Oren Yoel - So Far lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, it's Inverse Toby, Tunji, yeah Worldwide It's been a long road We're finally here We finally made it [Hook: Toby & Tunji] This is life so far It's a long day's journey tryin' 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 [Verse 1: Tunji] Comin' to you live from the home of the movie stars, j**elry 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 Singin' 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 [Hook: Toby & Tunji] This is life so far It's a long day's journey tryin' 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 [Verse 2: Toby] So far yet so close, the road goes to the horizon and back Keep an eye out cause I'm on the path Makin' 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 Tryin' 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 Reachin' 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 [Outro] Since so long ago...
