Yeah it's inverse
Toby Tunji yeah
Worldwide
It's been a long road
We're finally here
We finally made it
This is life so far
It's a long day's journey trying to make it to the light from the dark
Through the ups and the downs
The rights and the wrongs
But you never know when it might be gone
This is who we are true to the heart
Let the music be fuse that'll spark my soul
Til the sky control
We've come so far still got so far to go
Coming to you live from the home of the movie stars jewelry and cars
False prophets and the truly bizarre
The road's rough from close up but when it's viewed from afar
Y'all only see the smiling faces not the bruises and scars
But this is who we are another hip hop group
Singing these scattered dreams and tattered dreams and thrift shop shoes still fresh
They try to judge cause we don't look like each other
But read a page before you judge a book by its cover
I was dreaming when I wrote this song
Trying to find a proper door to bang my closed fist on
Focused calm
Even when the last shred of hope is gone
See every day's another journey and the road gets long
You gotta learn how to pace the trip
Raise your fist
A man is not a fighter 'til he takes a risk
Yo I'm standing on the wire and I may just slip
Somebody hand your boy a lighter let me blaze my spliff
Now I'm zoning
Growing owning each moment
Fearing no one cause I'm my only opponent
Young black and vengeful
Untapped potential
Careful what you say before it comes back against you
I grew up on this hip hop music and grabbed a pencil
Drew my own conclusions and never needed a stencil
Long as my two feet pound the dirt and I'm down to earth
This music is bound to work
This is life so far
It's a long day's journey trying to make it to the light from the dark
Through the ups and the downs
The rights and the wrongs
But you never know when it might be gone
This is who we are true to the heart
Let the music be fuse that'll spark my soul
Til the sky control
We've come so far still got so far to go
So far yet so close the road goes to the horizon and back
Keep an eye out cause I'm on the path
Making sure the future won't collide with the past
Cause ain't no surviving the crash like that
The present's here to be uncertain
The past and the future are merely a diversion
Spent several years slowly steering through that current
Trying not to let school interfere with my learning
No heroes the person I revere
Is the person in the mirror
I'm perfectly aware of my purpose
I persevere
Worse was here and I purged it
What disappeared from the surface was fear
We hold pain like the weight of it's an honor
Can't recognize our face when you take away the problems
Face to face with karma from mistakes we made
But when stakes get raised we chase away the drama
Reaching the pace when greatness contradicts
What they predict we're capable of accomplishing
Let my voice pave my way beyond the future music
Give me straight then place me in your armor
This confidence not a fake
No one belief in external plots to draw our fates nah
This pure external strength and will
To envision the future and wanna make it real
Today
Since so long ago
Since so long ago
Since so long ago
Since so long ago
Since so long ago
Since so long ago
