force+motion - came a long way lyrics

[verse 1:]
pouring spirits on the terrace staring off as the sun appears
mourning in my thoughts drinking back to my younger years
that’s when i saw myself in the cup like it’s become a mirror
a reflection of everything that brought me here
i’m going all the way back to drawing chalk on the sidewalk
deciphering silhouettes on the walls of my mind’s vaults
looping my regrets like i’m stuck in a time warp
but i’m happy to find myself here when i’m lost
among departed people who in the moment i didn’t trеasure
i wrote ’em into my lyrics so that thеy live forever
i’m seeing everyone together each and every christmas
the day before we had the feast of the seven fishes
and i’m sitting reminiscing about my grandparents
the best examples in life i swear you can’t compare it
they’re reason i’m here
and shedding tears between my prayers
’cause family is what a real man cherish
come on

[chorus:]
we came a long way
made it through a lot of hard days
all the pain that we overcame (always remember)
yo+ we came a long way
[verse 2:]
i remember tagging with my crew crawled in tunnels like boot camps
remember 50 cents on the dollar for food stamps
lost and found shoes in the squalor we threw hands
breaking down the doors with my crush at the school dance (haha!)
growing out of the trenches with mad dreams
fighting for my chance upstate in the rap scene
then being devastated by the death of man reeze
like feeling every single f+cking step of a stampede
and that’s around the time i first took the train to the city
hit up the boroughs spitting game like i learned from biggie
boiling in h+ll’s kitchen
taking l’s in bushwick, i almost fell victim
but listen
i was a smooth operator like kane or sade
i knew it from the day i shared the stage with r.a
pre+gaming playing john blaze on the way to barclay’s
i brought that mafia style thought i was jada or rae
yeah i came a long way!

[chorus]

[verse 3:]
when it’s all over do we sleep for eternity?
or will we all meet again healed in eternal peace?
i’m reading words but can’t conceive em internally
lemme let the beat decide where it’s leading me verbally
if time was currency i used to be the richest
slowly losing my fortune, now every moment it’s slipping
i’m overspending, only to leverage my own existence
holding all the risk but never knowing the limit
you can see it all standing at the highest precipice
and still overlook all the vital messages
finding peace inside is my directive and
my soul is warm amid the static like the vibe a vinyl pressing gives
how much time is left to live?
we never know
gotta make the most when it’s out our control
a lot of plots will twist before the story is told
just remember where you started, think how far you can go
[singing outro:]
and it’s like that
and it’s like that
and it’s like that (oooh)
and it’s like that
i’m out!
