Dom Kennedy - Long Way Home lyrics

[Intro] I think this is about that time we ride out again We gon' hop on this 101, take it to the 110 Wrap it around to the 10 Exit Crenshaw, maybe exit Arlington Make that right on King Take it on in to Leimert Pull up, you know, watch the stars And just reflect... Yeah [Verse 1] We the fireworks that light up the city It's a rare occasion when I bring both chains out Show 'em what that game 'bout Welcome to the party, let me cross your little name out First beat that came in, first hit that came out I'm the type of guy them R&B girls be singin' 'bout Tryin' to become a man, and all she think I do is be hangin' out Time costs money now, and ain't life funny How I could spill the whole bottle like "Pshh, it's just some hundreds now," We used to be them little n***as, we runnin' now And any time we see a Polo store, we gotta shut it down Cleaned up nicely, golf jacket, bu*ton down A belt with 2 G's on it Let them hoes squeeze on em I make a girl drop to her knees, then she freeze on 'em I tell her we like Method & Mary; all she need on 'em I try to open my heart on these beats, then I bleed on 'em So when I take the long way home, I don't speed on 'em A T-Bone Steak, two eggs, a little cheese on 'em Since a juvenile, I was like "400 Degrees" on 'em Yeah, yeah, if that ain't cold My Jordans from '85, homie If that ain't old I'm the realest n***a out sh**, if that ain't bold And I'm greater then and now sh**, if that ain't flow And I'm shining like a king, b**h If that ain't gold I think I'm gonna take the long way home Yo [Verse 2] We taught each other how to hustle, it wasn't handed down And if you didn't feel me before, you understand it now I used to didn't ask for much, but I demand it now It's people relying on my talent, so I can't panic now I used to love to chase women, but I can't stand it now Your n***a had a Maserati, but he a mechanic now And it ain't nothing I can't have on this planet now All because I took my dreams and I planned 'em out Then I made a wish, then I man'd it out Y'all stood in line, I was standing out I was landin' in, you was wiping out I was stealing bases, you was striking out I earned my spot, they hyped you out They liked your look, then they typed you out They didn't put you on, they psyched you out They didn't mic you up, you just got Tyson'd out So take this home with you I'll probably sock you out before I do a song with you I've been k**in' sh** since "This Where I Belong" with you And I wrote this on the long way with you So take this home with you I know sometimes I make you cry But I belong with you And not speakin's the only way I get along with you And I wrote this on the long way home with you I do appreciate y'all stopping by tonight Everything's going good as you can see As I reach my final destination I just wanted to ("You know" repeated 16x) You know, provide y'all a little inspiration Leimert park is the perfect location {Laughs}Yeah And I go by the name Dom Kennedy Gone
