lirik lagu knox hill - long way home

[verse 1: knox hill]
i grew up a wild child, throwin’ bottles out a glass house
‘fore i turned eighteen, mama kicked my ass out
told me pack my bags, now i’m mad
called a cab, took that road, and never looked back
left lane overtake, and i never looked past it
knew who i was, i wasn’t mad
i walked those miles, and bust my ass
over time, it got hard to keep the lights on
it’s hard to put a price on your family, relyin’ on the man in me
i drive through this insanity, survive when no one handed me a pole
to dig me out this hole, steady diggin’ for this coal
yeah, it’s cold, and i know i’m still a long way from home
but when that soul gives us cold beer and cheers from my kids
i look at them, and hope for years i couldn’t get
all these tears that this paycheck will lift
but funny, when that coal changed, it preyed into my lungs, blacker than these stubs
it’s hard to live when the doctor gave me months

[chorus: shelby morgan]
driftin’ down, i’m sick of this whole town
[?] can’t pause my doubt
these roads are long, don’t know what’s wrong, but i’ve been thinkin’
withhold me, i just wanna be alone
it’s been a long d~mn day, i can feel it on my soul, so
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
withhold me, i just wanna be alone
it’s been a long d~mn day, i can feel it on my soul, so
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
we can ride all night, take the long way home
[verse 2: knox hill]
i was raised on that southeast side
when these things go south, you look east, but ain’t so sunrise
the concrete streets wear the soles of a single mom
workin’ two jobs, two kids, for too long
that they daddy been gone, gettin’ high, yeah, i’m downtime
but i’m tryna survive, and do what’s right for ’em
all the nights i fight to keep the lights on
teach ’em right, and here this life, i sacrifice to keep their nights warm
he’s all a’s in school, stayin’ out of gangs
and who he hangs with ain’t no fools, i’ve never seen him break a rule
he told me he’s gon’ be a doctor, look after mama proper, he’s even good at soccer
i think about where he’s headed now, finally found a good girl
maybe settle down, wedding vows, find a house, and get a cell
i still remember that night, i could see those [?] nights when a stray bullet took his life

[chorus: shelby morgan]
driftin’ down, i’m sick of this whole town
[?] can’t pause my doubt
these roads are long, don’t know what’s wrong, but i’ve been thinkin’
withhold me, i just wanna be alone
it’s been a long d~mn day, i can feel it on my soul, so
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
withhold me, i just wanna be alone
it’s been a long d~mn day, i can feel it on my soul, so
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
we can ride all night, take the long way home
[verse 3: knox hill]
let me take y’all back when i first met rap, and the boombox slapped in the kitchen
first record i had, i scribbled that pad, i put it on wax, and i lit it
from the open mics to the lunchlines to the b~sides
when it’s crunch time, let the beat ride, and our brunch rhymes, and these cold cuts, i bovine
battle rappin’ the faint of night, prayin’ i would make it, i’ll be alright
these headphones are my only friend, that shady cd is my only spin
couldn’t pay to win, but i spray the pen, and lay it all in my pages there
i’m just a white kid from a black town
hip~hop was my background, trainin’ late to lay tracks down
never backin’ down on my dreams, years later, it’s me
here i’m finally seein’, no schemes, never made with my streams
yeah, i did it all with my team
if you don’t see what rap means to me, then you were never here from the start
from the cornfields to the backstreets, i’ll paint the feels of my heart
so no matter where you are hearing this
my only hope is that i can give the same hope that this music gives
no matter how dark this road is, bet you always know where home is
just check my words in my soul, when the world turns cold
and all these holes get you down, i’ll keep holdin’ you down
’cause i’m a long way from home, i don’t really know this town
but i know where we’re goin’, and i know one day, we’ll make it out, so be safe

[chorus: shelby morgan]
withhold me, i just wanna be alone
it’s been a long d~mn day, i can feel it on my soul, so
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
withhold me, i just wanna be alone
it’s been a long d~mn day, i can feel it on my soul, so
settle in, i’ll take the long way home
we can ride all night, take the long way home
