Long Roads Long Prayers

Verse

Woke up to a phone that wouldn't stop

Same old voices asking where the profit went

I gave my word when my word was all I had

Now they act like every promise was pretend

Pre-Chorus

I ain't never switched up on the ones who held me down

I just learned to move quiet through a loud loud town

Chorus

Still standing on my own two

Still counting every blessing that I'm owed

They can talk but they don't know

What it cost to walk this road

Still standing on my own two

Ain't no handouts in the cards I hold

Post-Chorus

(On my own) on my own two

(On my own) yeah I'm still here

Verse 2

Mama told me keep my head above the water

I been treading since I was a kid on the block

Every friend turned to a maybe

Every maybe turned to a lock

Pre-Chorus

I ain't never begged for nothing that was mine to earn

I just kept my cool and let the tables turn

Chorus

Still standing on my own two

Still counting every blessing that I'm owed

They can talk but they don't know

What it cost to walk this road

Still standing on my own two

Ain't no handouts in the cards I hold

Bridge

Long nights long roads long prayers

I carry all my people everywhere

Long nights long roads long prayers

I carry all my people everywhere

Chorus

Still standing on my own two

Still counting every blessing that I'm owed

They can talk but they don't know

What it cost to walk this road

Still standing on my own two

Ain't no handouts in the cards I hold

Post-Chorus

(On my own) on my own two

(On my own) yeah I'm still here
