ZIMMA - Long Story Short Lyrics

Man, I started without vision
Raising superstition
How my heart knows the best
But my mind never listened
I just followed the advice
Was more like rolling dice
Got me gambling my life
It's a dream I sacrificed
Really kept it going as a backup
From my college to my uni
Till I felt like I had fucked up
Feeling like a fuck up
Missed out, on so much passion
On that dream, it had me dashing
Was holding up rage, had me breathing like a dragon
Just a fraction of the pain, you really can't imagine
Even had Lenz telling me to go and get it
But that vision faded, and I guess I let it
Fast forward in uni, late 2nd year
I started making rap again
Never thought I'd be right here
Never thought I'd have a dream again
Writing all my goals in my notes with a pen
And yeah, I had doubts
Like I had them back then, look
For once, I followed through
Having dreams, to live it soon
How it came to my mind
Imma drop a couple tunes
Just finish what I started
The degree, that had me parted
The advice that I took
Make mum and dad proud, is the goal that I took
Can't leave it all now, yeah, I'd feel like a crook
It's a goal that I took, just look
I had find a way,
To finish off my uni, yeah, I have to graduate
Make mum and dad proud, make em smile for that day
Don't see another way, it's the life that I've paved
2 years done, and I've come so far
Built love for the craft, yeah, I feel it in my heart
I was out on the deep, now I'm floating on a raft
So I finished uni, with the bros
Had a load of stress for the cons
But I guess I had some pros
Cuz I probs wouldn't be where I'm at
Tryna live my dream, I'm really tryna rap
I'm tryna reach the top, I'm tryna have more
This a long story done, It's a long story short
This a long story done, It's a long story short
Yo my bro
Listen, I remember when we was in college
I was telling you 'do what you love' man
That's the most important thing
Man... times flying bro, and now you're doing the thing you love
That's- that's crazy, I'm proud of you man

Man, I started without vision
Raising superstition
How my heart knows the best
But my mind never listened
I just followed the advice
Was more like rolling dice
Got me gambling my life
It's a dream I sacrificed
Really kept it going as a backup
From my college to my uni
Till I felt like I had fucked up
Feeling like a fuck up
Missed out, on so much passion
On that dream, it had me dashing
Was holding up rage, had me breathing like a dragon
Just a fraction of the pain, you really can't imagine
Even had Lenz telling me to go and get it
But that vision faded, and I guess I let it
Fast forward in uni, late 2nd year
I started making rap again
Never thought I'd be right here
Never thought I'd have a dream again
Writing all my goals in my notes with a pen
And yeah, I had doubts
Like I had them back then, look
