Wrong Way Lyrics - Garren

[Chorus] 

Man I had to go the long way, long way 

Yeah I had to go the long way, long way 

Niggas all around me gang bang, dope slang 

So I had to go my own way 

[Verse 1] 

Yeah I was on the wrong shit 

Tried to stunt like my daddy, thought I was a crip 

No idea what I'm bout to get in 

Only problem is I didn't really fit in 

I remember I was twelve 'bout to be a blood 

Athens park on El Segundo niggas showed me love 

I didn't even want to bang, I wanted brotherhood 

But when you really from the gang you dyin' for the hood 

Fuck it then I ain't gon' bang, I love my life, I'm good 

I ain't tryna to die, I ain't tryna to go to jail 

I'm already talkin' to my dad through the mail 

He got back out then went back in 

He made another sale, got another strike 

Rolled another dice, gotta pay the price, had to miss my life 

Still ain't in my life, oh yeah

[Chorus] 

I made that choice, made that choice 

And I kept my poise, kept my poise 

That's the smartest thing I done 

Man I had to go the long way, long way 

Yeah I had to go the long way, long way 

Niggas all around me gang bang, dope slang 

So I had to go my own way 

[Verse 2] 

Lot of niggas took the short way 

Lot of niggas didn't see today 

Lot of niggas made their momma pay 

My homie just got sprayed today 

It's the summer of the eighth grade 

And he already in his grave 

Got up on my knees and prayed 

Lord help me see the way 

Lord help the people operatin' off of hate 

Please keep all my family safe 

All I'm tryna do is see their face 

When I make a change, when I rearrange? 

Get up out the struggle, stay up on my hustle 

Still put in the work 

I was grindin' I was gettin' money, drummin' for the church 

And if I stay up in them streets, I'll end up hurt 

That's the day I gave myself a little worth 

I don't wanna see my life go down the drain, nah 

I can't let all this energy just go to waste, nah nah

I made that choice, made that choice 

And I kept my poise, kept my poise 

That's the smartest thing I done 

Man I had to go the long way, long way 

Yeah I had to go the long way, long way 

Niggas all around me gang bang, dope slang 

So I had to go my own way 

[Outro] 

Don't be scared to go the long way 

Don't be scared to take your own way 

Save your momma from the hurt and pain 

If you handle life the wrong way, the wrong way 

You gon' pay, yah
