Long Time
For a long time
Tryna ease the pain
Said we been down for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we been struggling for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Know we been hurting for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we been down for a long time
Tryna ease the pain
Been fighting through the rain
Said we been down for a long time
Know we been hurting for a long time
Can't wait to put my dawgs on
Cuz this hurt feel all wrong
Like can I tell my story right before for y'all all go?
I was last of three children I wasn't perfect in fact
I was the one that was different who would've thought I'd be that
I was the one that told my parents man I'm gonna be great
You can see it in my eyes when you look at my face
I was the one that told my teacher that I'm gonna be something
That same teacher looked at me and said I wouldn't be nothing
I just smile I beat the odds off the color of skin
Been taking notes on how to make it this where my story begins
I ain't gone fold under pressure cuz they said I was lesser
Gotta keep my faith up in god not the one on the dresser
I been hurt been tryna smile I been learning my lesson
I'm the one you gone remember you could never forget me
Said we been down for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we been struggling for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Know we been hurting for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we down for a long time
Tryna ease the pain
Been fighting through the rain
Said we been down for a long time
Know we hurting for a long time
But we gone count it up
Tryna ease the pain
Said we been down for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we been struggling for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Know we been hurting for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we been down for a long time
Tryna ease the pain
Been fighting through the rain
Said we been down for a long time
Know we been hurting for a long time
Can't wait to put my dawgs on
Cuz this hurt feel all wrong
Like can I tell my story right before for y'all all go?
I was last of three children I wasn't perfect in fact
I was the one that was different who would've thought I'd be that
I was the one that told my parents man I'm gonna be great
You can see it in my eyes when you look at my face
I was the one that told my teacher that I'm gonna be something
That same teacher looked at me and said I wouldn't be nothing
I just smile I beat the odds off the color of skin
Been taking notes on how to make it this where my story begins
I ain't gone fold under pressure cuz they said I was lesser
Gotta keep my faith up in god not the one on the dresser
I been hurt been tryna smile I been learning my lesson
I'm the one you gone remember you could never forget me
Said we been down for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we been struggling for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Know we been hurting for a long time
Know we gone count it up
Said we down for a long time
Tryna ease the pain
Been fighting through the rain
Said we been down for a long time
Know we hurting for a long time
But we gone count it up
