Story Behind The Song

The reality is, I am not from Madison, Wisconsin. I am from Peoria, Illinois. I am a long way from home doing what I love, making new friends, and creating resources to make this dream more accessible to those i encourage along the way. #WeTheWay

Song Description

The time has come for local artists to cash in on their influence out'loud. Led by 1neofmani, the self-titled "Midwest Local Mogul" has created the theme song for traveling artists located outside of their hometown pursuing their music careers. It is a lot that comes with being the new guy/girl in town who happens to create music in the territorial space called hip-hop. When on a mission there is nothing like a focused mind. Being a long way from home can make or break you but 1neofmani was made to inspire all that engage with his music no matter where they are from.

Lyrics

chorus
We took a chance
lord's will, we'll advance
God got me they preying
Like I'm playing without plans
We demand (listen)
Take flight on everything
And land
Exercising my hand
(yeah)
Game free
Well they Paying
This an advance
Listen
Don't follow me follow scripture
I Ain't sugar coating sh*t
I say BLACK POWER
Both fists
I got some fake friends
And some new ones
Came with the money
power and the music
I know it's business
So ion confuse it
Nobody's perfect
But Don't over do it
The moment it surface
We gotta pursue it
know that my purpose is partially ruined
made some mistakes
Only God can renew em
As long as we living
We gotta do thru em

chorus:
Cuh I came a long long long
Long way from home
I got a second one
We was just referencing
Coming from somewhere
Nobody represents
So we went a long
Long way from home
They came to see us
And call out the trends
Study our living
So yall can pretend
Who keeping the score
For this Easy Win

I'm bout to bait em
reel em in
Looking for leaders
Look again
The man in the mirror
look At him
Ducking yourself
For the sake of yo friends
Go with your gut
If you playing to Win
Selling us dreams
But I got a plan
And i just submitted for
Further exams
team is committed
We taking a stance
Stay independent
Supply and demand
Grow with the business
hire some hands
I got the vision
They see what I'm saying
game giver
write it down or you playing
Local Leaders need allegiance man
1neofmani worth believing in
Say it again (This an Easy Win)

Chorus:
We took a chance
lord's will, we'll advance
God got me they preying
Like I'm playing without plans
We demand (listen)
Take flight on everything
And land
Exercising my hand
(yeah)
Game free
Well they Paying
I came a long long long
Long way from home
I got a second one
We was just referencing
Coming from somewhere
Nobody represents
So we went a long
Long way from home
They came to see us
And call out the trends
Study our living
So yall can pretend
Who keeping the score
For this Easy Win




2nd verse:
I'm bout to bait em

Looking for leaders

we with the wolves
haters approve this

dollars and numbers
we tipping the runners
cuh we smoking back-to-back-to-back
in front of the business funnel
