Ollie - Long Way lyrics

Yeah, woo! I'll do it the long way, yeah!
I ain't taking any shortcuts, yeah, yeah

I started rappin' for a purpose, see
I'm thinkin' it's mine
I started rappin' for the fame
To get some money online
"My career will never last
Much longer than Vine" these auto thoughts
They just roll out like I'm Optimus Prime
Now on the climb and
Finally understanding this shit (okay)
Its politics-overtime-and that's the point
That I missed industry artists
I really hope you catching my drift
Your fake followers and views make
You look like a bitch
Bunch a catfish, simply thirsty for likes
They tryna build a legacy and do
It all in a night (I don't think so)
Game's quick to make assumptions if
You black or you white the fuck it matter
I'm just making real music they like (okay)
Check it, when was it cool to
Start rappin' 'bout Xans?
You understand you got all these
Kids' lives in your hands?
And that's the message you choose to
Spread around with your brand?
Half these rappers out now
I honestly can't stand
Y'all don't make sense
Guess you only want the dollars
That's the problem with the game
They all tryna be some ballers
Hardly care 'bout the fans
Funny cause they put you on
In a split second they can make
Your ass dead and gone
I ain't saying much more
But that's the truth about it (ooh)
Used to tell them I'm gon' blow
And they would always doubt it
(always doubt it) gmail looking over crowded
If you talking hit songs, I
Know a thing about it, yeah

I'll do it the long way (I will)
I'll do it the long way
I ain't taking any shortouts, yeah
Funny, 'cause that's what they all say
I'll do it the long way
I'll do it the long way
I ain't taking any shortouts, yeah
Funny, 'cause that's what they all say

Middle fingers' up
I'm just riding smooth in my lane
Laughing at the rappers tryna get
On Pigeons & Planes
I'm the millions of views
No blogs mention my name
They irrelevant and lost to this YouTube game
They say I'm insane-but, trust me
Homie-numbers don't lie
I've been real nice
Waving as I'm passing them by
Yeah, you flexin' on the Gram
But, wait-those numbers ain't right
You might've fooled a couple of fans
But I'ma bring you to light
You're gettin' exposed
(yeah) and there's not a thing you can do
I spread a real message
More than I can say about you
Call women "women" you call 'em
"hoes" or "a bitch"
Drive a foreign car and got 30k on your wrist
Yeah, we know the story
Thousand rappers did it before
(Yo, what the fuck you sayin', dawg?)
You compensating cause you really
Not poppin' no more
If you making so much then
Why you not on Forbes?
I'm sick of every song mentioning
A Maybach or Porsche testing my limit's
None of these rappers are different (woo)
Ironic how these labels scared to take
A chance 'cause I'm different
Guess it's ready here, rappers spit real
Not fiction behind the scenes
Know that I can hit the
Marks that they missing (I can)
Hope that you listen
I'ma call the game what it is
No one fucks with your vision
'til it benefit's them always stay focused
Writing with my pad and my pen (it's true)
I'm here to take the game over
Not to make new friends oh, nah

I'll do it the long way (I will)
I'll do it the long way
I ain't taking any shortouts, yeah
Funny, 'cause that's what they all say
I'll do it the long way
I'll do it the long way, woo!
I ain't taking any shortouts, yeah
Funny, 'cause that's what they all say
