Latrell James - Distance lyrics
rate meAm I wrong to tell my lil brother follow his dreams
How he gonna feel when his friends get that college degree
Probably like me, got a semester to go
And I don't plan on going back, it don't connect with my goals
Most doubted out my class, I'm the victorious one
Difference is they crossing stages, I'm performing on them
They ain't think, sitting in classrooms was torturing him
Music was the only thing that was important to him,
Arguing with my girl, she want a kid and a house
But I don't fit in that equation, she ain't figure it out
My occupation isn't applications, filling ‘em out
Sometimes making your own path can be the simplest route
Went from jump shots to 16s at 15
Hopefully two Maybachs from 10 speed
You can't have a small head with big dreams
You reap what you sow, and this shit seems.
I heard no when I needed the favors
When I just needed the air they thought I was hinting at paper
If you bullshit now, you gone bullshit later
And that bullshit suits you well! Craig ...!
I'm in it for the long run I'm going for the distance
Asthmatic but excuses ain't a word in my diction.
This is the failures and the honorable mentions
Man, I couldn't keep my ass out of detention
Lord, give me a listen!
Hook:
I had good friends change up, and ex girls hang up
That's why I went out on my own!
Had to tighten my belt, I'm doing this for myself
Don't you ever interfere with my zone!
I need time to get away, get away, get away
Cause you're no good for me!
Get away, get away, get away
Cause you're no good for me!
Am I wrong telling my own family fuck off?
They lucky that they ass ain't getting cut off
Just cause you know a nigga don't mean you give a plate to ‘em
We might have the same blood but still I can't relate to ‘em
I got, family members I ain't seen in some years
Saying they can't wait till I blow with my rapping career.
I ain't giving you a job, and you ain't holding a gun
You wasn't there when I crawled so disappear I when run
My mommas fourth child, I’m the second... son
Writing this book and I'll surely to tell the story when it done
I'm like the most punctual nigga, yet, they’ll still be asking questions
When Karma come around to see me cooling in that Lexus.
Seen some killer slashed out, niggas crying, getting sentenced
Doing life, they leave their baby mommas pregnant
I never made mistakes, mark them all as a lesson
Can't complain shit cause currently I'm progressing
Got my parents and my health that's mother fucking blessing
Told them wait till I get money with my Home alone expression
I'm on the brink of genius and maniac depression
Be working slave hours and end up with sloppy seconds
Time waits for none, you better go and get yours
Keep distractions to a minimum they'll throw you off course!
I know!
On that note, til I'm performing in a foreign town
Kentucky derby it's the wrong time to ... around
Hook:
I had good friends change up, and ex girls hang up
That's why I went out on my own!
Had to tighten my belt, I'm doing this for myself
Don't you ever interfere with my zone!
I need time to get away, get away, get away
Cause you're no good for me!
Get away, get away, get away
Cause you're no good for me!
