N.G.B.

I thought you'd just work hard and follow the steps Stay in school, and never make anyone upset But if you keep your head down, good will come your way, they say In the shape of a bright future some distant day Ya I'm tired of always playing nice 'Cause I know that you never think twice I've come a long way and I'm not going back Fought the bad thoughts and the noise that kept me on some other path And I've come a long way and I'm not going back No I'm not going back Ya you're worried I won't figure it out You won't say it, but the words are written all over your mouth Ya I'm tired of always playing nice 'Cause I know that you never think twice I've come a long way and I'm not going back Fought the bad thoughts and the noise that Kept me on some other path And I've come a long way and I'm not going back No I'm not going back And I said I've come a long way and I'm not going back Yeah, I've come a long way I've come a long way and I'm not going back No I'm not going back I've come a long way A long way
