Title track for TLRA, Pt 1. It details the determination and support needed to continue the journey down this long road.
lyrics
Aw man I'm in for the long run,
but it'll be well worth it when the jobs done,
right now there's a long road ahead,
I plan on driving through the night, man I won't go to bed,
to master the mic, I carve through the night, armed with my pride, these fellas are the types to come after the fight, basque in the light like a roo in the high beams - where the carcasses lie
Fast pace man it's passing me by, white lines connect like stars in the sky, the answer is why? if you ask for a ride are you part of the tribe ? Jah BRUStafari,
the evolution is here, through the pollution and fear, we grew through the years, wheels are spinnin as the movement appears, the real difference is now I am choosin to steer.
When you're driving down The Long Road Ahead there's a lotta strength and fluency - in unity
You know the time is now so don't lose your head, there's a lotta things 4U2C
Along way the once forgotten face was commonplace among the modern race, road widened to accommodate, helped me contemplate my position upon this place!
lost in space after significant set backs, the fresh tracks led me to a different entrance, entranced with passion, I enhanced my rappin, watch me put the plans in action,
given the chance to smash em, my boundaries are blown up
it took me a while but you've found me all grown up,
so profound what this road does, now focused on what being a good bloke is,
but I'm always proving me wrong, cos I don't always do what I do in a song, sometimes it just feels like I'm just cruising along, but now I know that I do belong.
When you're driving down The Long Road Ahead there's a lotta strength and fluency - in unity
You know the time is now so don't lose your head, there's a lotta things 4U2C
Mix some damiana with my marijuana, that happy laughter that we harbour is catchy, like attracting karma
got a lack of armour, but we travel farther when we smash the drama
apart and leave it in the ashes after
I'm just one man learning how to live now, once I cross it I'm not gonna burn the bridge down,
I now know what it is that I've gotta be, but honestly it's hard to follow the plan properly,
In trying to find myself , finding hell
only time will tell, if my mind is well, where I once fell was where I started to climb as well
so go slow on the bends, I won't go to bed until the homeward stretch
keep going instead, until the motor is dead on the long road ahead!
When you're driving down The Long Road Ahead there's a lotta strength and fluency - in unity
You know the time is now so don't lose your head, there's a lotta things 4U2C
