Long Time Lyrics

I been tryna see some light here for a long time

Yeah, yeah, for a long time

I know at times it looks like it's a wonderful shine

Even tho at times, it's never too bright

I used to think about them days when we caused havoc

Up in them houses, piggy banks and their allowance

We searched it all found a thousand in that mattress

Turned it into Three now you know the rest is magic

It had to happen, wasn't even in the plans

I had to hit that But I hope they understand

The ones who came from nothing really got some sticky hands

At least that's what it looks like in my eyes and I don't doubt

That the kid will ever have a better route

Lived in the gutter so my mind was never safe

I used to hit the door and went up on my way

Would you question a youngin with a smile on his face? I had to Fake it

If I wanted to make it I fixed my laces, then got back on the pavement

I remembered all the times when we took shit for granted

Didn't even know how to feel cause we grew up empty handed

I know you know this shit is real and it's such a disaster

Took it upon your own hands cause you wanted to have it

Cause you wanted to have it

I know exactly how you feel, Trust me you ain't dramatic

It's kinda crazy, how your mind drives you to do things

I'm tryna change for the better, Slowly improving

I know I put up a battle and I ain't losing

The same way you should too, cmon let's get to moving

We already seen it all, so seeing money ain't amusing

It's so hard to count my blessings but i'm thankful i'm still breathing

And thankful god kept on watching over me and gave me options

I'm so sorry that I left you I just had too many problems

Yeah, too many problems

I was left on my own I had to go and solve 'em

I picked my head up and realized how far i'd fallen

It was hard for me to do that, now just look just at how i'm coming

Soon we gon take off I know there watching

I told them it's gone be alright just watch the process

It's said and worked upon now look at how I got this

Stacked my cheddar, Made investments, We gone get rich, Be some bosses

Now i'm thinking differently being broke is for the weak

How do you expect to change when you been poisoning the tree

It don't even make no sense there's no need to go pretend

If I based it off a drill, you'd be stuck climbing the fence
