Healing lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, uh
They took one look and said it couldn't be done
Overlooked me and mistook me for a rookie or somethin'
I can't delay, what they're sayin' never shook me or nothin'
If I lose sight of what's important, I just look at my son
Then I'm back at it, I ain't never snatched a rabbit out a hat
But when I'm rappin' on the track, this sh*t is magic
Least that's what it feel like when I step on the stage
Got my sh*t together then everything started to change
Damn, if only people knew how far that we came
But that's why thеy hate you, win or lose
I guess that's part of thе game
Say a true mate stay with you in your darkest of days
We just did drugs and got drunk enough to laugh at the pain
Wish I knew better now
God said, "Just pray this sh*t will level out
And pave a way for your babies, lad, take a better route"
My father thought I was a joke and that I'd never amount to nothin'
Too late to hold grudges though, he's in heaven now

[Chorus]
I came so far
Why are they still so far away from me?
I came so far
Why they still so far that I can't see?
So I ask God
Come now, come down and set me free
Because so far
I feel like I been running on empty
[Verse 2]
Fuel gauge been on 'E' lately
Thought I would've quit by now, but lad, it's crazy
'Cause my wife just had a baby
'Bout time I get to work and devil temptin' me, I fight the urges
'Cause life is worth it when you find your purpose
So when I get the bread, I count the heads and break it
Stay relentless even when they said I'd never make it
Deep inside, I know I'll win, I'm goin' in
Until the Lord come and get me like Nipsey, this is dedication
This system be vicious, I gotta stay cautious
Born sinner, tell the Prime Minister pray for us
No justice now, it's feelin' like it's just us
Outlaw coppers only wanna see a brother cuffed up
Tell me, "Hush up", and throw the argument under the rug
f*ck that, my people are tired, we've suffered enough
I do this for my people tryin' but stuck in the rut
sh*t, I ain't even got a ride, I'm stuck on the bus

[Chorus]
I came so far
Why are they still so far away from me?
I came so far
Why they still so far that I can't see?
So I ask God
Come now, come down and set me free
Because so far
I feel like I been running on empty
I came so far
Why are they still so far away from me?
I came so far
Why they still so far that I can't see?
So I ask God
Come now, come down and set me free
Because so far
I feel like I been running on empty
