[Verse 1] Took a leap when everybody said to settle, played it safe until my spirit started rustlin' like a kettle, packed my dreams into a bag and bet it all against the metal odds, decided that I'd rather gamble than to peddle backwards, every mile that I'm travelin' got levels to it, every risk that I'm takin' got a reason I'm devoted to, ain't chasin' no fast money, I'm attached to somethin' truthful, buildin' slow but what I'm buildin' can't get snatched, it's indestructible. [Hook] I'm goin' places, takin' every chance I get, I'm goin' places, ain't got time for no regret, I'm goin' places, puttin' in the work for real, I'm goin' places — long haul, that's the deal. [Verse 2] They want overnight, I'm buildin' somethin' built to outlast, plantin' trees I might not live to see the shadow of and doubt cast, movin' with a purpose, calculated, never movin' too fast, every door I'm knockin' on I'm walkin' through it, no glass ceilin' in the past, this the long game, this the real game, this the one that's worth the pullin', every effort compoundin', every second that I'm foolin' with the process gets discountin' what I'm buildin' when it's full, ain't no givin' up when I'm this close, ain't no turnin' back at all. [Hook] I'm goin' places, takin' every chance I get, I'm goin' places, ain't got time for no regret, I'm goin' places, puttin' in the work for real, I'm goin' places — long haul, that's the deal. [Bridge] Long haul, long road, still I go, still I go, every chance that I take just gon' help me grow, help me grow, every chance that I take just gon' help me grow, help me grow. [Verse 3] So I keep movin' forward even when the pathway ain't apparent, took a chance on myself when the outcome wasn't guaranteed or transparent, every effort that I'm puttin' in accumulatin', compoundin' and inherent, this ain't no sprint I'm runnin', this a marathon, patient and coherent, so I pace it, so I face it, every hardship that I earn it, every setback just a lesson, every mile I gotta learn it, I'm goin' places nobody thought that I could reach or determine, plantin' seeds today for harvest that tomorrow gon' return it. [Hook — final] I'm goin' places, takin' every chance I get, I'm goin' places, ain't got time for no regret, I'm goin' places, puttin' in the work for real, I'm goin' places — long haul, that's the deal. [Outro tag] I'm goin' places... I'm goin' places... Long haul, that's the deal.
