Long Road

Been a long long road Had no place that I called home Get my backpack n I'm gone Pray I make it where I'm goin' Had some deaths hit close to home Aye Make you look at life a different way Start to question what the teacher say Felt neglected I refused to pray May God forgive me for them days Aye Momma momma habibati You don't know what you mean to me I was young n you'd sing to me Little memories cling to me I thank God your husband treats you well Between us both put you through hell Amazing that you love us still So let me make you a lil deal I promise not to take a life Unless I feel a threat on mine I promise I will never steal Unless my kids don't have a meal I promise I will pray for you N if you pass before I do I'll do my best for the younger two We all tied by the same womb Wallahi Fisabilillah I swear by God and I seek nothing in return but to please him My love Been a long long road Had no place that I called home Get my backpack n I'm gone Pray I make it where I'm goin' Had some deaths hit close to home Aye Make you look at life a different way Start to question what the teacher say Felt neglected I refused to pray May God forgive me for them days Aye Trying times that shit weighs heavy Thinking back to when she left me Hidden blessing I know you've changed n this is not the same you Just reflectin' back to what I've came through Learned that life will humble you Ain't spoke in a month or two I locked myself up in a room Twenty two I had think it through Ain't got no time for no more faulty moves I took the girls n you took luke Damn lukie duke Yea you know I love him too aye Split the house up caused us both to stress I know I caused a pain inside your chest But we just did what we had thought was best And to God, we left the rest I pray there's always barakah (Goodness) in my nea (Intention) Been a long long road Had no place that I called home Get my backpack n I'm gone Pray I make it where I'm goin' Had some deaths hit close to home Aye Make you look at life a different way Start to question what the teacher say Felt neglected I refused to pray May God forgive me for them days Aye
