Long Way Lyrics by Paul the Messenger

2020

[Chorus]
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
[Paul Verse]
I know that I've been learning
I see an opportunity
To lower my burdens
Couldn't really see it at first 'cause
I was distracted
Passive, I wasn't certain
Fog getting thicker by the minute
So I went outside
Had to be replenished by the sunshine
Don't know how much longer I'll be in it
Waiting for the nighttime
I even considered taking my life
Shocker Shocker
I was weak and fragile
Had no honour
Called my father, I was vulnerable
I felt like I couldn't take any pain
For much longer
Even good days were a horror
Nowadays, I see the point of it all
Though I'm not done with the season
I feel I must carry on
I cannot turn back
If I'm here then there must be a reason, yeah
[Chorus]
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
[Ironik Verse]
You know some days
You wanna give it all up
Some days thinking
Is it all luck
Daydreaming about the days it was love
Doubting myself
Have I still got the touch?
Is it all up
I'm a business man
Still I don't watch no business fam
I just care about my business plan
Want it all then you gotta risk it man
Risk it, damn
Look, more time put it in a rap how I feel
I don't regret contracts and deals
But read what you sign
I'm just keeping it real
And please don't forget about
Your taxes and bills
Yeah, I've come a long way
From my bedroom recording
But I'm still awkward
But for the love of the music
I push forward
And that's all that's important, yeah
[Chorus]
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
Long way 'round
Ain't no shortcuts
I ain't gonna turn around
I ain't come this far
Only to come this far
And I know that
Better days are coming 'round
