Long Road

[Chorus]
Long road
I'm walkin' down it all alone
But my mama always told me to be strong
Can't speak my feelings, so I just put it in a song
Daddy incarcerated, won't know when he comin' home

[Verse 1]
Visitation, we can't even touch his hand
He said, ''Son, just keep your head up''
He said, "When I'm gone, you the oldest, so that make you the man
You ain't lil' no more, so son, you gotta man up"
Mama workin' overtime, I ain't understand
But I can see it in her eyes, she was fed up
Ever since that day, I started thinkin' 'bout the brand plan
Like, I can be the one to get that bread up
I love my brothers who ain't my brothers
Love your mama like she my mama
You love my brothers like he your brother
You love my mama like she your mama
'Member it was cold, we ain't had no sweaters
We thuggin', we don't need no shelter
Now all our flights be Delta
It's truly is amazing how we made it out the weather

[Refrain]
But they don't really know what we came from
No, they don't really know what we came from
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Long road
I'm walkin' down it all alone
But my mama always told me to be strong
Can't speak my feelings, so I just put it in a song
Daddy incarcerated, won't know when he comin' home
Long road
I'm walkin' down it all alone
But my mama always told me to be strong
Can't speak my feelings, so I just put it in a song
Daddy incarcerated, won't know when he comin' home

[Verse 2]
I'm older now, I'm tryin' everything
I even tried lovin', honestly, it's a beautiful thing
I live a hard knock life, I had to make some change
I couldn't work no nine to five, couldn't do minimum wage
So I became a rapper, let's just see how the things go
I'll show you I'm Taleban, just watch how everything blow
I swear, if you listen, I'll leave your mind exploded
I could be hurt, but I'll smile, you'll never notice

[Refrain]
But they don't really know what we came from
No, they don't really know what we came from
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Long road
I'm walkin' down it all alone
But my mama always told me to be strong
Can't speak my feelings, so I just put it in a song
Daddy incarcerated, won't know when he comin' home
Long road
I'm walkin' down it all alone
But my mama always told me to be strong
Can't speak my feelings, so I just put it in a song
Daddy incarcerated, won't know when he comin' home

[Refrain]
But they don't really know what we came from
No, they don't really know what we came from
