No Shortcuts

Can't take no shortcuts
I took the longer route
Hoping my talents take me far could buy my mom a house
The only thing that I was missing was them large amounts
But one day ima have it covered like your mama couch
You know that pain right
That's something you could feel
Sometimes you need a little love and not no doctor Phil's
Sometimes it takes some motivation and a little skill
Sometimes you just gotta believe it when nobody will
At times I feel like giving up cause you know life's a bitch
But if you treat her how you posed too then you might get rich
This for my people out here working you know 9-5
Just to put some food the table they put they dreams aside
I never judge em cause I never been yo shoes
Until they hear your story they don't even know
The funny thing about it all is ain't nobody tryna hear it
The devil be working hard but I won't let em kill my spirit
This shit get deep like the Loch Ness
Still I jump up in that water baby watch this
I'm getting closer to my dreams I love the progress
Blood sweat and tears no you could never skip that process
Can't take no shortcuts
I took the longer route
Hoping my talents take me far could buy my mom a house
The only thing that I was missing was them large amounts
But one day ima have it covered like your mama couch
You know that pain right
That's something you could feel
Sometimes you need a little love and not no doctor Phil's
Sometimes it takes some motivation and a little skill
Sometimes you just gotta believe it when nobody will
I don't see know one above me
Do they hate me or they love me
If you do you gotta show me that's for real
Can't be out here in no hurry
Liquor got my vision blurry
And my mom be hella worried
Cause I still keep on working like the day I first started
On a plane I wrote these lyrics right before we departed
Just don't ask me where I'm heading cause that shits not important
Just hold it down until I'm back cause loyalty gets rewarded
I got my feet on the ground
And keep my head in the sky
I say my prayers for I sleep you never know when you'll die
I know a way to make it out but first you just gotta try
Can't even lie sometimes I wish that I could just fly but
Can't take no shortcuts
I took the longer route
Hoping my talents take me far could buy my mom a house
The only thing that I was missing was them large amounts
But one day ima have it covered like your mama couch
You know that pain right
That's something you could feel
Sometimes you need a little love and not no doctor Phil's
Sometimes it takes some motivation and a little skill
Sometimes you just gotta believe it when nobody will
