Down Too Long
Too up, you can't bring me down, look how high I'm sittin' now
Even when I fall, I never see the ground, yeah
Juiced up, had to get the crown, told 'em you could do the count
Add it up and bring it down if you want, yeah
Yeah, I've been down too long to stay, yeah
Had to find a better way, yeah
I've been down too long to stay, yeah
Had to find a better way
I've been pacing back and forth, I need help
Nearly lost my life and went to jail
I've been tryna stay alive for a reason, uh-huh
Devil in my mind, tryna kill me, uh-huh
I said "Teach me, God, please don't leave me"
I'ma make it big, mama, you gon' see the TV
I'ma make it big, you gon' see your son rollin' (Rollin')
Remember high school, we was ridin', it was stolen (Stolen)
You said I was chosen (Yes sir!)
You just wrapped Your arms around me and stopped controllin'
Still don't know my purpose in my life, but He gon' show me
I was really down, I was bad, I was stuck (Uh-huh)
'Til I got my life in, now He makin' sure I'm up (Uh-huh)
But I thank God for the sunshine (Sun-shine)
I've been down too long to stay, yeah (Long, long)
Told the clouds to go away, yeah (Go away)
Think I found a better place
Too up, you can't bring me down, look how high I'm sittin' now
Even when I fall, I never see the ground, yeah (Ooh, ooh, uh, uh)
Juiced up, had to get the crown, told 'em you could do the count
Add it up and bring it down if you want, yeah (Ayy, ooh)
Yeah, I've been down too long to stay, yeah
Had to find a better way, yeah
I've been down too long to stay, yeah (Oh)
Had to find a better way (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
They always ask me how He made a way
I never quit, I wanted to, a couple times, I wanted to
The sun is just a honeymoon, I'ma tryna see what summer do
Boy, they hate to see you worship God and get the money too
Now lookin' back at 2020, got me masked up (Uh-huh)
I'll be honest, all that pressure had me pressed up (Oh, oh)
But it's summertime shinin' (Shinin')
I know if it's for me, it's gon' come in perfect timin'
I knowin' some people from my past wanna fight me (Oh, oh)
Gave my life to Jesus, don't you ever think you fright me
Devil always tryna throw a curve, I told him "Strike three"
Been losin', we gon' fightin'
All the darkness in the work, ain't ever cover up my light, G
Hold on, that's it?
Too up, you can't bring me down, look how high I'm sittin' now
Even when I fall, I never see the ground, yeah (Ooh, ooh, uh, uh)
Juiced up, had to get the crown, told 'em you could do the count
Add it up and bring it down if you want, yeah (Ayy, ooh)
Yeah, I've been down too long to stay, yeah
Had to find a better way, yeah
I've been down too long to stay, yeah (Oh)
Had to find a better way (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yeah, I've been down too long to stay, yeah
Had to find a better way, yeah
I've been down too long to stay, yeah
Had to find a better way, yeah
Even when I fall, I never see the ground, yeah
Juiced up, had to get the crown, told 'em you could do the count
Add it up and bring it down if you want, yeah
Yeah, I've been down too long to stay, yeah
