Far From Home Lyrics by Dat Throwdest Ghost

#OutsideCityLimits (Mixtape)

2018

[Verse 1]
Ran away at fourteen, but didn't get very far
I was afraid of the world
You know, like most of you are?
Wasn't content with my life
Well, mostly people in it
I ain't gotta get specific
Only knew I craved a change
So I was willing to go and get it
Just a year before this pen and I became friends
I couldn't tell you what those were
Too busy tying loose ends
All I knew was to pretend
Fictitious, though pretentious
Couldn't see a thing for what it was
Didn't have the right lenses
Yet I was so relentless
Looking for that greener, always hopping over fences
My demeanor getting meaner
Those thoughts were growing deeper
They went searching out for hours
Couldn't find me 'til I finally let 'em
Kept on looking for myself
In a world where I knew better
Wasn't happy without control
Didn't wanna go unless I said so
That was the beginning of this growth, yo
[Verse 2]
Turned away at twenty-two, all hell broke loose
Parents lost the house and I thought everything was cool
At this point, my greatest accomplishment was just finishing high school
Working at a dead end job
I mean, what was I to do?
Writing songs all day, i couldn't wait to hit the booth
Talk to my boo all night
She always helped me pull through
I'm always here for you
And wasn't that the truth?
She put up with all that ish
And cried a few tears, too
Had enough on my plate, but I scraped and I moved
Landlord kicked us outta the new place
Then I went homeless for a few
Lost touch with the whole crew
Went missing on purpose
Usually when I go ghost
It's for something truly worth it
In this case, nothing seemed to be working
Every part of me was hurting
And my girl didn't deserve it
She'll never see what I saw
But to me, she was perfect
[Verse 3]
Found a way at twenty-six
Thought I'd finally caught a break
Right place at the right time
I thought I'd finally found fate
But wait, it wasn't all that great
To speak on everything now at twenty-seven
Ever since twenty-eleven, it's been hectic where my head is
A downward spiral, when I've only ever wanted better
I downplayed my good heart
And sacrificed it instead of
Listening to my gut and really growing off that
I was always more worried about everything that I didn't have
Never focused on the fact that reality had always been putty in my hands
Life really is whatcha make it
And it's sad now, 'cause I really, truly understand
All this time, I was missing the Man
Met a whole lotta people, never consisdered 'em as friends
Always joked and said, I'm piecing up this puzzle
Always left me there with one
Never thought to look above 'em
