Lyrics

I Came A Long Way from the rocks,
And dipping from the cops
And getting blacked out from taking too many shots
I created all the pain, I’m just thankful that it stopped
But you better listen up, cuz I’ma tell you a lot
And it ain’t easy, I really started from the bottom
Battling these demons I know everybody got ‘em
I know I’ve got support, but missing a couple columns
I was tryna find the answers that were hidden in a bottles
But I couldn’t find em, cuz they ain’t exist
Realize that I’m depressed so I take a sip
But I took so many sips that I drank the 5th
Forget the keys to the door so I’m breaking it
I did that shit twice, I ain’t put up a fight
I met a new homie, then I’m dipping on his bike
I broke in an apartment in the middle of the night
Getting arrested was a blessing in disguise
Cuz I was stressing at the time

But I Came A Long Way
I Came A Long Way since then
I Came A Long Way
Came A Long Way
A Long Way

It all started with a sip,
I never would’ve thought that it (would have) turned like this
Seeing people sailing past me when I burned my ship
It took a while but I learned my shit
I guess my life was never golden
Just been full of darkness and I’m really into coping
So get a bottle crack it open
Ain’t no time to wasted, but I will be in a moment
My whole family wanted me sober by 22
But in my own head, well that just wasn’t the move
I’m just having fun, but they be talking abuse
So I went away to college, I’m finally on the loose
It would’ve been ok but I didn’t play by the rules
Had the toolbox but I was missing the tools
I almost failed right outta school
I almost didn’t make, but now I look at the view
I Came A Long Way from pouring 80 in a 40
Drunk all day from getting faded in the morning
Looking back its a little disappointing
I never used to isolate but lately I enjoy it
And when I felt like I had nothing left to fill the void
I turned it to this music and now that’s what I enjoy
I guess they want the man cuz they weren’t fucking with the boy
And now I’m sobered up I see the shit that I’ve destroyed
And I apologize to all the people that I hurt
I been getting better, really putting in the work
I know a couple friendships that got buried in the dirt
And for what its worth, you can bet I’ll be the first to admit it
I brought the torch and burned bridges
Everybody said I got a problem but what is it?
I remember waking up drunk in the ditches
I ain’t even keeping tabs on all the shit that I’ve been missing, but
I Came A Long Way from feeling broke down
When suicidal ideation never been more profound
Me and all the voices in my head gonna have a showdown
I’ve dealt with them so many times you’d think I was a pro now
Reaching out the hands but it left me empty handed
People talking shit but they’ll never understand it
I got addicted when I never really planned it
I was walking blind and eventually I was stranded

But I Came A Long Way
I Came A Long Way since then
I Came A Long Way
Came A Long Way
A Long Way

I Came A Long Way from the lying, and drunk driving
I really can’t believe that I’m alive still
Got a little fight in me, I’m all right
But I don’t even know who’s really down to ride with me
I need to keep it level headed on my shoulders
Start to understand that as I get a little older
It’s hard to stay sober in a drinking culture
Addiction is a war and I’m a real soldier

But I Came A Long Way
I Came A Long Way since then
I Came A Long Way
Came A Long Way
A Long Way
