"Came A Long Way"

Press the link below & check out the audio, Peace!!

You came a long way away just from being my friend
What I know now wish eye woulda knew back then
Pain is pleasure
Like others fell in dat trend
Our paired hearts used to be 1 dayz on end
Used to use hands to caress our skin
At some point we lost sight of what's important n resentment had crept on in

Some said, what we had wasn't love it was built on sin
Way before da physical n verbal altercations 
Things took a turn for da worse when we stop communicatin'
Solely on da basis on what we never allocated
It's a shame when two people outgrow one another n they whole union just becomes outdated 
Came up together glad just to even make it

No one believed in y'all except them as far as their relations
Experience teaches us dat it takes patience
A certain special kind of motivation
Courage n trust
Workin' as one
Even tho you be young, long as you worked hard you knew it would come
Somewhere along da lines it becomes a job, less of da fun

Family only thing holding y'all together under da sun
But when it rained, it poured
You start finding ways to cut da umbilical cord
Words tossed around become weapons like swords
Walk around cold inside like bodies in morgue's
Just to speak one sentence to each other used to be easy, now you find it a chore

A house of laughter, no one smilin' no more
Nobody wants to be da first to turn they back n walk outta da door 
Da fire is gone
What was once sacred, now a finality torn
Judge's, Court, Lawyer's Up!, papers were drawn

Flesh riddled wit scorn
Tears mixed wit "Cheers", check ya temperature yo!, it isn't da norm 
Nothin' left to do but pick up pieces keep movin' along
It isn't a game, this is life wit triumph's n continuous storms
But how you handle outcome's builds character n makes you strong
Jesus Christ
Came a long way from bein' reborn
