Long Way (feat. Marlena)

I use my story from my past To make a story in the future It's funny cause my presence being more presents than a present I got used to Those days when they would look to me I became like a book to read With stories by the twos and threes My pain showing up through my teeth when I showed my smile That's was my lying through my teeth If you know my style Days wondering where when why and how But I'm here now But I came a long way I'm not what I'm supposed to be But I'm not what I used to be And I know this one thing for me Is that I came a long way I'm not a victim I'm a survivor I'm not bragging it's my testimony I know this one thing for me Is that I came a long way I went from sleeping in whips To renting the whips I used to sleep in To making them pay me for rooms to sleep in The cycle if life Funny how these days and these nights Turn the to sun to the moon That means I'm light in dark nights The things they used to do to me Sit rape and abusing me Emotionally confusing me But look at what that would do for me Make avenues to cruise the streets And now you know that dude with heat He play my songs loud on repeat cause he been through the same as me That's not just a recycled line That's actually thoughts inside my mind The way that people tell me how my words would change their parading I went from Sucidial being abused in my garden house Having the option to put a garden outside my houses From putting locks on the fridge so I couldn't eat To inviting people to my house to enjoy the feast I used to want to die Until I got show Then prayed for life let me tell you now what I got Got beauty for ashes Joy and not sorrow Life to live and now borrow Purpose and I can't wait for tomorrow I'm not what I'm supposed to be But I'm not what I used to be And I know this one thing for me Is that I came a long way I'm not a victim I'm a survivor I'm not bragging it's my testimony I know this one thing for me Is that I came a long way
