This Far

I hope for long days
 'Cause these short days always end the wrong way
 Bizarre laying with it that was all day
 Now it's all mixed up, I gotta call gang
 Told me pressure make diamonds don't it all break
 Never looked for anyone to feed me
 Never assumed this would be easy
 But I ain't think it'd get this hard
 Told me just be glad we made it this far
 And we still rolling
 Setback sharpen the vision, 2020 focused
 Dark places and long nights to put this thing in motion
 Driven by scars that you would never notice
 Question anything but devotion, it's real
 Told em hush that we got it, some forced to acknowledge
 Finally gaining some traction and they ain't moving this often
 Can't indulge when they comment just euro stepping like Giannis
 To see what's on the horizon and know we're heading beyond it
 Beyond that, had to modify my contacts
 Grateful for any day I hear my mom
 Made it this far, I know we'll never get some time back
 But that's okay, we keep on pushing 'til we fall flat
 If you ain't picked up then, don't expect no call back
 Don't expect a text with affection written in all caps
 Suffered losses to get it all back, all facts
 Marathon running clocking in on track, yep
 I hope for long days
 'Cause these short days always end the wrong way
 Bizarre laying with it that was all day
 Now it's all mixed up, I gotta call gang
 Told me pressure make diamonds don't it all break
 Never looked for anyone to feed me
 Never assumed this would be easy
 But I ain't think it'd get this hard
 Told me just be glad we made it this far
 And we're still shining
 Hit a wall but yet we're still climbing
 Ducking subtle shots from a distance and we're still trying
 Reaching for confirmation, the silence was so defining
 Doesn't take much here to remind him it's real
 Told B that we got it, track the beat and we're solid
 Pocket the flow and I'm zoning
 Stressing but how can they stop it
 Turn pain to a profit, turned up and still cautious
 Put some shit in the rearview but ain't no telling who's watching
 Well watch that, couple commas and a contract
 Thankful for every blessing and the drawbacks
 Too much is changing, know I'll never get some bonds back
 But that's okay, we keep on pushing 'til we fall flat
 If you ain't with it now, don't expect no call back
 Don't expect a text with affection written in all caps
 Suffered losses to get it all back, all facts
 Marathon running clocking in on track, yep
 I hope for long days
 'Cause these short days always end the wrong way
 Bizarre laying with it that was all day
 Now it's all mixed up, I gotta call gang
 Told me pressure make diamonds don't it all break
 Never looked for anyone to feed me
 Never assumed this would be easy
 But I ain't think it'd get this hard
 Told me just be glad we made it this far
