Dave East Ft Cordae – Long Way Lyrics

Long Way Lyrics by Dave East Ft Cordae

[Intro: Dave East]
You wanna be rich or you wanna be broke?
Huh

[Verse 1: Dave East]
Thinkin’ to myself, I had a long night (I had a long night)
Woke up somewhere else, I had a long flight (Where we go?)
Sweatsuit for the flight, I got it, Off-White (I got it, Off-White)
This is for my niggas really came up off white (Came up off white)
You ain’t never been on no mission that touched your heart, right? (Touched your heart, right?)
You ain’t never fucked no bitch ’til she ain’t walk right (She ain’t walk right)
I know youngins that shoot funny like they Cartwright (Boom-boom, like they Cartwright)
Home invasions feel amazing ’til you get caught, right? (‘Til you get caught, right?)
We masked up like Bane on them dark nights (On them dark nights)
F&N bullets treat your body like a shark bite (Like a shark bite)
Outside on them benches under park lights (Under park lights)
That phone ring, you better answer, I don’t call twice (I don’t call twice)
In a smoker crib, could find me all night (All night)
Made enough for mama groceries, now we alright (We alright)
Homie, you pussy with a strap, that mean you all dyke (That mean you all dyke)
In these New York City night, you better talk nice (Talk nice, nigga)

[Chorus: Dave East]
Thinkin’ to myself, I came a long way (I came a long way)
I could’ve took the wrong exit and went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I’m just prayin’ to God they let these songs play (I’m prayin’)
I ain’t have to follow niggas, found my own way (Found my own way)
This shit ain’t a game so, nigga, don’t play (Nigga, don’t play)
Don’t never make a bet you know you won’t pay (You know you won’t pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch, I’m OJ (Bitch, I’m OJ)
Smokin’ good, seat back, play the O’Jays (Play the O’Jays)

[Verse 2: Cordae]
Uh, seat back, Maybach, Luther Vandross
House slippers, gold chains with a damn robe
What I drive today? Mercedes or the Land Rove’
Yeah, you thought that was your mans but your man’s told
Hundreds in my bankroll but all that glitters ain’t gold
I swore my heart done turned cold but that’s just how the game goes
I be in the crib home theater watchin’ Django
Thinkin’ about the past like, “Why the fuck I come for lame hoes?”
Was dreamin’ of fortunes for me to scheme and extortions
I blow a bag up at Nordstroms, I used to party at Morgan
Them college days I was not as paid
Used to sell weed after class and work at Fridays
Dorm room, I would burn sage and bump Sade
Bring a baddie back and blow that back out ’bout five ways
Oh, yeah, back in my day
Dreamin’ of the future, we done came up from the past
Livin’ out today like this shit gon’ be my last, my God

[Chorus: Dave East]
Thinkin’ to myself, I came a long way (I came a long way)
I could’ve took the wrong exit and went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I’m just prayin’ to God they let these songs play (I’m prayin’)
I ain’t have to follow niggas, found my own way (Found my own way)
This shit ain’t a game so, nigga, don’t play (Nigga, don’t play)
Don’t never make a bet you know you won’t pay (You know you won’t pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch, I’m OJ (Bitch, I’m OJ)
Smokin’ good, seat back, play the O’Jays (Play the O’Jays)
[Verse 3: Dave East]
With some bitches that go both ways (Both ways)
When I seen Nas in Belly, I got a low fade (I got a low fade)
Iverson talking ’bout practice made me grow braids (Made me grow braids)
We was dusty comin’ up, shoutout to Locane (Shoutout to Locane)
Now, I’m in some foreign shit takin’ up both lanes (Skrrt)
A lot of years they gave them prisons, still they won’t change (They won’t change)
I never seen referees up in the dope game (Up in the dope game)
I feel like Meech, gold Rollie, couple gold chains (Gold chains)
Blowin’ money fast, blowin’ money fast (We blow it)
Couldn’t tell me shit, I counted a couple hundred cash
Don’t want to drive it if it ain’t at least two hundred on the dash (Two-twenty)
Everybody wanna ride with you until you crash (Ooh)

[Chorus: Dave East]
Thinkin’ to myself, I came a long way (I came a long way)
I could’ve took the wrong exit and went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I’m just prayin’ to God they let these songs play (I’m prayin’)
I ain’t have to follow niggas, found my own way (Found my own way)
This shit ain’t a game so, nigga, don’t play (Nigga, don’t play)
Don’t never make a bet you know you won’t pay (You know you won’t pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch, I’m OJ (Bitch, I’m OJ)
Smokin’ good, seat back, play the O’Jays (Play the O’Jays)
