Long Way
Rexx Life Raj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always kept it lit, I never had to switch up
This for niggas who ain't want me glowin' this much
I'm on one, got me goin' all the way up
They saw me get it outta the mud
And they fuck wit' me the long way (Long way)
The long way (Long way, yeah)
They fuck wit' me the long way (Long way, long way)
The long way (Long way, uh)
They fuck wit' me the long way

Ay, 'cause I ain't on no weird shit or actin' emo
Berkley superhero, I always tucked the ego
You a million nigga stick, I'm wit' a couple people
But how we move wit' the glow it feel like a hunnid people
I keep it a hunnid wit' 'em
No need to fabricate it
Slowed down on Aderall poppin', I might be caffeinated
You'll get decapitated fuckin' wit' squad
But I show love bro
Shit is hard enough to survive
I peep the subtle shade
I see these niggas hot as the summer day, uh
Maybe you niggas should pick another trade, uh
Seen all the obstacles, I was unafraid, uh
You play the middle, you like the color gray
But I'm blacker than berries, sweeter than juice tho'
I've been on kill since Jonah Hill wit' the Jew fro'
Superbad nigga, I'm like Superman nigga
In the past they would laugh
Now you the man nigga, for sure

I always kept it lit, I never had to switch up
This for niggas who ain't want me glowin' this much
I'm on one, got me goin' all the way up
They saw me get it outta the mud
And they fuck wit' me the long way (Long way)
The long way (Long way, yeah)
They fuck wit' me the long way (Long way, long way)
The long way (Long way, uh)
They fuck wit' me the long way

Just 'cause I kept it solid
If you don't fuck wit' me then it's you, just bein' honest
People say "Faraji you changed", I never got it
The problem is they never grew, I think it's obvious
I need the elevation
You don't got the answer Sway, I did the education
Solvin' all the equations (You ain't been doing the education)
You been vacant, I'm on vacation
So fuck what these niggas sayin'
'Cause you don't have the answers though
Tryna stay afloat on a Banana Boat
They be actin' wild wit' a man at home
Really tryna get me out my pantaloons, uh
You gon' make me turn into an animal, an animal
Hot boy, baby I'm flammable
We should tuck off like valuables
Then evaluate, lets unite the way to love

I always kept it lit, I never had to switch up
This for niggas who ain't want me glowin' this much
I'm on one, got me goin' all the way up
They saw me get it outta the mud
And they fuck wit' me the long way (Long way)
The long way (Long way, yeah)
They fuck wit' me the long way (Long way, long way)




The long way (Long way, uh)
They fuck wit' me the long way
