How Far Lyrics by Oddisee

To What End

2023

[Verse 1]
Now or never I doubt it’s ever that dire
Only motivated when I get close to the fire
Who knows why a me on the ropes is a noble fighter
Associating hope with providing
I come from a long line of barely trying and getting by
You won’t be surprised if you apply and you get denied
Children of compliance got defiant and this is why
It’s hard to sympathize crackers dying from getting high
When crack was in its prime drug abuse was a kin to crime
America’s design on who do and don’t get to lie
In front a grand jury or or a choir of people crying
Somеwhere in between a you and I and thе you is silent or obtuse

[Chorus]
How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go

[Verse 2]
Not using an excuse just correct truth
I was sent to upset you
I got your children standing next to where you left ooh
Moved away from me but to the music you step to
Black flight the only non white in front row
Amir’s feared in light when’s it night y'all want O
Show full good girls hype when I come close
She said she use the vinyl as a surface to blunt roll
Edison ain’t know it would be medicine
Peddled in by the melanin to European’s fleeing their skeletons
In need of a reckoning we’ll I reckon I’m selling them
Addiction in a civil suited garment I settled in
Live from colonies of cotton, tobacco, sugar and rotten planning
Harvesting a promise wasn’t rooted when I was planting
Equity not equality I’m demanding
Your past or my future, who wants it more
Panic

[Chorus]
How far, how far, how far will you go
How far, how far, how far will you go
