TOO LONG (feat. Latifah)

Uh
Let's Make It. Make It

Uh
I been working for too long, struggling too long
Breaking down my bones, working too long
I been struggling all my life (All my life)
Working all my life (All my life man)
Tryna live the life, but I'm tryna do it right
Man, I been hustling all night (Hustling all night)
Tryna get my paper right (Get my paper right)
So, my lady called my phone (My lady called my phone)
She said, Daddy you been gone for too long (Too long)
When you coming home? I don't know

All I really know is that I gotta get dough
Gotta elevate. I'm tired of being on the flo'
Man, it's hot on the block where them boys kick doors
That's the same spot where them boys sell O's
A wiseman said, when that money call, go
'Cause if you ain't getting loot, then them girls won't go
If you ain't got a bankroll, might as well get a rope
'Cause without a bankroll, you ain't got no hope
Am I getting at it? No question. Sometime it gets stressing
But, I'm progressing, finessing, no resting
Following my dreams, no fear
Don't know where I belong, but I shouldn't be here
Slave all day just to get some new gear
Right arm hurt, steady switching these gears
Feel like I'm at the rear, can't see clear
I'm tired. Ima quit this job 'cause

I been working for too long, struggling too long
Breaking down my bones, working too long
I been struggling all my life (All my life)
Working all my life (All my life man)
Tryna live the life, but I'm tryna do it right
Man, I been hustling all night (Hustling all night)
Tryna get my paper right (Get my paper right)
So, my lady called my phone (My lady called my phone)
She said, Daddy you been gone for too long (Too long)
When you coming home? I don't know

All I really know is that I gotta get dough
Tired of being broke. Got shit to do
Man, I want some new shoes and my girl do too
But, I can't get nothing. Why? 'Cause the rent due
And the phone due. And the cable
Tank on E, gotta make it through the week
Every single night, it's getting harder to sleep
Man, it's hard in the streets. Yeah, it's hard for a P
I to get by, living in the Chi, tryna live the life without a suit & tie
You can tell I'm stressed. I got a twitch in my eye
I don't even smoke, thinking 'bout getting high
Tell me why every single time stuff get rough man we get out of character
I don't know why, but my blood pressure high
Light it up. Ima hit it one time 'cause

I been working for too long, struggling too long
Breaking down my bones, working too long
I been struggling all my life (All my life)
Working all my life (All my life man)
Tryna live the life, but I'm tryna do it right
Man, I been hustling all night (Hustling all night)
Tryna get my paper right (Get my paper right)
So, my lady called my phone (My lady called my phone)
She said, Daddy you been gone for too long (Too long)
When you coming home? I don't know

All I really know is that I gotta get dough
Once I get dough, shit I gotta get mo'
Won't stop. Headed to the top, won't drop
High to the drop top. Bye to the bus stop
But, it's just a dream. Right now, I'm still here
Crowded at the bottom. Gotta get up out of here
Struggling, suffering too many years
No work, no gear, new day, new tears
Gotta make it out. I been in hell too long
Let my homies out. They been in jail too long
Man, I need bread. Been in debt too long
Might go crazy. The stress too strong
Rich muhfuckers saying, keep ya head up
Fuck a pep talk. Tell me how to get my bread up
This struggling shit, I can't take it
Success, let's take it
I'm ready. Let's Make It 'cause

I been working for too long, struggling too long
Breaking down my bones, working too long
I been struggling all my life (All my life)
Working all my life (All my life man)
Tryna live the life, but I'm tryna do it right
Man, I been hustling all night (Hustling all night)
Tryna get my paper right (Get my paper right)
So, my lady called my phone (My lady called my phone)
She said, Daddy you been gone for too long (Too long)
When you coming home? I don't know

When you coming home? When-When you coming home? I don't know
