Far

If you were me Would you have done it? Ooh, I'm such a long long way from home These decisions that I hold Have mercy on my soul If you were free Would you be running? Even after time I'm still alone With these questions that I hold Have mercy on my soul And I've tried And I've tried And I've tried so hard Every time I get close I look up And it feels so far So far This path I'm taking Is never easy Why do I question The things I'm supposed to believe in The fact I'm breathing I can tell is a sign We were set up To be here for a limited time So when I'm drunk in my thoughts It feels like I'm designed To fuck up my decisions And pretend that I'm fine Knowing that I'm behind I've been taking it out on myself I'm a world champ When it comes beating up my mental health and I Started out with no wealth My father left like oh-well Moving around like I'm motel Living, drifting around with no sail Going all-in hope I don't fail Underdog since 92' I've seen things that you don't tell Running around in my swap meet shoes So rely on nothing but yourself This the start of your empire They don't want to see your colored skin Ever get close to the top And in those times that you get tired Promise me that you'll keep running They say the thing about success Is that you never see it coming If you were me Would you have done it? Ooh, I'm such a long long way from home These decisions that I hold Have mercy on my soul If you were free Would you be running? Even after time I'm still alone With these questions that I hold Have mercy on my soul And I've tried And I've tried And I've tried so hard Every time I get close I look up And it feels so far So far
