So Far

Yeah!
It’s Inverse
Toby…..Tunji
Worldwide
It’s been a long road
we’re finally here
we finally made it
it’s time….c’mon

Chorus:
This is life so far
it’s a long day’s journey trying to make it to the light from the dark
through the ups and the downs, rights and the wrongs
cause you never know when it might be gone
this is who we are, true to the heart
let the music be the fuse that’ll spark my soul
we’ve come so far, still got so far to go

Tunji:
Coming to you live from the home of the movie stars
the jewelry and cars, false prophets and the truly bizarre
the road’s rough from close up but when it’s viewed from afar
y’all only see the smiley faces not the bruises and scars
but this is who are, another hip hop group
singing these shattered dreams in tattered jeans and thrift-shop shoes
they try to judge cause we don’t look like each other
but read a page before you judge a book by it’s cover
I was dreaming when i wrote this song
trying to find a proper door to bang my closed fist on
focused…calm, even when the last shred of hope is gone
see everyday’s another journey and the road gets long
you gotta learn how to pace the trip
raise your fist, a man is not a fighter till he takes a risk, yo
I’m standing on the wire and I may just slip
somebody hand your boy a lighter let me blaze my spliff
now i’m zoning, growing each moment
fearing no one, cause i’m my only opponent
young black and vengeful, untapped potential
careful what you say before it comes back against you
I grew up on this hip hop music and grabbed a pencil
drew my own conclusions and never needed a stencil
long as my two feet pound the dirt and i’m down to earth
this music is bound to work, it’s Inverse

Chorus

Toby:
So far yet so close, the road goes to the horizon and back
keep an eye out cause i’m on the path
making sure the future won’t collide with the past
cause ain’t no surviving a crash like that
the present is here to be uncertain
the past and the future are merely a diversion
spent several years slowly steering through their currents
trying not to let school interfere with my learning
no heroes, the person i revere is the person in the mirror
perfectly aware of my purpose i persevere
worst was here and i purged it
what disappeared from the surface was fear
we hold pain like the weight of it is an honor
can’t recognize our face when you take away the problems
face to face with karma from mistakes we made
but when stakes get raised we chase away the drama
reaching the pace where greatness contradicts
what they predict we’re capable of accomplishing
let my voice pave the way beyond the future
music give me strength and place me in your armor
this is confidence not of faith
nor belief in external plots to draw our fate
this is pure internal strength and will
to envision the future we want and make it real today

(singing 4 x) still so far to go

(singing 2x) i know, still so far to go
