"A Long Way Away From My Country" lyrics
Yeah, right
See, these city lights burn my eyes, I can't lie
Reminisce of back home where the starlight shine
Think of a place like mine where I ease my mind
Right back on country, everything all fine
But in these concrete jungles where I lay my head
I feel blessed for where I am because I could be dead
I stay shootin' for the stars but use a different kind of lead
With a different kind of bred with some different kind of bread
I'm a young Black king for my young Black kin
Proud of this melanin up under my brown skin
And if we never win, as long as we went in
They say we livin' in sin, that's the words that they sing
I'm just waiting for the day that I'll be back home
And my daughter's all grown up so she can be shown
Where her ancestors roam and the Gomeroi own
And the Mehi float, that's where I call home
I'm a long way from my country
It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away from my country
It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away
I'm a long away (I'm a long way away)
Said I'm a long away (Yeah)
Yeah, I'm a long way away
I'm a long way away, but I still feel you in my spirit
You hear it in these lyrics, I ain't one for the gimmicks
I hold it down for my people, I'm hopin' all of you feel it
I do this all for our healing, I never try to conceal it
I feel the wind across my arms, the heat on my face
I'm free like a Dhinawan, they still tryna get a taste
I'ma stay forever calm, just don't get up in your space
If you do, then I'ma put you in your place
I'm a young Black man on Bidjigal land
But these Gomeroi hands turn a brick wall to sand
I'ma do this for the fam, I don't think they understand
Everything will go as planned before we go back to the land
I'm a long way from my country
It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away from my country
It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away
I'm a long away (I'm a long way away)
Said I'm a long away (Yeah)
Yeah, I'm a long way away
I'm a long way away
I'm a long way away
Oh, oh
See, these city lights burn my eyes, I can't lie
Reminisce of back home where the starlight shine
Think of a place like mine where I ease my mind
Right back on country, everything all fine
But in these concrete jungles where I lay my head
I feel blessed for where I am because I could be dead
I stay shootin' for the stars but use a different kind of lead
With a different kind of bred with some different kind of bread
I'm a young Black king for my young Black kin
Proud of this melanin up under my brown skin
And if we never win, as long as we went in
They say we livin' in sin, that's the words that they sing
I'm just waiting for the day that I'll be back home
And my daughter's all grown up so she can be shown
Where her ancestors roam and the Gomeroi own
And the Mehi float, that's where I call home
I'm a long way from my country
It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away from my country
It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away
I'm a long away (I'm a long way away)
Said I'm a long away (Yeah)
Yeah, I'm a long way away
I'm a long way away, but I still feel you in my spirit
You hear it in these lyrics, I ain't one for the gimmicks

It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away from my country
It's a long time since I've reappeared
Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky
Run away 'cause you might get speared
I'm a long way away
I'm a long away (I'm a long way away)
Said I'm a long away (Yeah)
Yeah, I'm a long way away
I'm a long way away
I'm a long way away
Oh, oh
