[Chorus}

I’m on a long road

I hope it ain't gon me take too long

I hope this road gon take me so far

That’s why I reach so high for the stars

That’s why I reach so high for the stars

[Verse One: Young L3X]

As youngin I had dreams and visions

Filled with ambitions, all these premonitions

Of niggas grabbing a weapon

Hit me with the Smith and Wesson

Take me out of the presence

So, I thank the Lord for my blessings

I ain't ready for heaven

Even though I’m in hell

Niggas that I grew up with

Now live in a cell

I’m trynna get out the hood

Be great and live good

This world’s a jungle

I’m trynna escape these woods

Yellow tape and chock lines

Sirens flashing, another passing

These boys ask for action

Til something happens

They rather grab the 9

Instead of nine to five

But I woke myself up cus I gotta get mines

Living right doing good ain't good enough

But I gotta escape the hood cus I had enough

Of the bullets and the drama

Too much stress for my mama

They don’t believe in karma

They’ll do anything to harm ya

[Chorus}

I’m on a long road

I hope it ain't gon me take too long

I hope this road gon take me so far

That’s why I reach so high for the stars

That’s why I reach so high for the stars

[Verse Two: Young L3X]

And these problems just keep getting real

All this hunger might make you steal

So much pain now it’s hard to feel

A trouble mind and a lost soul

It’s hard to keep the drive

Going through these long roads

Yea, foes are friends and friends are foes

Who is who? Now it’s hard to know

It’s kind of hard to trust people when your heart is broke

Some people sold they soul

And when you need them the most

They turn too ghost

The boy want props, no improv

Of the credit I been robbed

Felt like an underdog

But I never felt under ya

Saw myself as a star

Saw myself as a king

Saw myself as a God

Yea, but they doubting me

I wonder what the hell they don’t see in me

If I go to heaven are you keeping me?

Is it too much to believe in me?

[Chorus}

I’m on a long road

I hope it ain't gon me take too long

I hope this road gon take me so far

That’s why I reach so high for the stars

That’s why I reach so high for the stars
