Too Long

It feels like this is the first song I've ever written
Flashbacks of my past life overridden
I had a vision, They say Steve Jobs made the iPhone
They don't know I had the apple back in Eden
It was hidden, Hell yeah, it was forbidden
But I already had the wisdom way before it was eaten
First bite, well before the day of first light
Well before the day man and God had their first fight
This ain't blasphemy, This is a bless from he
I'm tryna tell y'all writing verses is my birth right
That's right
I've been telling stories since day 1
The spirits came, told her to call me the great one, brave one
I stepped into a dark world
Lonely nights, I could hear the moon talking
Once stabbed in the back, so I had to learn moonwalking
Dancing with the ghosts, R.I.P Jackson
My life is a thriller, I swear I could be Jackson...
Yeah man I could be dancing
Took my own path from day 1 like a C-section
Sharp vision, stare into your soul and I can see sections
I talked to God about my dreams, he sent me a letter
It said "I don't care about your dreams boy, I need ACTION!"
So I started running again, Like a re-election
I was in the cold searching for food like the meat section
Peep, I'm knee jerking, reflexes
Knocking out their demons, Tell em "sit little boys you need practice"
You need patience, to learn to be patient, the irony
Feels like I got iron knees
World on my shoulders feels like it's a part of me
I sent a message to my past, I told it to pardon me
But the future replied, told me it's proud of me
But in the present is where I'm always proud to be

I've been working over way too long
Way too long...
I've been waiting over way too long...
Yeah, yeah
Too long... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...
I've been working over way too long
Way too long...
I've been waiting over way too long...
Yeah, yeah
Too long... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...

They say words are free, so they invented the freestyle
But how is it a freestyle when I coin phrases?
They say money talks, I know but my message is priceless
A penny for my thoughts, keep it, all I need is change
Pay respect and attention, cos all I speak is strange
So first of all, I don't know what's more stranger
Is it the odd fact that I was born in a manger
Or the fact that I'm a human although my mum is an angel, I'm a ranger
They asked me, what do you think about the devil?
I don't know man, my daddy taught me not to judge strangers so I cannot say
But it doesn't mean that I cannot pray
I bow down and speak to my soul so I do not stray

I had to lose a few things to become a winner
Food for thought, I had to eat books for dinner, mental feast
It's like evolution never happened
I mean look at me Charles Darwin, clearly I'm still a beast
With an ancient speech
You can hear it through my hyper lyrics
I think in hieroglyphics, No wonder I spit stone verses
Pyramid light, make it shine on your rock paintings
We are the descendants, No wonder we like graffiti
Always on the rise, I'm an enemy to gravity
Cup of tea, you gotta let it burn down

I crossed the bridge of corpses and had to pay my death toll
And they say life is short, well I guess then death is tall
Yes yall, if we let go we make the earth fall
Yeah, yall, If we let go we make the earth fall
They say global warming, all I see is a cold world
Cold hearted souls, we've been burning since the cold war
They say war broke out in heaven, Angels fought
I said of course, heaven was another gold world
Greedy souls always corrupt, always doom knocking
Always stick around your world that's the moon talking

I've been working over way too long
Way too long...
I've been waiting over way too long...
Yeah, yeah
Too long... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...
I've been working over way too long
Way too long...
I've been waiting over way too long...
Yeah, yeah
Too long... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...
