Long Way Home

[Verse 1]

It's just one of those nights, one of those nights

Where I'll take the long way, I'll take the long way home

I can't leave you alone, no, I can't leave you alone, no

And have you ever felt like you need somebody

And clear that somebody be me, baby

You feel like the world's a lonely place, but

As long as I see your face it's been somewhat of a good day

Ye-yeah

[Hook]

It just one of those nights

It just one of those nights, yeah

It just one of those nights

I got a lot on my mind, ye-yeah

A lot on my mind

But will I ever have time?

Are you so blind?

Cause you can't see, no, no

[Verse 2]

How could you, find better, you see what's happenin' now

You see I'm passionate now, 'bout somethin' other than you

It ain't nothin' to prove, ha, you know the deal

You tried to take me out of this world, and on the real

I never been better, my niggas proud I'm lit

Conversations wit' mama, yeah, I'm 'bout to have her quit, yeah

Collect that retirement, I made that my requirement

All the way to London, ain't that really a trip?

These haters want me to slip, but I'm as good as it gets

So who are you if you 'on't have me on your favorites list

Remember many years ago when I was prayin' for this

Around the same time my big homies was loadin' them clips

And now I'm right here, knew sooner or later it'd be my year

Same style for years, I really should be the pioneer

But I don't trip, I walk the path that was meant for me

Cause thinkin' 'bout things like that can mess you up mentally, look

Lord willin' I walk the path of the legends

Keep my spirit in place, I preach to you like a Reverend

Teach you a couple lessons, move when I'm under pressure

Stayin' true to the essence, acknowledging every blessing, yeah

She told me without tellin' me I wasn't good enough

True enough, I guess you really can't tell your heart who to love

Now who the plug? These niggas comin' to me

There's really no love lost, I'm still keepin' the peace like

[Hook]

It just one of those nights

It just one of those nights, yeah

It just one of those nights, oh, yeah

[Outro]

I'll take the long way home

I'll take the long way home

I'll take the long way home

Ohhh, yeah yeah

I'll take the, I'll take the long way

I'll take the long way

I'll take the, I'll take the long way

Yeah, I'll take the long way home

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

I'll take the, I'll take the

I'll take the, I'll take the long way home
