Long Way Up Lyrics

(Yeah it's a long way up, a long way tryna find who to trust)

Yo the road to excellence ain't trouble free

'Cause I seen cards decline the universe been testing me

Yeah it's a long way up

A long way tryna find who to trust

I know that patience is a must

I got estate dreams that's bigger than these daydreams

I keep my eyes open lucid dreaming tryna change schemes

We all got the same reach but tell me who going to really stretch like this

Everyone ain't meant to lead

And that's okay 'cause that's me nigga

They could never try and tell me what to be nigga

A small town kid different 'cause I dream bigger

I took some L's they ain't know though

But always bounced back like a yo-yo

I was 18 on road like commuter

Said fuck a university, got to have it sooner

I wasn't looking for degrees

Already knew this path ain't guaranteed

They tell me take a break 'cause I'm overly focused

I still ain't make it got to stick with the motion

I'm never comfortable with peace

It's always ways to be a better me

Yo and the road to excellence ain't trouble free

'Cause in this evil world ya soul the only thing you need

And it's a long way up

A long way tryna change who you was

Yo the road to excellence ain't trouble free

'Cause I seen cards decline the universe been testing me

Yeah it's a long way up

A long way tryna find who to trust

I know that patience is a must

I just been tryna get some thous up

Ya got to know this from the ground up

It's jealousy around us

When I say the ground I mean the basement I ain't in no trenches

I never lied to sell my stories

Real shit make them listen

I ain't affected by no fake image

They got facades and get they plays from gimmicks

I know we play to win it

I know we play to get that upper hand

'Cause I ain't bout to be what coulda been or shoulda been

That's just the way it is I think this life's a hit or miss

It come with cautions but they know a nigga love the risks

I manifested it

You boys done slept on it

If I was you I would've watched and put my bets on it

That's just the way it is I took this crown from many men

They tried to cut my throat and take a soul that I won't give

I never let them in

Feel like a veteran

Been balling top of my class I need my letterman

Yo and the road to excellence ain't trouble free

'Cause in this evil world ya soul the only thing you need

And it's a long way up

A long way tryna change who you was

Yo the road to excellence ain't trouble free

'Cause I seen cards decline the universe been testing me

Yeah it's a long way up

A long way tryna find who to trust

I know that patience is a must

(Yeah it's a long way up, a long way tryna find who to trust)
