Oddisee - How Far lyrics

Now or never I doubt it’s ever that dire
Only motivated when I get close to the fire
Who knows why a me on the
Ropes is a noble fighter
Associating hope with providing
I come from a long line of
Barely trying and getting by
You won’t be surprised if you
Apply and you get denied
Children of compliance got defiant
And this is why
It’s hard to sympathize crackers
Dying from getting high
When crack was in it's prime drug
Abuse was a kin to crime
America’s design on who do and
Don’t get to lie in front a grand jury or or
A choir of people crying
Somеwhere in between a you and I and
Thе you is silent or obtuse

How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go

Not using an excuse just correct truth
I was sent to upset you
I got your children standing next
To where you left ooh
Moved away from me but to
The music you step to
Black flight the only non white in front row
Amir’s feared in light when’s it
Night y'all want O
Show full good girls hype when I come close
She said she use the vinyl as
A surface to blunt roll
Edison ain’t know it would be medicine
Peddled in by the melanin to
European’s fleeing their skeletons
In need of a reckoning we’ll
I reckon I’m selling them
Addiction in a civil suited
Garment I settled in
Live from colonies of cotton, tobacco
Sugar and rotten planning
Harvesting a promise wasn’t rooted
When I was planting
Equity not equality I’m demanding
Your past or my future, who wants it more
Panic

How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go
