Текст песни Long Way Now - Damez

Long way now from the boy I used to know
Seeds planted too soon, was forced to grow
I can't take no day off 'til this pay off
All those nights that I stayed up
Straight out the country, not a lot of money
But a little change that I saved up
I ain't got a wishing well or a genie
But I been dreaming my whole life
Know if my grandfather could see me
He'd be smiling at the sight

One thing, one thing I know
It's been a long time and I showed a lot of love
That I won't get back, probably won't get back, no no
One, one thing I know
It's a pretty big world, we all need some help
But don't you ever dare neglect yourself (Woo!)

No fun if it ain't a little risky (Hey!)
Please pour me up some more whisky (Hey!)
Ain't quite there yet so I gotta keep grindin'
I'ma star so I gotta keep shinin' (Ima shine)
Got (What you got?) plenty haters tryna knock me
But I swear I won't them stop me
And I gotta go hard until it's my season
Swear to God that I'll never stop dreaming
(Ooooooh) (Hey!) What you doin'?
I'm rollin', I'm rollin' (Everybody say)
(Ooooooh) (Hey!) It gets hard
But you gotta keep goin', keep goin' (Hey!)

Long way now from the boy I used to be
I didn't let all that trauma get the best of me
Daddy never thought he'd be older and all alone, no
He said hold on to your heart, it's the only heart you own
Not quite what he planned
God bless that man who can't get out of his own head
Do what we can
I understand why we don't just let go instead
I got my whisky and my Backwood
Know I ain't a stranger to nothin' rough
Outside my town I stood my ground
Been ten long years still ain't gave up (Tuh)

One thing, one thing I know
It's been a long time and I showed a lot of love
That I won't get back, probably won't get back, no no
One, one thing I know
It's a pretty big world, we all need some help
But don't you ever dare neglect yourself (Woo!)

No fun if it ain't a little risky (Hey!)
Please pour me up some more whisky (Hey!)
Ain't quite there yet so I gotta keep grindin'
I'ma star so I gotta keep shinin' (Ima shine)
Got (What you got?) plenty haters tryna knock me
But I swear I won't them stop me
And I gotta go hard until it's my season
Swear to God that I'll never stop dreaming
(Ooooooh) (Hey!) What you doin'?
I'm rollin', I'm rollin' (Everybody say)
(Ooooooh) (Hey!) It gets hard
But you gotta keep goin', keep goin' (Hey!)

(Ooooooh)
And after ten long years I'll still be rollin', I'm rollin'
(Ooooooh)
I know it gets hard but you gotta keep goin', keep goin'
