Long Way from Home

Alone this shit gets hard itu0027s a long road Iu0027m old enough to know what I want though Get close, Iu0027m movinu0027 on, Iu0027ve been gone, oh A long way from home (a long way from home) Yeah Imagine laying down and having every issue that youu0027ve ever had erased Like it never happened Now imagine waking up and having everything youu0027ve ever wanted and youu0027ve always had it Now tell me Who would you be then? What would you do differently? Without your memories of struggle would you be guided to live your life vividly? Maybe so, but whatu0027s joy without a memory of pain? You wouldnu0027t know how to appreciate it When you start to feel a void you wouldnu0027t know why or how to alleviate it Lookin at your obstacles like “Lord I need to make it!” Youu0027re feelinu0027 vacant, but donu0027t live your life abbreviated I understand how it can be sometimes Life is love, but to live we have to weep sometimes We get hurt, we fall down and we bleed sometimes But itu0027s never been a race so walk and breathe sometimes, shit And be careful what you wish for The same things you take for granted are the things people fish for You have a car with a bent door But someones out there walking when it rains while your indoors, damn And Iu0027m not sayin compare your shortcomings ‘Cause everybody feels the thunder when the storms coming People stressinu0027 ‘cause they donu0027t know if thereu0027s more cominu0027 Youu0027ll never grow if you donu0027t take a chance, endure something Iu0027m sayinu0027 Your lifeu0027s a puzzle piece And everything that you encounter in life shapes you in some degree Thatu0027s why sometimes you just fit with somebody But after many years of life yu0027all grow apart or fit uncomfortably ‘Cause everybody goes through life different So at the time yu0027all may have fit, but after struggle you see life different Yu0027all went through the same shit with different eyes, vision, and feelings Youu0027re a different you in this time period Alone this shit gets hard itu0027s a long road Iu0027m old enough to know what I want though Get close, Iu0027m movinu0027 on, Iu0027ve been gone, oh A long way from home (a long way from home) Alone this shit gets hard itu0027s a long road Iu0027m old enough to know what I want though Get close, Iu0027m movinu0027 on, Iu0027ve been gone, oh A long way from home (a long way from home) Imagine waking up and being told that you ainu0027t shit because your skin tones a darker pigment Imagine being told your struggle is imaginary They hardly get it, itu0027s hard to vision, or they part defend it People struggle to see the pain that your heart has been in They wanna argue, it starts division And everybody wants to act like it ainu0027t real, ‘cause it ainu0027t something that they goin through If it ainu0027t their problem then itu0027s hard to listen We all are hypocrites, in the dark You say all cops arenu0027t bad, but treat us like we are? Sometimes we cry wolf, that never gets us far We joke yu0027all laugh, yu0027all joke, we scarred, huh? Sometimes I wonder what itu0027d be like? What if you got an envelope with no names, but words that describe Not physical features but what someone does in their free time Could you really guess their race? I think not. Yeah So tell me who you are to try to tell me I am worthless! You do not determine who I am or my purpose! You will not treat me like a clown at a circus Treat me like I am a person I am a King, I am the voiceless And I need a cure for this feeling in my heart it feels just like poison.
