Lyrics
The road ahead is long but we stand strong,
Hundred million miles from where we belong,
Say why risk it? Why not?
The dreams all I got,
So we ain’t gon stop stepping 'til we on,
Keep my eyes on the prize,
From night to the sunrise,
See the danger but it never phase us,
We light the way 'cuz we trailblazers
And we never letting up so God hear our prayers,
From a place where they fight to survive,
Where niggas know death before they can open they eyes,
From like the age of 5, we had the vision,
Gotta make it out fast, they will not catch me slippin'
Tie ya shoes and walk ya path young blood,
Don’t forget ya paths, remember the place that you came from
Sometimes you gotta fight,
So give it all ya heart,
Learn to play your cards,
No matter what, shoot ya best shot,
Gotta get up gotta go,
Gotta pack it up and leave everything that you know,
It’s a lonely road,
But we stay steppin',
Using hope as our weapon,
When it gets dark we look to the heavens,
The road ahead is long but we stand strong,
Hundred million miles from where we belong,
Say why risk it? Why not?
The dreams all I got,
So we ain’t gon stop stepping 'til we on,
Keep my eyes on the prize,
From night to the sunrise,
See the danger but it never phase us,
We light the way 'cuz we trailblazers
And we never letting up so God hear our prayers,
And we ain’t never letting go,
Been on this road,
It’s feelin' like the only thing I know,
What is hope when doubt floods your brain?
I look around at all my fam and that’s what keep me sane,
I choose to focus on the love and not the hate,
Picture sunny days while every day we marching through the rain,
Turn the pain into passion,
Dreams are everlasting,
Ready for the action,
Down to face it,
Cuz I’m rollin' w the strong,
Man this road is so long,
We don’t let up,
Keep my head up,
Got each other so what else is it that we really gon need,
Battles bring us to our knees,
But we rise,
And we walk it out
Staring danger in the eyes
That’s what we about!
So we stand, hand in hand,
Gazing ahead for the promised land,
Jungles, valleys, winds and sands,
Whatever’s next is God’s Plan,
So we stand hand in hand,
At the silhouette of the promised land,
A million miles that we have ran,
A million stories began,
The road ahead is long but we stand strong,
Hundred million miles from where we belong,
Say why risk it? Why not?
The dreams all I got,
So we ain’t gon stop stepping 'til we on,
Keep my eyes on the prize,
From night to the sunrise,
See the danger but it never phase us,
We light the way cuz we trailblazers
And we never letting up so God hear our prayers
