big matt - long road lyrics

[intro]
growin’ up i’ve seen a lot of things in life
i’ve seen the good
i’ve seen the bad
i’ve seen the happy
and i’ve seen the sad
but through it all, i’m just blessed to be alive man

[chorus]
now i’ve been ridin’ down these roads lookin’ for some peace of mind
steady thinkin’ ’bout my future and what would take for me to shine
and i ain’t lookin’ for no friends and i ain’t lookin’ for no pity
trust in no one but my family and my dogs that’s ridin’ with me
now these times are lookin’ hard and the road is lookin’ bumpy
ain’t no fakin’, ain’t no flodgin’, i was raised by the country
carried weight up on my shoulders and it’s been a heavy load
i done came a long way, lookin’ back
it’s been a long road, said it’s been a long road
it’s been a long road, said it’s been a long road

[verse 1]
i was born in the eighties, raised in the nineties
blue bird here brother that’s where you find me
i ain’t worried about no haters i got my dogs behind me
growin’ up i didn’t have it all but i thank god that i had plenty
twenty-two, yeah that’s a blessing, ’cause big matt wasn’t supposed to see twenty
life in the sticks was all that i know, straight from the rip, that’s where i called home
grew up with a mom and dad who gave me a place i could call my own
tryin’ to get my soul in check ’cause dog we livin’ in evil days
momma told me watch the boys ’cause most the boys got evil ways
that’s why lately i’ve been solo ’cause nowadays they be on them no-no’s
one day they show you love then the next day they would gossip like h0m-s
it is what it is i guess, you make mistakes, you live and learn
things don’t come on a silver platter, ’cause in this life good things are earned
we was taught to work hard, ain’t had no time for slack
show love to our brothers and sisters and give the shirts off our backs
i tried to stay in church, lord knows i’m far from perfect
i know god’s got a purpose, he didn’t send me to be worthless

[verse 2]
now i’ve seen the good and i’ve seen the bad, seen the happy, seen the sad
used to always wonder if i’d ever meet the dreams i had
before the mics and the keyboards all we had was tape recorders
dropped out of school at eighteen we wasn’t good at takin’ orders
it seemed we couldn’t do nothin’ right, we always had to battle up
no one understood our hearts, all we ever had was us
everybody was doin’ their work while me and my brother was makin’ beats
’til i finally left that school because i couldn’t take the heat
now that i’m in music seem like n0body want to see me shine
but it ain’t no thing to me, i’m tellin’ all haters, catch up with your kind
’cause my kind, they love to fish, my kind, they love to hunt
meanwhile, them boys ain’t keepin’ it real, they just love to front
i learned that friends come and go but family lasts a lifetime
my soul is full of hurt that’s why i pick up the pen and write rhymes
we dropped a couple of tracks, next thing you know, they was all demandin’
people tried to bring me down, but they failed dog and i’m still standin’
