How Far

[Verse 1]

Now or never I doubt it’s ever that dire

Only motivated when I get close to the fire

Who knows why a me on the ropes is a noble fighter

Associating hope with providing

I come from a long line of barely trying and getting by

You won’t be surprised if you apply and you get denied

Children of compliance got defiant and this is why

It’s hard to sympathize crackers dying from getting high

When crack was in its prime drug abuse was a kin to crime

America’s design on who do and don’t get to lie

In front a grand jury or or a choir of people crying

Somеwhere in between a you and I and thе you is silent or obtuse

[Chorus]

How far, how far, how far will you go

How far, how far, how far will you go

How far, how far, how far will you go

How far, how far, how far will you go

[Verse 2]

Not using an excuse just correct truth

I was sent to upset you

I got your children standing next to where you left ooh

Moved away from me but to the music you step to

Black flight the only non white in front row

Amir’s feared in light when’s it night y'all want O

Show full good girls hype when I come close

She said she use the vinyl as a surface to blunt roll

Edison ain’t know it would be medicine

Peddled in by the melanin to European’s fleeing their skeletons

In need of a reckoning we’ll I reckon I’m selling them

Addiction in a civil suited garment I settled in

Live from colonies of cotton, tobacco, sugar and rotten planning

Harvesting a promise wasn’t rooted when I was planting

Equity not equality I’m demanding

Your past or my future, who wants it more

Panic

[Chorus]

How far, how far, how far will you go

How far, how far, how far will you go
