Long Way To Go - K Rino

While y’all looking at the hourglass*

Thinking that the sand is about to run out

I’m getting prepared to flip it over and keep gon', c’mon

I wish that life came with personal instruction pamphlets

References and answers for when it gets too rough to handle it

Despite slow advancement, I managed, y’all know who I stand wit'

He pulled me in when I was on the cusp of major damage

My life’s a puzzle, I haven’t matched up all the pieces yet

It seems like something’s always missing I can never complete the set

I’m like a car with no wheels, my circumstances parked it

Plus I got a million dollar plan with no finance to spark it

We want our blessings overnight, incredible success

But God don’t work for UPS or Federal Express

Better use discretion, life is an everyday test

Just to prove who da best

Fools hit ya with set of rules that’ll use to do death

Then move you to the left

I trip on what the world is showing me

Wow, how many killers have we passed by in our lifetimes unknowingly

Refuse to catch signs that he throwing me

Maybe I should go and see, plant a God seed and let it grow in me

(Chorus) Ashlei Mayadia 2x

I know that you think that I’m at the end of my road but I got a long way to go

«Mee cunt’folla ya evil trickz mon»

That’s like telling someone to sit calm

With a man cuffed to his arm wearing a lip balm

Full of disgust plus a slave to my lust

I can’t start trusting people till I meet people I can trust

Now I’m acting out of the ordinary

How can we be on the same page if we not even in the same library

Your perception of the planet is so slanted

To me your like sand, I’m concrete

But you keep taking me for granted

Now the thing I want the most of all

Is who’ll remain here when the post is far

And who’ll stick by the closest when the flow is stalled

In frivolous things you was so involved

Drugged and so in thralled

But no man can bost it all once his ghost is called

This composition was conceived in grief

Hand weaved to ease deceit from people who secretly disbelieved in me

I needed you and you needed me

Which meant that us needed we

But now the bridge is burned, so I’m a leave it be

(Chorus) Ashlei Mayadia 2x

What happens to a dream deferred?

And what purpose does it seem to serve?

When it’s unheard and splattered against the curve

Can you really be redeemed with words?

(I don’t know)

And murder temptations steeming urge?

And exercise the demon that’s submerged?

It’s the 4th quarter, they put me in for all to see

My life is on the line, down by nine

And they keep on giving the ball to me

They got a full-court press on me

I gotta break it fast

I’m tryna locate a teamate so I can make a pass

They wanna subject me to doom and harm

I scan the room in calm to the conclusion that I’m the only one in this uniform

And the entire crowd is booing me

The defense still pursuing me, out to ruin me

They once loved me, now they through with me

I started dribbling then I shook this dummy

The ball slipped out of my hand

One of them rushed over and almost took if from me

It’s loud and is a packed house

I took a shoot and before I can see if I made it

I missed it I blacked-out

(Chorus) Ashlei Mayadia 2x
