[Chorus}
I’m on a long road
I hope it ain't gon me take too long
I hope this road gon take me so far
That’s why I reach so high for the stars
That’s why I reach so high for the stars

[Verse One: Young L3X]
As youngin I had dreams and visions
Filled with ambitions, all these premonitions
Of n***as grabbing a weapon
Hit me with the Smith and Wesson
Take me out of the presence
So, I thank the Lord for my blessings
I ain't ready for heaven
Even though I’m in hell
N***as that I grew up with
Now live in a cell
I’m trynna get out the hood
Be great and live good
This world’s a jungle
I’m trynna escape these woods
Yellow tape and chock lines
Sirens flashing, another passing
These boys ask for action
Til something happens
They rather grab the 9
Instead of nine to five
But I woke myself up cus I gotta get mines
Living right doing good ain't good enough
But I gotta escape the hood cus I had enough
Of the bullets and the drama
Too much stress for my mama
They don’t believe in karma
They’ll do anything to harm ya

[Chorus}
I’m on a long road
I hope it ain't gon me take too long
I hope this road gon take me so far
That’s why I reach so high for the stars
That’s why I reach so high for the stars

[Verse Two: Young L3X]
And these problems just keep getting real
All this hunger might make you steal
So much pain now it’s hard to feel
A trouble mind and a lost soul
It’s hard to keep the drive
Going through these long roads
Yea, foes are friends and friends are foes
Who is who? Now it’s hard to know
It’s kind of hard to trust people when your heart is broke
Some people sold they soul
And when you need them the most
They turn too ghost
The boy want props, no improv
Of the credit I been robbed
Felt like an underdog
But I never felt under ya
Saw myself as a star
Saw myself as a king
Saw myself as a God
Yea, but they doubting me
I wonder what the hell they don’t see in me
If I go to heaven are you keeping me?
Is it too much to believe in me?

[Chorus}
I’m on a long road
I hope it ain't gon me take too long
I hope this road gon take me so far
That’s why I reach so high for the stars
That’s why I reach so high for the stars
