Kip Ye' - Longway Lyrics

I've done it all myself
Rise to the top just to calm myself
I, I've come a long way
I, I've come a long way

I, feel like I don't have a soul
Love in my mind but my heart is cold
I, I've come a long way
I, I've come a long way

Yeah feel like I don't have a place to really call my home
Rest in peace Aretha Franklin she's the queen of soul
Rest in peace to all my people that I've ever known
Rest in peace to Nipsey why the hell he had to go?
I got issues that's just part of who I am
There's some things that I do that you would never understand
There's some things that I say that you would never comprehend
There's some things that I write that you can't see without a lens
And I got love for people so I stay out in the field
But I can't never open up or tell em how I feel
I express through it my music I'm just asking you to hear it
If you never felt some pain I hope you feel it in my lyrics and I know

I've done it all myself
Rise to the top just to calm myself
I, I've come a long way
I, I've come a long way

I, feel like I don't have a soul
Love in my mind but my heart is cold
I, I've come a long way
I, I've come a long way

Acquiring some patience not an issue with no feelings involved
And if I ever got an issue I don't know who to call
And God I know you hear me praying but do you hear me at all?
Wait do you even love me at all?
You see I don't doubt his greatness or his power of will
But I don't understand why the innocent getting killed
Little children cannot even go to school without thinking
They won't even make it home and this life and it is real
A lot of people relate a lot of y'all just delay
They use our taxes and dollars to send our people away
Or lock us up in a prison with crimes never committed
Imagine you being judged cause your skin tone a little different
Imagine you being judged and they make you part of the system
Label you as a criminal guilty with no conviction
I already know whats up but I always pray for love
And I don't know who to trust but I always pray for love and I know

I've done it all myself
Rise to the top just to calm myself
I, I've come a long way
I, I've come a long way

I, feel like I don't have a soul
Love in my mind but my heart is cold
I, I've come a long way
I, I've come a long way

I've come a long way yeah I've come a long way
I've come a long way I've come a long way
I've come a long way
