Gwen Stefani - Long Way To Go Lyrics






We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

His/Her skin wasn't the same color as mine but he/she was fine,
he/she was fine
If all men are made equal then he/she was fine, he/she was fine
Up until the time we went out on a date, I was fine, I was fine
Now I'm getting dirty looks I wonder what they'd say if we were
blind,we were blind people
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

Beauty is beauty, whether it's black or white
Yellow or green baby, you know what I mean
What if Picasso only used one color?
There shouldn't be a rule how to choose your lover

Lovers in love such a wonderful thing
Maybe in time we'll get together and sing
I really hope so, there's nothing wrong with this picture
We got a long way to go, we gotta get there quicker

We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

What color is love? [x3]
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

... the all men are created equal...
... children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by...
... the color of their skin...
... but by the content of their character...
... this will be the day when all of God's children...
... will be able to sign with a new meaning....
... not only that.....

    This song was on her debut album, which was released in 2004.

    S.... M....

    I think I know why people were staring..............#Underagerelationships

    s.... ....

    Fine*, not Five.

  18. C.... ....

    And people still want to call her racist?

  19. b.... w....

    love this song ♪

  20. K.... R....

    This song stuck with me as a kid, her style was so different from anyone I had ever heard and I was in love!!!!!

  21. L.... A....

    Was reminded of this song randomly , still listening in 2017 🎶🎵💕

  22. p.... g....

    I've noticed that when people refer to Latin Americans, people use the term Mexican instead of Hispanic or latina(o ), and as a Colombian that slightly triggers me

    p.... g....

    Sydney M ya honestly, I'm fine with it as long as people aren't purposely doing it as a way to discriminate against me, like telling me to get out of the country

    p.... g....

    yes exactly!!! I get it all the time, "oh so you're half Mexican" well I guess you could say that lol

    p.... g....

    @Sydney M I feel ya fam

    p.... g....

    i don't hear that as much as "Spanish".. now THAT really grinds my gears

    p.... g....

    Ur part of the problem if u think Mexican is a bad word or an Insult

  23. a.... ....

    I can't believe that Gwen Stefani ended racism.

    a.... ....

    But she started up the whole Blond vs Brunette debate all over again.
    I have no DOUBT it will ever end.

    a.... ....

    I say this every time this song pops in my head

    a.... ....

    I forgot until I read your comment that white women don't get to use their platform to speak out against public judgement of biracial relationships as though they know from experience what it's like to be judged under those circumstances. Also, Andre 3000 is the other voice on this song. Does he get to talk about being black? just wondering...

    a.... ....

    She got further than you

    a.... ....

    @Lady McBox it's a joke geez

  24. M.... S....

    This song oddly makes me think of downtown Pittsburgh on a college campus in autumn.

  25. X.... ....

    sounds like somethin straight out a sonic adventure

    X.... ....

    Upgrade computer!

    X.... ....

    ''oh no''

    X.... ....

    Nah bro, it's from Jet Set Radio.

  26. l.... ....

    oh my god

    l.... ....

    (in a good way)

  27. B.... C....

    Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" Speech. :)

  28. b.... j....

    omg i loved every song in LAMB but this one and i now love this one the most

  29. T.... ....

    I got into this song because of Andre 3000 collaborating with Gorillaz.....I was a Gorillaz fan.

  30. T.... P....

    THIS SONG SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

    T.... P....

    *sings for itself

    T.... P....

    Griffin Zink it’s a phrase.

  31. T.... P....

    @leapfrog897 hate is a terrible thing especially when it concerns color&Race. People can't help what color and race they are. All I can say is the only thing to conquer hate is with the opposite of hate: LOVE. Do hold your head up and strive on. I don't know if you believe in GOD or not but he made no mistakes. Dating someone of a different race & color shouldn't matter but to some people it does.

    T.... P....

    I appreciate your comment. I do believe in God👍😍

  32. V.... M....

    I must be wo/menopausal or x-tra sensitive cause I am bawlin my eyez out to this... And, it's a very relevant song for 2-daze world...

