A Long Way Away from My Country

Lyrics

[Intro: Kobie Dee] Yeah, right [Verse 1: Kobie Dee] See, these city lights burn my eyes, I can't lie Reminisce of back home where the starlight shine Think of a place like mine where I ease my mind Right back on country, everything all fine But in these concrete jungles where I lay my head I feel blessed for where I am because I could be dead I stay shootin' for the stars but use a differеnt kind of lead With a different kind of brеd with some different kind of bread I'm a young Black king for my young Black kin Proud of this melanin up under my brown skin And if we never win, as long as we went in They say we livin' in sin, that's the words that they sing I'm just waiting for the day that I'll be back home And my daughter's all grown up so she can be shown Where her ancestors roam and the Gomeroi own And the Mehi float, that's where I call home [Chorus: Kobie Dee] I'm a long way from my country It's a long time since I've reappeared Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky Run away 'cause you might get speared I'm a long way away from my country It's a long time since I've reappeared Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky Run away 'cause you might get speared [Post-Chorus: Kobie Dee & Bea Moon] I'm a long way away I'm a long away (I'm a long way away) Said I'm a long away (Yeah) Yeah, I'm a long way away [Verse 2: Kobie Dee] I'm a long way away, but I still feel you in my spirit You hear it in these lyrics, I ain't one for the gimmicks I hold it down for my people, I'm hopin' all of you feel it I do this all for our healing, I never try to conceal it I feel the wind across my arms, the heat on my face I'm free like a Dhinawan, they still tryna get a taste I'ma stay forever calm, just don't get up in your space If you do, then I'ma put you in your place I'm a young Black man on Bidjigal land But these Gomeroi hands turn a brick wall to sand I'ma do this for the fam, I don't think they understand Everything will go as planned before we go back to the land [Chorus: Kobie Dee] I'm a long way from my country It's a long time since I've reappeared Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky Run away 'cause you might get speared I'm a long way away from my country It's a long time since I've reappeared Where the red dirt fly across the clear blue sky Run away 'cause you might get speared [Post-Chorus: Kobie Dee & Bea Moon] I'm a long way away I'm a long away (I'm a long way away) Said I'm a long away (Yeah) Yeah, I'm a long way away [Outro: Bea Moon] I'm a long way away I'm a long way away Oh, oh
