Текст песни Long Walk Home - The Emsee

The more I try to follow this consistency of putting out so much music
To keep momentum going
And before I knew it, I found myself complaining about
What I, what I felt like I deserve, when they all ask you out
You don't wanna hear that
You are upset 'cause you're not where you wanna be
They wanna hear about your life
So, life is giving me more thing to talk about, you know
You know I'm ready to adopt it

They say, "Mat, you don't rap like the average dude"
I'm like, "Y'all need to go and change your attitude"
Y'all be sleeping on me, I'm glad you snooze
'Cause in order to win big, you have to lose
Raise or fold? I'm so confused
I have my youth and my dreams and my cash to lose
Feel like this is something that I have to do
And I refuse to go and do another aptitude test

At a place that I don't even want to work at
The pay's nice but I would rather make nerd rap
I'd rather flip a word like you've never heard it flipped
I'm Daniel-son and this shit is another tournament
I put it on wax, y'all can wax off
You're facing Jason Voorhees with his mask off
I know you hate it when I rap about rap
But every time I start complaining, y'all complain about that

A lil' stressed, I should probably relax
But I've come too far just to go and turn back
Could go to school, get a job and be set
But then again I'd be another name you forget
A decade later, I'm still not paid
But nothing beats the rush of being on stage
This could be my very last poem
But I'm just not ready for that long walk home

They say, "Mat, you don't rap like the average dude"
'Bout to hold a sign saying that "I'll rap for food"
I've been craftin' tunes a third of my life
I want to murder these mics and have a mortgage and wife
I refuse to pick, saw my reflection in the toilet bowl
I was like "You's the shit", I'm too legit
Someone tell these pricks in the suits to clean their ears out
This fucking kid is the truth

Nowadays, I write a rap and scrap it, turn it down, trash it
Dope bars, but I've already rapped it
I turned my life into my passion, it's not great
I'm basically waiting for shit to happen, tragic
You should never force it
I try to take my time working and make sure that it's perfect
That mind state is why you all got ahead of me
I don't sweat that, time is my real enemy

A lil' stressed, I should probably relax
But I've come too far just to go and turn back
Could go to school, get a job and be set
But then again I'd be another name you forget
A decade later, I'm still not paid
But nothing beats the rush of being on stage
This could be my very last poem
But I'm just not ready for that long walk home

See I don't think like the average dude
I gave y'all steak, and you chose the faster food
And I'm not mad at you, everybody grows up
There's stuff that we just have to do
But I told you, I'm not the average Joe
I could throw in the towel or adapt and grow so
It doesn't matter if the world is reciting my art
I did what felt right in my heart, uh

A lil' stressed, I should probably relax
But I've come too far just to go and turn back
Could go to school, get a job and be set
But then again I'd be another name you forget
A decade later, I'm still not paid
But nothing beats the rush of being on stage
This could be my very last poem
But I'm just not ready for that long walk home
