Latrell James of The 5 Star Generals - Distance lyrics

Verse 1 Am I wrong to tell my lil brother follow his dreams How he gon' feel when his friends get that college degree Prolly 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 cla**, I'm the victorious one Difference is they crossing stages I'm performing on them They ain't think, sitting in cla**rooms 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 16's at 15 Hopefully to Maybach from 10 speed You can't have a small head with big dreams You reap what you sow and this sh** seems I heard "no" when I needed favors When I just needed a ear they thought I was hinting at paper If you bullsh** now, you gone bullsh** later That bullsh** suits you well Craig sager 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 a** out of detention Lord give me a listen Chorus I had good friends change up And ex girls hang up That's why I went out 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 3X, Cuz you're no good for me Get Away 3X, Cuz you're just holding me back Verse 2 Am I wrong telling my own family f** off They lucky that they a** ain't getting cut off Just cuz you know a n***a don't mean you give a plate to em We might got 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 til 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 4th child, i'm the second born son Writing this book and I'll surely to tell the story when it done I'm like the most punctual n***a, yet they still be asking question When Karma come around see me cooling in that Lexus Seen some k**er slash thug n***as cry getting sentenced Doing life, leave they baby momma pregnant I never made mistakes, mark them all as a lesson Can't complain sh** cuz currently I'm progressing Got my parents and my health that's mother f**ing blessing Told them wait til 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 an get yours Keep distractions to a minimum they'll throw you off course On that note, til I'm performing in a foreign town Kentucky derby it's the wrong time to horse around Chorus I had good friends change up And ex girls hang up That's why I went out 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 3X, Cuz you're no good for me Get Away 3X, Cuz you're just holding me back
