[Verse 1: Joe Nat]

It's been 20 something years but we far from done

Yeah we came a long way with the songs we sung

But never forget you walked a thousand miles

From the smiles and the downs and the ups the cries

Nobody truly knows u keep that in mind

When everything goes blurry u seek and u find

Let everybody else do the talking you can do the walking

The working the learning the hardship and the hurting

'Cause you were right there by my side all the time

And i cried on your shoulder when nobody else showed up

When u was at the bottom no one cared for u to float up

When u landed on your back nobody helped to pick the load up

Stranded by yourself had to handle it yourself and

I was the only person that imagined how it felt when

Your brother got knifed up friends all strung out

Pops got stomped out everybody bugged out

[Chorus: Essa Cham]

I've been trying so long

Tryna come up with a plan for us

Lord yeah

As we travel on this road, world cold only you I can trust

Verse 2 (Joe Nat)

Too young to understand now we like sixteen

Packing your bags went to the big city with big dreams

Chasing something to replace that pain with

Pockets empty pencil only thing that u came with

Determined and dedicated to make it whatever the price

Sacrificing everything angry at life

Mad at the world mind state frustrated get faded

Let the weed numb it break a piece of it, make something from it

Rents late, evicted on Wednesday no ends

But maybe u can stay at a friends place

Until then, gotta kill time on the train while

U plan the next move u need food upon your plate now

No clean clothes early mornings go to school

Straight to your part time job hard times god

But no one answered back all along it was u and me

Against it all tryna get it on thinking

[Chorus: Essa Cham]

I've been trying so long

Tryna come up with a plan for us

Lord yeah

As we travel on this road, world cold only you I can trust

Verse 3 (Joe Nat)

It's been 20 something years but we far from done

Yeah we came a long way with the songs we sung

But we still chasing still got the taste for something bigger

I seen your through it all and u ain't never been no quitter

Now u warehouse boxed in, shoes all warn out

Running back and forth and your girl always fall out

With you then you storm out and act out violently

Baby on the way, oh Wait, she had a miscarriage

Wanting you to talk about it, u ain't got the patience

Instead u let it all out at the wrong occasion

I know you so well still it happens every time

Same thing then I gotta pull u in when u out of line

Gotta learn how to live with u, hate u but I love u

But most importantly we inseparable

It hurts to see you like this all confused

Whose who? talking to me like I'm you
