Verse 1
Yo, I've walked a million miles, seen the frowns and the smiles
spent time with the child of hate and seen hate's child
I've navigated through the heavenlies, took rest upon stars
till the serene sirens were calling all cars
(far from your reach), my speech meets it's match
since I take a batch or wack emcee's and thrust them to the trash
I dash past desolation till it's desert
my chest hurts from this animate search for treasure
I need a map so I can contact all my enemies
the one's who turned their back like the garden of gasamane
all the Judas', and all the others who hurt
all the pimps of the industry who tried to make me work
I sat for a few, will they pay my dues
feeling like I'm used, it's the roads that I choose
why am I abused, I knew all the rules
this isn't news, I'm still lonely and confused
I'll stake my claim on the last acres of my life
consummate the marriage of the music till it's my wife
now I've, strived to cover ground with a fast pace since this life race won't let me to live or die in second place
I should have stayed in the maze, aces need their aid
I'll walk another million miles until my songs played, hey


Verse 2
I've taken all the steps and added up the miles
lived as a child who saw his mother's smiles
perfected the craft that's often been unseen
and I'll walk a million more if asked by Elohim
I've seen just a few, and been with a crew
toured a million miles and paid all my dues
and I'll pay a million more, add em to my styles
cuz I'm stuck in this life walking a million miles
and I'll pay a million more, add em to my styles
cuz I'm stuck in this life walking a million miles
I'll pay a million more, add em to my styles
cuz I'm stuck in this life walking a million miles
