Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta play with 'em oh
I caught a couple of ho′s
Now I done rockin' 'em all
Time to just play with the ho
Now I′m done playin′ a ho
Said we're done like woah
Thank dancing for you woah
Like I′m playin', she just wanna dough
I got couple Benzes and you
Tell man a friend, like they know
I got a couple nances and ah-oh
Like ohh
Oh, I just want to know if you got it
Every time, I wanna try, I know it′s not the best time
I just want to know if you here
And every time I'm with you, girl I wanna kiss you
Have a feelin′ in it like there
And I just wanna roll now, never wanna go down, wanna go down
Every time we do it like slow now
I, I, just wanna get yourself a walkthrough
Tell [?], and I want you
I just want that feeling like a horseshoe
No, no, no I want you
Ohh then I'm gonna feed you
Cooker in a corner, know you sleepin'
I just said [?] you leading
You lil wet like you bleedin′
I just think nigga′s wanna schemin'
Every time you don′t wanna hold down
Beverly Hills, you wanna go down
Never wanna leave you
Oohh, never gonna leave you
Oh, I just want to know if you got it
Every time, I wanna try, I know it's not the best time
I just want to know if you here
And every time I′m with you, girl I wanna kiss you
Have a feelin' in it like there
And I just wanna roll now, never wanna go down, wanna go down
Every time we do it like slow now
For a low down
Feelin′ like oh now
Oh now, I don't mind
I need you
Oh now, I don't mind
I need you
Oh now, I don′t mind
I need you
It is difficult to provide a complete interpretation of the lyrics to Justin Burke's song "Long Way Home" as they are full of slang and unclear phrases. However, it seems that the song is about a man who is enjoying his freedom and playing around with different women, but ultimately realizes that he wants a deeper connection with a particular woman. He is hoping that she is also interested in him and is willing to commit to a relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "I just want to know if you got it," which may imply that he is interested in her emotional availability or her willingness to take a chance on him.
The lyrics suggest that the man may be struggling with commitment issues and trying to balance his desire for independence with his need for companionship. He has "got a couple of ho's" and "caught a couple of nances," which could refer to sexual conquests or casual relationships. However, he seems to be tired of this lifestyle and is looking for something more meaningful. The rap-like style of the verses and the repetition of phrases like "like woah" and "like slow now" give the song a playful and catchy feel.
Overall, "Long Way Home" is an intriguing song with ambiguous lyrics that allow the listener to interpret them in their own way. It touches on themes of love, longing, and the complexities of modern relationships.

I'll give in to you
my whole heart is yours
to capture your moments
I'd give the world
'cause life moves so fast
so let's just go slow
I'll take you for a ride
and promise that I'll take the long way home
Fading in and out of it
trying to find my focus
I've got you always on my mind
Favourite way to waste the time
Have I fallen in a daze?
Take me to a better place
Far away from all the pain
I can feel your heart beating
Here I am
alone with you
I know the hurt
that you've been through
We've got our scars
but love forgives
so I will commit
I'll give in to you
my whole heart is yours
to capture your moments
I'd give the world
'cause life moves so fast
so let's just go slow
I'll take you for a ride
and promise that we'll take the long way home
I had a fear of losing you
I'm not sure I'd know what to do
I'm writing to a different rhyme
'cause lasting love it has no time
Trow away
your alarm
talk until
we see the sun
Why don't we
just slow it down
and make this love count
I'll give in to you
my whole heart is yours
to capture your moments
I'd give the world
'cause life moves so fast
so let's just go slow
I'll take you for a ride
and promise that we'll take the long way home
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
promise that we'll take the long way home
