about

As creatives we go through a lot of ups and downs in our career and even with our mental health, in the age of information and social media it’s easy to compare our journey and trajectory with others. Comparison is the thief of joy. This song is a reminder to enjoy your path no matter how long it takes to reach your destination, what’s for you is for you and will manifest in due time. “Ain’t No Shortcuts”

lyrics

No Shortcuts

Verse:

Ain’t no shortcuts
Got to take the long road
Got to the long road
It’s a journey
What’s for me is for me
This my story
Living life exploring
Ain’t no shortcuts
Got to take the long road
Let it all unfold
Let it all unfold
Rome wasn’t built in a day
I ain’t come here to play
African queen
Gone head slay
You a bad bitch bae
Big facts and you know it!
When they try to put you down
Gone and head show it
You educated
Brilliant
Beautiful
Don’t make sense that you work in a cubicle

Bridge:

Whatever your heat desires
Be passionate on fire
Be confident young shawty
What’s for me is for me
Writing your story
Give god the glory
Be passionate on fire
Do what you heart desires
Dreams can not expire
Be passionate on fire

Outro:

Ain’t no short cuts
Got to take the long road
Got to take the long road
