LONG HAUL, BABY ❤️!

[Intro]
The 17 years that I’ve spent on this Earth is just something else, man
And I’ve, I’ve barely even started, bro
Like, I thank God for all the breath that he’s given me
All these ideas that are coming to me
Up and there
I’m tryna better humanity, you feel me, I’m, tryna, I’m tryna get right up there man
Even with all my sins I’m tryna, I’m tryna
Help my homies and bring them along for the ride
Okay
No joke, no joke

[Verse 1]
I keep my
Head upright
My soul aligned
We code these rhyme
We go that line
We could just cry
But we just say that we fly
Eat it up through these lies
My only way through the art, man I can’t compromise
Cards of life for my parents ain’t been so divine
So I gotta gap it in, like Ye did his ties
Eyes on the prize, yeah on the rise
Even though I can’t see it now, visual
Mentally it chasing me, uh, miracle
I know you love the cynical old sins of those
Mind and souls corrupt from all the kins who really hold
The burdens of the world commodified for money growth
The Earth depressed as hell and angry men be growing old
Bombs be blowing holes, the youth be stuck and still in flows
The age before them was and wonder where we going though
But I can’t stay the same put faith in Lord and let my soul
Break these curses, lead these souls thru this bumpy road
They try to steal my joy, ideas so we speak in code
‘Cuz y’all don’t know EB, Emmanuel, the seed I soak
I reap and manifest for my homies
‘Cuz all the homes they live all so broken
Heart torn up like X-Men Logan
We ain’t croaking, no joking
My tounge and diction be so golden
So hold it, ‘till the time is right
‘Cuz some jump the shark and then really die
And ascend into the night sky, unfulfilled with the bright light
Like ain’t that quite right? Like RIP Phife
And RIP DOOM, this messing up moods
So lemme switch dude, asking for tissues
What’s the issue, this life in rear view
But I gone steer you, through this commute

[Chorus]
I’m in it for the
Long haul, baby
Watch your step, ‘cuz
These peeps shaky
All Em, shady
Flip like 180
And they act like you crazy for sticking to the race
Some peeps couldn’t keep they pace
Now they dead, in they waste
I pray to God, you ain’t stuck in your way
You ain’t stuck in your way, you better play the game
Or stay your lane, ‘cuz labor for days
I’m in it for the
Long haul, baby
Watch your step, ‘cuz
These peeps shaky
All Em, shady
Flip like 180
And they act like you crazy for sticking to the race
Some peeps couldn’t keep they pace
Now they dead, in they waste
I pray to God, you ain’t stuck in your way
You ain’t stuck in your way, you better play the game
Or stay your lane, ‘cuz labor for days

[Verse 2]
I seen people burn out quick like EA disc
And die lit off a trick who pull up sticks
You set up, burnt that bridge, you backstabbed, licks
They hit you with, three six zed, that slave ship
And your still really tripping with the head over heels
No CTP, regardless, you dead on ‘em pills
You fed up with fears, you just wanna live
Depressed as a hill, rolling on some tears
I’m not really tryna judge, but
You tryna stay a victim, hun
Huh, it’s funny how you run, the moment things get bummy
But lemme tell you sum, all that scrolling get you dummy
All that Twitter plugging get you real crummy
All that Insta stunting get you real money
But what’s the cost, the sanity turn insanity
On top of, fantasy conflict with Hennessy
This jagged B, sword like the Cloud Strife we see
Nugget of some grabba, grinder in the last heat
I’m outta class, I wasn’t learning anything
How to be a worker bee, that the only thing
I’m an artist, kid, I write with heart and dreams
I’m dynamic, kid, never the same speech
Except that faith we need to get outta here
All my homies eat, shout out to Bear for beat
There’s a plan I thank God for really giving me
Writing scripts of life and movies while directing heat
Helping homies on the street, momma land compete
With haters here, lazy, with no plan to see
How others be, but, you an NPC
Killing yourself slow, just to stay in line
But, that ain’t my life
So, so fine, like Halle Berry
Intertwine with my mind

[Chorus]
I’m in it for the
Long haul, baby
Watch your step, ‘cuz (That OutKast?)
These peeps shaky (OutKast)
All Em, shady
Flip like 180
And they act like you crazy for sticking to the race
Some peeps couldn’t keep they pace
Now they dead, in they waste
I pray to God, you ain’t stuck in your way
You ain’t stuck in your way, you better play the game
Or stay your lane, ‘cuz labor for days
I’m in it for the
Long haul, baby
Watch your step, ‘cuz
These peeps shaky
All Em, shady
Flip like 180
And they act like you crazy for sticking to the race
Some peeps couldn’t keep they pace
Now they dead, in they waste
I pray to God, you ain’t stuck in your way
You ain’t stuck in your way, you better play the game
Or stay your lane, ‘cuz labor for days

[Outro]
There is always a hope for the living
Whatever you lose today, so long as you have life
There’s possibility of getting that thing tomorrow
But when you cloud your mind, that I don’t, I think I’ve lost it, and I don’t think I can ever gain it
One: you are making God a liar, who said that there is a, always hope for the living
If your dream don’t come to past the particular time and moment
That doesn’t mean that you are a failure
There are people that try it over, and over, and over, and over again
Because, they said, we got to get it right
Like I said, there are only two things
Either it’s death or life
Everytime in your life, it doesn’t matter whatever it is
Always choose life