  33. M.... S....

    This song feels like Outkast and the lyrics are so deep and detailed I love it, Gwen and Andre keep doing yo thing

  34. K.... M....

    I noticed the style of Outkast immediately...love this song.,

  35. M.... ....

    Goddamn Andre 3k has a nice voice

  36. �.... ....

    this is a epic song :3 i love it :D i wanna sing it :3 love is love...beauty is beauty :D

  37. t.... ....

    Forgot about this! Such a good song and a great message!  And the chorus synth is great.

    t.... ....

    I dont understand. What is the song about?

    t.... ....

    It's about the stigma attached to interracial relationships.

  38. D.... M....

    This beat always reminded me of a Sonic The Hedgehog game. Ha!

    D.... M....

    the piano little parts...?

    D.... M....

    Nah bro, it sounds like Jet Set Radio.

    D.... M....

    Ridge Racer R Type 4 lol

  39. D.... M....

    This song says it's by Gwen Stefani and features Andre 3000, but it's actually the other way around. This song along with Kelis' "Millionaire" with Dre were both originally intended for his album, "The Love Below", but he had to shorten the album, so he gave the songs to Gwen and Kelis to use on their albums. Here is one of the lost "Love Below" songs! :)

    D.... M....

    @Daniel Marzella I'd prefer Millionaire to Dracula's Wedding.. (i like dracula's wedding btw)

  40. w.... i....

    3 STACKS GUURRRLLL

  41. A.... L....

    Sounds more like Outkast than Gwen Stefani

  42. D.... M....

    This song reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog!

  43. R.... S....

    Yes yes everybody's racist. But it's not just against black people, white people get it to, I'm sick of people thinking that only black people get discriminated, noo, Mexicans, Asians, And white people do. It's a fact, everybody's racist against everybody. It sucks but that's how it is.

    R.... S....

    Marisa Salamone you can't be racist to white people it's Impossible there's a reason why other race hate white people and the reason is because they're racist, most times when people say they hate white people is not because they are white it's because they hate how they get treated by white people

    R.... S....

    Sterling Twist wow you're very stupid

    R.... S....

    Biscuit you’re fucking stupid lmao dumb bitch

    R.... S....

    Biscuit bet you one of those tide eating mf

    R.... S....

    4 things I want to say

    1: Rose people don't just think only black people get discriminated.

    2: Sterling you are foolish to believe you can't be racist to white people because you can be towards anybody.

    3: Biscuit don't be rude

    4: HoTImPortMid NighT clean your childish potty mouth because you sound like a triggered drama queen.

  44. s.... ....

    Turns out this song was a tribute to Rosa Parks. Rest in peace, Rosa.
    On that note, I haven't listened to this song in years but it still carries the same message - love really isn't a heterosexual/Caucasian privilege. I love it.

  45. a.... ....

    Wish there was an instrumental to this.

  46. M.... S....

    you're retarted

    M.... S....

    Milan Stojiljkovic you*

  47. G.... W....

    lol you're a blatant racist, just leave. you will never get with the times and there is no point arguing that.

  48. j.... g....

    Reguardless, inter-racial dating & marriage is WRONG. & There are plenty people of both races to go around, no need to date someone of a different race. & I'm not racist. There is nothing wrong with people of diff races being friends.

    j.... g....

    I sure hope after 4 yrs of experience you've gotten less ignorant. Shame on your parents for corrupting you with stupidity because they damn sure had input into your mindset

    j.... g....

    jenna gray I bet money if you have or had a daughter between these last 4 years she's gonna end up liking someone tht isn't white

    j.... g....

    You look inbred.

    j.... g....

    I'm dying lmao

    j.... g....

    What color is love?

  49. L.... ....

    @leapfrog897 wowww i wonder what part of the country you live in because where i live people don't discriminate or hate it when someone goes out with someone a different skin color ethnicity...

  50. L.... ....

    i had this album when it first came out!! i think i was in 5th or sixth grade...

  51. a.... ....

    terrible song wouuuuuuuh ryth'm brother ryth'm

  52. F.... ....

    One of my favorite songs ever by Gwen!! :) Gwen Stefani forever!! :D Can't wait for the new No Doubt album!! ^_^

  53. c.... ....

