Joel Bleu - The Long Way Lyrics

Girl it's getting late
And I think that we should move
But she told me I should wait
Cause it's only me & you
Take the long way
So that we can cruise
Take the long way
There's nothing left to lose
Baby girl it's getting late
And I think that we should move
But she told me I should wait
Cause it's only me & you
Take the long way
So that we can cruise
Take the long way
There's nothing left to lose
I truthfully think that it's time to go home
Baby we out here alone
Told her that it's getting spooky and shit
All the sunlight is officially gone
She told me I'm chattin
And sound like a kid
This the perfect chance
To show that we grown
I know you tryna hear the sound of our skin
I'm concerned about the shade of my tone
I know it sound old
But baby, look, I'm just man with some color
In a different era, you'd have called me your brother
Lingo used amongst negroes, and siblings
And clearly we do not relate to each other
Maybe we does
But not in that way
See we don't share blood
But we got the same
Struggles and shit on a regular basis
You see the intent when they look in our faces
I'll go to war just to keep you the safest
I'll f*ck up tigers, bears and even the racists
You gotta face it, though, look in the mirror
It's clear we ain't safe inside these kinda places
She told me wait
My baby relax
You carry this weight
Alone on your back
And I ain't telling you that maybe you shouldn't
But no where's safer for a man than his woman
Girl it's getting late
And I think that we should move
But she told me I should wait
Cause it's only me & you
Take the long way
So that we can cruise
Take the long way
There's nothing left to lose
Baby girl it's getting late
And I think that we should move
But she told me I should wait
Cause it's only me & you
Take the long way
So that we can cruise
Take the long way
There's nothing left to lose
Now you're confused and think I'm less attracted
Cause I'm nonchalant and out here relaxing
You don't understand
I'm being passive
As a safety measure
On how fine your ass is
Cause I can't be on no thirst
Ain't gon' present myself at my worst
Plus I got discipline
Don't want you feeling like shit again
Not sure if I should move first
Uh
Cause momma told me never rush a relation
And daddy said you only get what you earn
This shit confusing, cause"patience a virtue"
But then they told me"early bird gets the worm"
So I choose to bet on consent
Don't only tell me your pussy is wet
I want you to tell me to beat it
How badly you need it
And needless to say what comes next
Cause they say slow & steady
Always wins the race
But then nice guys will always finish last
And how direction matters more than the pace
We know time is running out fast
So what's on your mind
I feel like I'm killing your vibe
I should pull over and stop
She told me to drive
Ain't even on that type of time
Cause she's in the mood to give top
Oh
Girl it's getting late
And I think that we should move
But she told me I should wait
Cause it's only me & you
Take the long way
So that we can cruise
Take the long way
There's nothing left to lose
Baby girl it's getting late
And I think that we should move
But she told me I should wait
Cause it's only me & you
Take the long way
So that we can cruise
Take the long way
There's nothing left to lose
Take the long
Take the long way
Take the long
Take the long
The long way
With me tonight
Take the long way
Take the long way
Take the long way, baby
