Dark Matter - Long Way Round Lyrics

It doesn't matter as long as it fits the rhetoric
Use everything
The innocent and the veterans
Get attention, threaten everyone present
Take power to devour, now pay attention
One invention of man controls all
The long way round's the man who slow falls
Manipulation, time and the money
Tell em what's your value and now you would know funny
I'm tryna judge you, based off what you gave me
And what you gave me is a W-2 slave sheet
How you choose my worth based off minutes
When time is an illusion I'm currently lost in it
Pop arsenic, be out like your confidence
Now be gone before you get wronged like old tenants
Better check the strength with each sentence
Speak truth like I'm the proof with no edits

I took the Long Way Round (I took the long way round)
I took the Long Way Round
I took the Long Way Round
I took the Long Way Round
I took the Long Way Round

If you got it come on let's play
Come into my spot and then disrespect me
Think they got it they coming with pay
Got me confused I'm stressed every day
Get respect, I wipe off the sweat
You're dirt on my feet

Keep mud off my sneakers
When I'm not doing your job
Act like I'm the one who blew out your speakers
Now what I really wanna know
Is how it feels to go wherever the wind blows
Tell me hi when you're at the show
Mumble in your baritone and everyone knows
Had to check myself a few times
Coming out the woodwork to disrespect me
Oh girl, please don't test your life
I dance with the sprites
Go on and blessed be

I took the Long Way Round (I took the long way round)
I took the Long Way Round
I took the Long Way Round
I took the Long Way Round
I took the Long Way Round
