Long way home
Drewmat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swerving in a Malibu spaceship
All other plans postponed
Cruising that matrix
Screaming I made it but I'm praying
I don't get too far gone
Feeling evasive
Hundred on the dash no brakes
It feels amazing
All this time that I'm paving
I'm taking the long way home
V8, 808, feel the vibration
Oh yeah
Watch that mother fucker leave the station
Sending me the addy for the private location
Pull up with a baddie
No "B", she an A list
It's still fuck your opinion
'Cus while your sleeping I'm winning
I'm tryna clime to the top for the squad
I'm not really religious
But damn I swear my ambitions
Could fill a whole stadium on God
Hey, I put in the work I don't care what you say
I'm a rockstar, cash a check, oh yeah
I won't settle for anything less
Fuck anxiety, middle finger to my chest
Imma "DND" my phone
No text, no call, no show
In the Beamer see the top go down
Ain't no ceiling in my life right now
Curving that fake shit
Swerving in a Malibu spaceship
All other plans postponed
Cruising that matrix
Screaming I made it but I'm praying
I don't get too far gone
Feeling evasive
Hundred on the dash no brakes
And the other hand grip a bankroll
It feel amazing
All this time that I'm paving
I'm taking the long way home
In the first verse, the lyrics describe the singer's rejection and avoidance of fake people and situations. They metaphorically compare themselves to swerving in a Malibu spaceship, indicating a sense of freedom and detachment from the insincerity around them. The phrase "Cruising that matrix" further emphasizes this feeling of navigating through a fabricated or false reality.
The lyrics also convey a conflicting emotion within the singer. Despite proclaiming their success and accomplishment ("Screaming I made it"), they express a concern for not losing themselves in the process ("but I'm praying I don't get too far gone"). This indicates a desire to remain grounded and authentic amidst their journey.
The second verse begins with the mention of a V8 engine and the impactful sound of 808 bass, which symbolizes power and energy. The lyrics highlight the singer's determination to rise to the top for their squad, showcasing their ambition and competitive spirit. They acknowledge that they may not be religious, but their drive and aspirations alone are strong enough to fill an entire stadium.
The following lines assert the singer's confidence and self-assuredness. They proudly state their commitment to hard work and success, disregarding the opinions of others. The phrase "while your sleeping I'm winning" implies that they are constantly working towards their goals while others may be unaware or idle. The lyrics also suggest a rebellious and unapologetic attitude, exemplified by the line "It's still fuck your opinion."
The chorus repeats the first verse, reinforcing the sense of navigating through falsehoods and distractions. The lyrics express a feeling of evasiveness and momentum, with a mention of driving at a high speed (hundred on the dash no brakes) and holding a substantial amount of money (grip a bankroll). This is juxtaposed with the singer's appreciation for the journey they are taking, acknowledging that despite the length, it feels amazing.
Overall, the song portrays a journey of self-discovery, ambition, and authenticity. It reflects the singer's determination to navigate through a world of fakeness and distractions, using their own hard work and unyielding drive to reach their goals. The long way home represents the path they have chosen, and despite its challenges, they find fulfillment and joy in the process.
