Long Way to Go

[00:13.69] [Chorus: Mr. Probz]
[00:14.35] My feet are tired
[00:15.08] And the pain shows
[00:15.69] There's such a long way to go now
[00:16.76] Such a long way to go
[00:18.94] Gotta be strong
[00:20.74] By myself now
[00:21.94] Such a long road
[00:23.74] My souls so cold
[00:25.08] Weaken all my bones
[00:26.34] But I gotta work hard
[00:27.91] Just to reach my goal
[00:29.47] Such a long way to go
[00:31.02] So many miles left
[00:32.22] But I'm here now
[00:34.25] [Verse 1: Joe Budden]
[00:35.06] Please lord something gotta give
[00:36.87] They say for every negative
[00:40.10] There's a positive
[00:41.48] But I ain't positive
[00:42.42] For every buck deposited
[00:44.12] We still in the hood
[00:45.48] Livin' like hostages
[00:47.08] And never mind colleges
[00:48.50] School of HardKnocks scholarship
[00:50.40] Dealing with politics
[00:51.76] I would just self success
[00:53.43] In the store
[00:55.06] If I could bottle it
[00:56.22] But, I ain't a millionaire
[00:57.55] Won't see me in Forbes son
[00:58.45] Life is like a beach chair
[00:59.28] When you can afford one
[00:59.97] Ruger loaded
[01:01.26] Just in case the war come
[01:02.37] Might as well
[01:04.07] Everything is coming to the forefront
[01:06.02] Need a clear head just to think
[01:07.61] And fuck a drink and my two-step
[01:09.85] Nigga, I'm two-steps from a drink
[01:12.14] So pressure either bust pipes
[01:14.58] Or it make diamonds
[01:15.75] No matter how high up the mountain
[01:17.29] I stay climbing
[01:18.62] Freedom I keep chancin'
[01:19.99] So if I fall like Beyonce
[01:21.83] I just get back up and keep dancing
[01:23.48] [Chorus: Mr. Probz]
[01:24.15] My feet are tired
[01:26.13] And the pain shows
[01:27.47] There's such a long way to go now
[01:28.67] Such a long way to go
[01:30.55] Gotta be strong by myself now
[01:32.76] Such a long road
[01:35.46] My souls so cold
[01:36.85] Weaken all my bones
[01:38.46] But I gotta work hard
[01:41.42] Just to reach my goal
[01:43.29] Such a long way to go
[01:45.03] So many miles left
[01:46.45] But I'm here now
[01:48.24] [Bridge: Joe Budden]
[01:48.98] (Yo Mouse, Talk to em)
[01:49.73] Never been a goal that I couldn't reach
[01:50.52] Never been a lesson I couldn't teach
[01:54.84] I done been through the world and back
[01:57.00] Fuck school
[01:57.78] I got all the facts
[01:58.97] All I do is stand tall
[02:01.72] When they got my back against the wall
[02:04.03] When it's game time
[02:05.62] All we do is ball
[02:07.61] My niggas'll be here in one call (one call)
[02:09.09] One call (one call)
[02:11.01] When shit gets heavy
[02:13.03] All I do is pick up the phone
[02:14.67] Ain't gotta go through nothing alone
[02:16.85] When shit gets heavy
[02:18.22] All I do is pick up the phone
[02:20.42] Ain't gotta walk through this world alone
[02:23.18] If I'm on my own
[02:25.79] [Bridge: Mr. Probz]
[02:26.31] Keep on standing on my own 2 feet
[02:27.03] Everytime that I cry
[02:28.86] When I sweat
[02:30.46] When I bleed
[02:32.79] See nothing can stop me
[02:34.52] No nothing except me
[02:36.88] [Chorus: Mr. Probz]
[02:37.58] My feet are tired
[02:38.36] And the pain shows
[02:39.03] There's such a long way to go now
[02:39.73] Such a long way to go
[02:41.74] Gotta be strong by myself now
[02:44.57] Such a long road
[02:47.85] My soul's so cold
[02:48.79] Weaken all my bones
[02:50.38] But I gotta work hard
[02:51.83] Just to reach my goal
[02:53.26] Such a long way to go
[02:54.80] So many miles left
[02:56.57] But I'm here now
[02:57.28] [Verse 2: Joe Budden]
[02:57.91] I'm chasin' after pies
[03:01.37] With bags under my eyes
[03:03.00] You looking at my representative mask
[03:05.05] It's a disguise
[03:06.54] And I don't do things
[03:08.05] Like I used to
[03:08.77] The past is the past
[03:09.57] I'm presently thinkin'
[03:10.44] Bout the future
[03:11.67] Certain niggas bettin' I fall
[03:13.67] I'm speed joggin
[03:14.58] Through the quicksand
[03:16.23] I'm juggling 3 medicine balls
[03:17.93] See I'm coming up
[03:19.78] Used to share a room
[03:20.76] With 2 cellmates
[03:21.52] Now I tower over the devil
[03:23.27] But this ain't Hell Date
[03:24.62] Long way to go
[03:25.96] I see my feet getting blisters
[03:27.10] I dare em
[03:28.27] Talk to me like Mike Richards
[03:29.03] Or play Don Imus
[03:30.66] And think it's cool
[03:31.56] To disrespect our sisters
[03:32.91] I guess we got a while
[03:34.79] 'Fore they actually get the picture
[03:36.23] I think about Virginia Tech
[03:37.72] Think about Katrina
[03:39.27] Niggas that caught Sean Bell
[03:40.72] Slippin' with the nina
[03:42.03] A day before the wedding
[03:43.74] Safety off the weapon
[03:44.53] Though all these things
[03:46.49] Play in my head
[03:47.59] I keep steppin'
[03:48.69] [Chorus: Mr. Probz]
[03:49.56] My feet are tired
[03:50.26] And the pain shows
[03:50.93] There's such a long way to go now
[03:51.84] Such a long way to go
[03:54.54] Gotta be strong by myself now
[03:56.32] Such a long road
[03:59.17] My souls so cold
[04:00.48] Weaken all my bones
[04:02.00] But I gotta work hard
[04:03.84] Just to reach my goal
[04:05.10] Such a long way to go
[04:06.77] So many miles left
[04:08.76] But I'm here now
[04:15.87]
