"Long Way To Go (Intro)" lyrics

Gonna bring me down
Gonna bring me down
Gonna bring me down, oh
Yeah

When I was a kid, I used to dream for it
I'd stay up late every night, I lost sleep for it
I overcame so many traumas, left 'em all in the past
I done cut my scars open, now I bleed for it
Look, it used to hurt when they laughed
Some nights I'd stare up at the ceiling, second guessin' my path
But when times got tough and when it all went bad
Man, I'm grateful for the music, that was all that I had
My escape from my problems at home, from feelin' alone
I'd just make some brand new beats and spit off of the dome
I'd keep notebooks all around me everywhere I'd go
Nah, this not a song, this a piece of my soul
People used to ask me when I'd give it up
But if you thought you had a chance, would you give it up?
Like, would you chase it while the people 'round you live it up?
'Cause when I'm old, I'm never askin' if I did enough
Like, even with all the drama and pain, bipolar right in my brain
Everything, I overcame, I won't complain
Because it's more than the music, yeah, it's deeper than killin' tracks
A broke kid out of Florida, got my state up on my back
Yeah, it's not about the fame or the money or gettin' plaques
It's the fact that I can make a difference
Yeah, so if you got a dream, you better chase it
Time is of the essence and the reaper is impatient
If you got a dream, go and take it
It's only one life, so you probably shouldn't waste it
And I've been feelin' blessed, looked within, I'm redefinin' myself
Like, will I be one of the best? Only time will tell

'Cause we still got a long way to go
We still got a long way to go, oh
No matter the cost, we'll defy all the odds
'Cause I know God has a plan for me
'Cause we still got a long way to go
We still got a long way to go, oh
No matter the cost, we'll defy all the odds
'Cause I know God has a plan for me

Nothin's gonna bring me down, yeah, no one, no
Nothin's gonna bring me down, no, oh-oh, oh
Gonna bring me down
Gonna bring me down
Gonna bring me down (Gonna bring me down)
Gonna bring me down, oh

So yeah, that was what I was working on, Lex. Uh, what do you think about it, man?

That was sick, dude, some feel-good vibes. I feel like I can do anything now

Thanks, man, yeah, I was thinkin' about- wait, what the hell? Oh my God

Josh, something's wrong with the universe and we need your help

Are you gonna act like you didn't just vaporize yourself into existence, here? What is going on? I thought I was sober, is this even real?

Look, I know it's confusing, but I'm the fearless version of you, and there are other versions of you out there, we have to go get them
Something bad is gonna happen if we don't get every version of you together right now

Oh, this is like, uh, this is like, that-that-that movie, no way-

We can't legally say that for copyright reasons, okay, Josh? Just follow me, and we're gonna round up the rest of the versions of you, alright?

Okay, I mean, there's still kinda, like, no way home, but, whatever
