Malik Parker - Came a Long Way Lyrics

We came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
Had some dark nights
So you know we had to pray
Man it took a while
So you know we had to wait
But we came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
We came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
Had some dark nights
So you know we had to pray
Man it took a while
So you know we had to wait
But we came a long way
Yeah we came a long way

Came a long way
From the bottom to the tip top
Needed people out the way
Before I could lift off
Time is of the essence
But I never check my wrist watch
Time is too short (Aye)
Listen to it tick tock
They said we'd never make it
But look at where we at now
Would not believe it
If you looked into our background
Always pushing limits
But we never back down
And we steady on a mission
Following the map now

We came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
Had some dark nights
So you know we had to pray
Man it took a while
So you know we had to wait
But we came a long way
We came a long way

Late night prayer sessions
Got momma on her face
Daddy working long hours
Make sure we had money in the bank
I remember we bowed our heads to eat
Thanking God for being Great
Psalms 91 protection
Man look how he kept us safe
I never had to worry
Some worry bout where they're
Gon stay
I'm sorry if that's you
But I promise that it can change
Never walked up in those shoes
Cause somehow HE made a way
But I tell you from experience
That trouble don't last always
Keep your head up
I know you fed up
Go and count your blessings
You ain't dead yet yeah Tomorrow is not promised
Today is what we can affect
You are not defined
By how many commas on a check

We came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
Had some dark nights
So you know we had to pray
Man it took a while
So you know we had to wait
But we came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
We came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
Had some dark nights
So you know we had to pray
Man it took a while
So you know we had to wait
But we came a long way
Yeah we came a long way
