[Intro] Feeling like Dorothy when she first [Verse] Left Kansas on her journey to see Oz New territory, I just pray I beat the odds Dreams cant be real, it feels like a facade I once dreamt of touching the sky Now I moves amongst the stars Hallucination mixed with patience was the basis Hard work mixed with dedication was the basics Once I tackled that and put the city on my back The next obstacle was the hatred, still we havent made it Im paying dues on this toll called life A lot Ive overcome, outta mind, outta sight My chances were slim but my light shine bright And Rome wasnt built in a day nor a night So I, sipped on this potion called focus Quickly got devoted and I got it all in motion Now Im sailing on this ocean and my phone starts to roam And thats when I start to realize Im a long way from home [Hook] Ive come a long way from those basement dreams And living out that small ass college dorm I made my mind up yesterday, Ill be in a better place Looks like I made it a long way from home [Verse] Im having thoughts of forever The fuel to my fire the people who said never Lifes pretty good but I still wish for better Like hitting the jackpot without pulling on the lever And now, now these cats thinking that Im on So its less contact, less answering the phone Cuz they swear Im getting paid off of penning yall these poems And I tell em that mindset is wrong And they so far gone, Im just out here living Taking advantage of opportunities given Releasing good karma, with the goodest intentions And praying it boomerang like Robin Simone Givens Im just hoping yall get it These food for thought lyrics that Im spitting That were precisely written Tickatickatontickatontonticking They say its impossible but still Im on a mission And a long way from home [Hook] Ive come a long way from those basement dreams And living out that small ass college dorm I made my mind up yesterday, Ill be in a better place Looks like I made it a long way from home [Verse] They say home is where the heart is, I travelled the farthest Looking for the light at the end of the tunnels darkness Beyond the walls of my one room apartment Overcoming fear would appear to be the hardest But I set my target and took an aim I plan to shake the game, wasnt thinking bout the fam Now everybody saying for me it wont be long And thats when I start to realize Im a long way from home [Hook] Ive come a long way from those basement dreams And living out that small ass college dorm I made my mind up yesterday, Ill be in a better place Looks like I made it a long way from home
