Tsu Surf - Long Way From Home lyrics

Back before the ratchets
Only thing that mattered
Was basketball practice
Before I was savage, pussy barely mattered
Before the pill habit's
And slim bitches with baby heads tatted
Project livin', penny-pinchin'
Not to mention, mommy didn't have it
Before I got addicted
Around this time I could wake up
And find grandma in that kitchen whippin'
Whippin' wasn't no different bitches
I still had a dream she put my belt tight
Face kisses and vasoline
I ain't have a 9 and it ain't have a beam
Feel like another life
Them hard times wasn't light
Before I ever knew you could triple
It if you cut it right
Way before a nigga ever pushed me
Before I knew the sweetest joy
Next to gettin' pussy

I was precious then and had genuine friends
Never got back-stabbed never tasted revenge
Way before I ever left the porch
I tend to roam now
I'm a long way from home now
I was precious then and had genuine friends
Never got back-stabbed never tasted revenge
Way before I ever left the porch
I tend to roam now
I'm a long way from home now

Way before the fame, before the hate
Before the love
Before the games, I couldn't aim
Before the beef, before the Bloods
Me and mommy, no xanax or molly
I was 12 prolly, year later I saw a body
13 witnessed a homi, it all changed
Bitches, problems, pressure
Drugs – it all came new rules, they told me
"One bang then we all bang"
Protocol, homies caught bids waitin'
On bro to call mind full of action scenes
I ain't tryna show 'em all
Just tryna be open y'all
Jacket zipped up waitin' on snow to fall
Reverend said the good die young
Damn, I hope he wrong
'Cause, I ain't felt young since a youngin
If the Reaper ain't at the door
He damn sure comin'
Way back when sleep came easy
Or around the time I did that nigga greasy
These movie clips ain't Netflix
Shit, I ain't slept since

I was precious then and had genuine friends
Never got back-stabbed never tasted revenge
Way before I ever left the porch
I tend to roam now
I'm a long way from home now
I was precious then and had genuine friends
Never got back-stabbed never tasted revenge
Way before I ever left the porch
I tend to roam now
I'm a long way from home now
