about

This song is about the journey to becoming a famous rapper and getting the recognition you have worked so hard for and not giving up no matter how hard it becomes as well as enjoying the ride and even taking the scenic route, if by choice or by force, because it is the best and most respected and admired way.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I'm gone on home
On this cobblestone road
With no shoes on
And my feet so cold
On my back there is a stone
A weight I carry on
I bear it on my own
Walk until the early morn
Wear my knees to the bone
Stand up to my feet
Every step I'm taking strong
Walk another mile
On the path to the throne
Would have been at the top
If it wasn't for the snow
But I gotta keep it pushing
Gotta thousand miles to go
I stop to eat a pizza
Treat a rapper like some dough
I'm bout to power up
On my super Mario
Ima no game boy
Ask Nintendo
No mistake
I didn't intend on
That innuendo
I can't miss my shot
I gotta make the free throw
And practice makes better
But it's time to step some more
I work all the while
On this road I place a show
1,000 miles

Verse 2:
See I been
Looking with a telescope
A vision I have yet to know
And yet to find
Yet I define it
You're bound to get my vision
When I tell about it like a Panasonic
My devices mnemonic
Against these vices demonic
With God walking with me
Who can stand against me
Here's the whole list
If I'm wrong please amend me
Ima beat my own path
Like a boxer to a kidney
Ik the destination
I can paint a picture vivid
Of what I've never seen
1,000 miles exceeds my vision
But I can envision
I'm living a dream
For every person sleeping on me
Acting fake and being phony
Testify my testimony
Justify the path I'm going
Peace of mind is just not for me
To defy me is to want it
To define me is the journey
Every step I take
Is a step I take in faith
And while I'm on this track
If I see you in my way
Silly little obstacle
Best believe hopping you
I got another mile to do

Talking:
Yea
And it was no names on that list by the way
Uh... 1,000 Miles

Verse 3:
Please believe I'm not stressing
The scenic is a blessing
I take the time to love it
But don't question who the best is
I can take this stone
And I can crush it with my left hand
Using that one only
But the weight is on my back
Cuz ik y'all waiting on me
And trust me if I stumble
Fall and take a tumble
I'll push up on bloody knuckles
Pull my self up by the buckle
Brush my self off, take a couple
Smack myself and then I'll push on
Cough up all my blood
All my bows, and I'll keep on
I'll take my 1,000 miles
And I'll take 1,000 more
I mean if i have to
I'm not stopping at the goal
I want the extra point
I'm bout to split a couple poles
And if I don't get the vote
I will be running some more
Get to stepping like some kappa's
Or the Martin TV show
And if you get me heated
Y'all funny, you should know
It's all in the name
The Frierson
Shady Side Ori, O
Back to my stroll
1000 miles before I'm home
