Distance
Josh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking that's the only to get off the ground
Showing my opponents how to do it on your own
But they keep tryna bring me down
Flick my bick and hit me a cigarette
Twist the piff it lifts me above the stress
Flip my chips til a G gets some bigger checks
Shift the express to distance from depression
Twist the piff it lifts me above the stress
Flip my chips til a G gets some bigger checks
Shift the express to distance from depression
It's a fight not to give up the fight
The hating fakes been making me debate in my mind state
And contemplating if I should just be like everybody
Then I see the light at the end of the tunnel looking brighter
Than the sights from the hype and I'm like nah
I remember why I been trying to get right
It's more than a Porsche that motivates your boy
I ain't going back to before being poor on the porch
Feeling forced to go to war with myself and doubters
That if God be for me can't nothing stop me in the world
Or the whole universe so I'm doing work fighting through the storm
With some newports and herbs to ignore the lures of short
Cuts and easy routes I'm going hard to endure
Kicking in the doors til I got the keys for us
To find this promised land
Leading us out the forest thanks for your support
The detours ain't coercing me off of the course
They tryna be judge but they could keep courts
I'm tryna beat Jordan with these scores
That I go deeper in tune with me for
The recording of the C4 I be scorching to free our beating hearts
From the beating to the rewards
Please forgive me but you haters disregarded....
Peace love
Flick my bick and hit me a cigarette
Twist the piff it lifts me above the stress
Flip my chips til a G gets some bigger checks
Shift the express to distance from depression
Flick my bick and hit me a cigarette
Twist the piff it lifts me above the stress
Flip my chips til a G gets some bigger checks
Shift the express to distance from depression
They tryna bring me down
