K-Rino, Ashlei Mayadia - Long Way to Go lyrics

While y'all looking at the hourglass
Thinking that the sand is about to run out
I'm getting prepared to flip it
Over and keep gon' come on

I wish that life came
With personal instruction pamphlets
References and answers for when it gets
Too rough to handle it
Despite slow advancement, I managed
Y'all know who I stand with
He pulled me in when I was
On the cusp of major damage
My life's a puzzle
I haven't matched up all the pieces yet
It seems like something's always missing
I can never complete the set
I'm like a car with no wheels
My circumstances parked it
Plus I got a million dollar plan
With no finance to spark it
We want our blessings overnight
Incredible success
But God don't work for UPS or Federal Express
Better use discretion
Life is an everyday test just
To prove who the best
Fools hit you with set of
Rules that'll use to
Do death then move you to the left
I trip on what the world is showing me
Wow, how many killers have we passed
By in our lifetimes unknowingly
Refuse to catch signs that he throwing me
Maybe I should go and see
Plant a God seed and let it grow in me

I know that you think that
I'm at the end of my road
But, I got a long way to go

"Me can't follow your evil tricks man"
That's like telling someone to sit
Calm with a man
Cuffed to his arm wearing a lip balm
Full of disgust plus a slave to my lust
I can't start trusting people till I
Meet people I can trust
Now I'm acting out of the ordinary
How can we be on the same page if
We not even in the same library
Your perception of the planet is so slanted
To me your like sand
I'm concrete but you keep
Taking me for granted
Now the thing I want the most of all
Is who'll remain here when the posters far
And who'll stick by the closest
When the flow is stalled
In frivolous things you was so involved
Drugged and so enthralled
But no man can boast it all
Once his ghost is called
This composition was conceived in grief
Hand weaved to ease deceit from people
Who secretly disbelieved in me
I needed you and you needed me
Which meant that us needed we
But now the bridge is burned
So I'ma leave it be

I know that you think that
I'm at the end of my road
But, I got a long way to go

What happens to a dream deferred?
And what purpose does it seem to serve when
It's unheard and splattered
Against the curve?
Can you really be redeemed with words?
And murder temptations steaming urge and
Exercise the demon that's submerged?
It's the 4th quarter
They put me in for all to see
My life is on the line
Down by nine and they keep on
Giving the ball to me
They got a full-court press on me
I gotta break it fast
I'm tryna locate a teammate so
I can make a pass
They wanna subject me to doom and harm
I scan the room in calm to the conclusion
That I'm the only one in this uniform
And the entire crowd is booing me
The defense still pursuing me
Out to ruin me, they once loved me
Now they through with me
I started dribbling then I shook this dummy
The ball slipped out of my hand one of them
Rushed over and almost took if from me
It's loud and it's a packed house
I took the shot and before I could see
If I made or missed it I blacked-out

I know that you think that
I'm at the end of my road
But, I got a long way to go
