johniepee - this far lyrics
[verse 1]
yeah
they say a man makes plans and god laughs
so it seems like i’m the runnin’ joke, among the billion other folk
that’s why i fill the pinot up in a tall glass
and channel every l into a dub when it’s so dark, the candle’s lit
watch the flames fl!cker and dance
+sigh+ sigh to myself, chin in my hands
i didn’t come this far just to come this far
hindsight 2020, i want that sh+t in advance, though
wish i could see the path ahead of me
wish i could see if i’ma succeed, or am i wastin’ my time
’cause lately it’s been feelin’ harder to breathe
and i’m just hopin’ that it’s all in my mind, so every second of mine
i’m tryna work it to the bone, that’s my m.o
remember when i first laid a rhymе, showed a demo
everybody told mе you could k!ll if you only put
your heart and soul into it, so why the f+ck am i tryna change
[chorus]
i didn’t come this far just to come this far
didn’t fight this long just to fall apart
didn’t reach these heights just to fall back down
again, no, no
i didn’t walk this road just to stop right here
didn’t climb these walls just to disappear
i didn’t face my fears just to let you down
again, no, no
i ain’t givin’ up, nah (yeah)
[verse 2]
tryna be like superman and save the day
but the carrot on the stick is out my reach upon this paper chase
so i been feelin’ really stupid and this ain’t the way
n0body bothered tellin’ me that money ain’t the thing to hate
the root of all evil and if you love it
you’re a greedy fat f+cker in deep with the black covenants
evil and wack, troublin’, demons, you back+rubbin’ ’em
heapin’ the stacks, usherin’, heathens who lack governance
but i ain’t had the money in a blue moon
my once chance, turn my mind round from a lack
to abundance, the best things in life are free
time is money and money buys time, can’t you see
that you’re scared of bein’ poor, scared of bein’ rich
either way we all gon’ end up sleepin’ in a ditch
i never thought that i could be the man with millions at bay
i’m only strivin’ for the wealth, so i can give it away, ayy
[chorus]
i didn’t come this far just to come this far
didn’t fight this long just to fall apart
didn’t reach these heights just to fall back down
again, no, no
i didn’t walk this road just to stop right here
didn’t climb these walls just to disappear
i didn’t face my fears just to let you down
again, no, no
i ain’t givin’ up, nah
[bridge]
i was never taught how to be rich
i was thrown off the deep end
i was always told i could be this
as long as you pray and believe it
i was told fear was a straight lie
to let it fall away to the wayside
perfect peace for the long ride
stay strong, my son, and may you have a long life
[chorus]
i didn’t come this far just to come this far
didn’t fight this long just to fall apart
didn’t reach these heights just to fall back down
again, no, no
i didn’t walk this road just to stop right here
didn’t climb these walls just to disappear
i didn’t face my fears just to let you down
again, no, no
i ain’t givin’ up, nah
[outro]
i ain’t givin’ up
oh+oh, oh
i hate givin’ up
oh+oh+oh+oh
