ways
Oh, yeah, back in my day
Dreamin' of the future
We done came up from the past
Livin' out today like this shit
Gon' be my last, my God

Thinkin' to myself, I came a long way
(I came a long way)
I could've took the wrong exit
And went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I'm just prayin' to God they
Let these songs play (I'm prayin')
I ain't have to follow niggas
Found my own way (Found my own way)
This shit ain't a game so, nigga, don't play
(Nigga, don't play)
Don't never make a bet you know you won't pay
(You know you won't pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch
I'm OJ (Bitch, I'm OJ)
Smokin' good, seat back, play the O'Jays
(Play the O'Jays)

With some bitches that go both ways
(Both ways)
When I seen Nas in Belly, I got a low fade
(I got a low fade)
Iverson talking 'bout practice made
Me grow braids (Made me grow braids)
We was dusty comin' up, shoutout to Locane
(Shoutout to Locane)
Now, I'm in some foreign shit
Takin' up both lanes (Skrrt)
A lot of years they gave them prisons
Still they won't change (They won't change)
I never seen referees up in the dope game
(Up in the dope game)
I feel like Meech, gold Rollie
Couple gold chains (Gold chains)
Blowin' money fast, blowin' money fast
(We blow it) couldn't tell me shit
I counted a couple hundred cash
Don't want to drive it if it ain't
At least two hundred on the dash
(Two-twenty)
Everybody wanna ride with you until you crash
(O oh)

Thinkin' to myself, I came a long way
(I came a long way)
I could've took the wrong exit
And went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I'm just prayin' to God they
Let these songs play (I'm prayin')
I ain't have to follow niggas
Found my own way (Found my own way)
This shit ain't a game so, nigga, don't play
(Nigga, don't play)
Don't never make a bet you know you won't pay
(You know you won't pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch
I'm OJ (Bitch, I'm OJ)
Smokin' good, seat back, play the O'Jays
(Play the O'Jays)
