R.O.E. - Long Way From Home lyrics

[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 can't 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 haven't made it I'm paying dues on this toll called life A lot I've overcome, outta mind, outta sight My chances were slim but my light shine bright And Rome wasn't 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 I'm sailing on this ocean and my phone starts to roam And that's when I start to realize I'm a long way from home [Hook] I've come a long way from those basement dreams And living out that small a** college dorm I made my mind up yesterday, I'll be in a better place Looks like I made it a long way from home [Verse] I'm having thoughts of forever The fuel to my fire the people who said never Life's pretty good but I still wish for better Like hitting the jackpot without pulling on the lever And now, now these cats thinking that I'm on So it's less contact, less answering the phone Cuz they swear I'm getting paid off of penning yall these poems And I tell 'em that mindset is wrong And they so far gone, I'm just out here living Taking advantage of opportunities given Releasing good karma, with the goodest intentions And praying it boomerang like Robin Simone Givens I'm just hoping y'all get it These food for thought lyrics that I'm spitting That were precisely written Tick-a-tick-a-ton-tick-a-ton-ton-ticking They say it's impossible but still I'm on a mission And a long way from home [Hook] I've come a long way from those basement dreams And living out that small a** college dorm I made my mind up yesterday, I'll 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 tunnel's 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, wasn't thinking bout the fam Now everybody saying for me it won't be long And that's when I start to realize I'm a long way from home [Hook] I've come a long way from those basement dreams And living out that small a** college dorm I made my mind up yesterday, I'll be in a better place Looks like I made it a long way from home
