C. A Revolution - Long Way (feat. Marlena) Lyrics

I use my story from my past
To make a story in the future
It's funny cause my presence being more presents than a present
I got used to
Those days when they would look to me
I became like a book to read
With stories by the twos and threes
My pain showing up through my teeth when I showed my smile
That's was my lying through my teeth
If you know my style
Days wondering where when why and how
But I'm here now
But I came a long way

I'm not what I'm supposed to be
But I'm not what I used to be
And I know this one thing for me
Is that I came a long way
I'm not a victim I'm a survivor
I'm not bragging it's my testimony
I know this one thing for me
Is that I came a long way

I went from sleeping in whips
To renting the whips I used to sleep in
To making them pay me for rooms to sleep in
The cycle if life
Funny how these days and these nights
Turn the to sun to the moon
That means I'm light in dark nights
The things they used to do to me
Sit rape and abusing me
Emotionally confusing me
But look at what that would do for me
Make avenues to cruise the streets
And now you know that dude with heat
He play my songs loud on repeat cause he been through the same as me
That's not just a recycled line
That's actually thoughts inside my mind
The way that people tell me how my words would change their parading
I went from Sucidial being abused in my garden house
Having the option to put a garden outside my houses
From putting locks on the fridge so I couldn't eat
To inviting people to my house to enjoy the feast
I used to want to die
Until I got show
Then prayed for life let me tell you now what I got
Got beauty for ashes
Joy and not sorrow
Life to live and now borrow
Purpose and I can't wait for tomorrow

I'm not what I'm supposed to be
But I'm not what I used to be
And I know this one thing for me
Is that I came a long way
I'm not a victim I'm a survivor
I'm not bragging it's my testimony
I know this one thing for me
Is that I came a long way
