The Long Way

[Intro: Kojey Radical]
(Kxlla K)
Uh
Check
Yup
Uh

[Verse 1: Kojey Radical]
Next year I'ma have way more decimals
My income residual
Dressed up or dressed down, we never do the minimal
Subtle but it's custom, the stones look invisible
Silent when we lift off, it's foreign but electrical
Push so many buttons, made my right hand illegible
Left hand was magic, I could click and make him vegetable
Skip the Twitter fingers, now it's pressure if I mention you
They did that boy foul, but the situation technical
Can't die for nyash, but if I'm hungry, need a leg or two
My legacy ahead of me, my lane switch a better view
My bitch lookin' edible, my problems numerical
We laugh offa' them, hahaha, so hysterical
I remember being broke as a joke with a pocket full of hope and a prayer for a miracle
It get very, very scary with no shit to lose, I would do the most for the minimal

[Pre-Chorus]
Ha, for real
Mama told me that this life for real
Now mi can't believe that my life for real
I remember when mi rob, haffi steal

[Chorus]
The long way, the long way, the long way
We come way too far and took the long way
The long way, the long way
We come way too far and took the long way

[Verse 2: Blanco]
In the rain like I ain't check the weather
Beat it like a cypher but it's a capella
Pathogenic pagans, call them salmonellas
Nelly with a cut, I call it a dilemma
Hook 'em like it's cuttlefish
Trenches with the puddles in
Often all the time, I guess the people got me huddlin'
I was doin' all that extra time, I got them muddles in
Bro had a star, on that occasion, got the shuttles in
Diamonds on my chain, guess I'm a shiny slave
Monkey, but I barred him on a verse, let me find a frame
Rap about escape, but I'ma die in vain
Married to the game, but I'm lookin', call me Mike and Dave
Sod is on on his last lap
Spittin', but he can't rap
Said I run the block, I'm steady pacin' 'til that car crash
Quarter on my knee, I fled the scene, I watched that car dash
Smart with a whip, I hit the brake and then the fast gas
I don't do the most for the money, sold my soul for the money, but I lose it all and say a prayer
Hidden with the smokes to the money, disappear into the smoke and then I peer again, it's crystal clear

[Chorus]
The long way, the long way
We come way too far and took the long way
The long way, the long way
We come way too far and took the long way

[Pre-Chorus]
Ha, for real
Mama told me that this life for real
Now mi can't believe that my life for real
I remember when mi rob, haffi steal

[Chorus]
The long way, the long way, the long way
We come way too far and took the long way
The long way, the long way
We come way too far and took the long way
