[Verse 1: Proof]
So many judge our trials of life
Got a thousand eyes watch my house in lights
Since my pal is white, one of the best that done it (D12)
The jealous tell us rubbish, tryna' test our stomachs like
"Where would you be if you never met Slim, he never met Kim
Would you still be in the ghetto with him?"
For Detroit, I procreated the truth
Any beef we ever had in our past was orchestrated by Proof (Proof)
To me was undeniable talent
You dyin' to challenge, my nigga shit, I am the balance
From the Mo to the boondocks, I still rob a balloon spot
Drunk as fuck with the Goon Sqwad
I'm too hard for popcorn and I don't belong
Get your block torn from city grids when Glocks drawn
Not wrong in this shit, make the rights decision
How you gon' judge the motherfuckin' life I'm livin'? Long road
[Hook: Proof & Dogmatic]
It's a long road! Lemme tell you something
How you gon' pass judgment when I came from nothin'? (Long Road)
Took what he had and he got him some ice
Yo it's hard lookin' up from the bottom of life (It's been a...)
It's a long road! Lemme tell you something
How you gon' pass judgment when I came from nothin'? (Long Road)
Took what he had and he got him some ice
Yo it's hard lookin' up from the bottom of life
[Verse 2: Proof]
Ain't mad that Eminem got more loot, got more fame
'Cause in reality he only got more pains
From the Jews and fools, lesbian views
The gays that boos, the news watching every way that he moves
He's always in my eyesight (My nigga)
Even though we don't kick it as much, back his life with my life
On my life, my wife, my kids, none of your biz
Don't make me blow this fo-fo through one of your ribs
It's the son of a bitch that love rap or dance
That got your killas that clap, scared to clap they hands
From the Sconnies to B.K.'s, F.A.'s and P.A.'s
I bring terror to states, 103 days
I run the freeways with burners ass blocks
To ride on them thug-ass niggas that blast Pac
The fast talk, get your ass barked, gonna add your
Where you last walked, Detroit's the asphalt
I'm a "Bad Boy" without a contract from Puffy
Want war? Don't make me contact T-Stuckey
Fuck a judge giving me strikes
Now tell me what you know about me living my life, long road
[Hook: Proof & Dogmatic]
It's a long road! Lemme tell you something
How you gon' pass judgment when I came from nothin'? (Long Road)
Took what he had and he got him some ice
Yo it's hard lookin' up from the bottom of life (It's been a...)
It's a long road! Lemme tell you something
How you gon' pass judgment when I came from nothin'? (Long Road)
Took what he had and he got him some ice
Yo it's hard lookin' up from the bottom of life (Sicknotes)
[Verse 3: Proof]
My heart moved when them buildings dropped
So many chills I got from them pills I pop
My children's not to be left like me
Proof the truth to the motherfuckin' death I'll be
The next Ali in the fight of life, finalize my plight with Christ
Analyze all these guys that ain't actin' right
Strike a mic in the name of rap or lose
I slang the crack, I choose to gain the plaques
Got clues from Damon Dash, the views of Flame and Fab
Fuck rules this game is trash
All I wanted was a chain and Benzi
Now for the cash I'ma hunter like Lindsey
10-speed of raw, I breathe and crawl
Like a panther for the answer how to feed my dawgs
Naw my niggas, my brakes is dying
Been a lifetime 'til now so I'm taking mine! Long road
[Hook x2: Proof & Dogmatic]
It's a long road! Lemme tell you something
How you gon' pass judgment when I came from nothin'? (Long Road)
Took what he had and he got him some ice
Yo it's hard lookin' up from the bottom of life (It's been a...)
It's a long road! Lemme tell you something
How you gon' pass judgment when I came from nothin'? (Long Road)
Took what he had and he got him some ice
Yo it's hard lookin' up from the bottom of life
[Outro: Dogmatic]
It's a long road!