    @HKsWorld OH BOY!!!!!!!!!! WAWAWAWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  54. l.... ....

    @HKsWorld Lol thank you <3

  55. j.... ....

    wow..awesome message! ^_^

  56. q.... ....

    @idiyamin7 Yeah, for real. Mutts are the healthiest (not to mention cutest) of dogs.

  57. a.... ....

    I'm sorry but this is the worst song of the album. The rest is flawless one of the best albums I've ever heard, but this is just a disappointment. :(

    a.... ....

    americanohooker why

  58. a.... ....

    His skin wasn't the same color as mine
    But he was fine, he was fine
    Beauty is beauty, whether it's black or white
    3:)

    a.... ....

    Yeah what about in between, 50 shades of Grey?
    Is that beautiful too?

  59. c.... ....

    @hinachan70 Oh boyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  60. K.... ....

    @chadergeist Oh my lord, you are stupid beyond belief and very narrow minded :)

  61. i.... ....

    My favorites are Serious, Bubble Pop Electric, Crash and what you waiting for :)

  62. c.... ....

    @chadergeist Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  63. i.... ....

    @chadergeist your analogy was wrong and shows your low level of education here is the correct one: a pitbull is breed a dog and there are different colors of them, and it is perfectly normal for those colors to mate with one another. cats dont mate with dogs because they are two separate species, however a black man and a white woman are both homo sapiens therefore mating is normal.

  64. K.... R....

    @Ginny1441 Trust me! My favorites are Bubble Pop Electric, U Started It & The Real Thing :)

  65. c.... ....

    @idiyamin7 HAHAHAHA OH BOY!

  66. i.... ....

    @chadergeist lol whats your level of education? that might be the most uneducated statement iv seen for racism

  67. c.... ....

    @stronghold10a I'll get happy again. Thank you.

  68. Z.... S....

    @chadergeist black and white are like dogs and cats???? I am very sorry for you... two different kinds??? for god sake you are really sad, not stupid or dumb, but just sad.

  69. f.... 7....

    damn this is a nice song. nice melody and the basdeline is incredible

  70. c.... ....

    @TeleTapir What's that suppose to mean?

  71. c.... ....

    It's not hatred, it's going against things that are meant to be from Mother Nature. white and black are humans, just like cats and dogs are animals. You don't see them humping each other and inbreeding. We as humans, there in the black and white area we are two different kinds of racial human beings like cats and dogs are different kinds of racial animals. Our familytree isnot meant to be tainted. Whites have white children & blacks have black children, so forth the parents being of same race.

  72. l.... ....

    @angelwingz333 Hatred is a strong and seems to be a never gone thing. And we have to live with that. Like the song says we gotta long way to go.
    I always say to them now, we were all blind, what would we do? Only then would we have to choose based on the inside. Not the outside, which is judgement. Or what we expect, like a certain colour, but we don't know what is in front of us until we look deeper..

  73. G.... E....

    @leapfrog897 I'm with you! I love my baby, I don't care what his skin colour is. But it hurts that people still ask me, 'why him?'. Who cares what someone looks like, all you gotta know is if you love them for who they are!! Btw, if people are throwing stuff at you, then they really oughta learn that they don't have to live with your boo, you do. So why do they care?

  74. G.... ....

    everybody is like " omg its what u waiting for?" or "hollaback girls! i kniow the lyrics ! im a true fan!!" no one realizes the amazing tracks on the album without vids. if ur a true thumbs up if u agree.. :D

  75. m.... ....

    This is still true even now :(

  76. a.... ....

    @LeeRandom umm i wasnt actually laughing at it literally

    and yeah i did make typo

  77. a.... ....

    international dating lmao

  78. l.... ....

    I go with a person who is not my color and at my school they laugh and point and stare, even throw objects. It hurts me not that they do it but that what people have been working so hard to get rid of is still here. What some people gave their lives for. World peace.

  79. G.... G....

    this song is coolz
