Long Time
Yeah I came from nothin'
I spent a long time runnin'
But it's a long time comin'
It's been a long time comin'
Heavy thoughts, that's a burden
Long road, still learnin'
I fought hard and I earned it
I fought hard, yeah I earned it
I never said I was perfect
But God said I was worth it
And now I serve a bigger purpose
And now I'm steppin' on serpents
Yeah I'm steppin' on serpents
And now I'm steppin' on snakes
I used to want to be great
I kept calm, had faith
All real, no games
No hate, all praise
Two arms stay raised
Two doors, one gate
Two wings, no flames
No hurt, no pain
No guilt, no shame
No clouds, no rain
Long Time gettin' here
It wasn't always clear
They try to scare me away, but God is the only man I fear
God said, "Get right with me"
So please enlighten me
Why you try to frighten me
When you see that light in me
The devil spitin' me
But I got that fight in me
She said that she likes me
Tryna be my wife to be
People killing, stealin', and drug dealin'
Doing things to get a feelin' and you know that it ain't right with me
Yeah I came from nothin'
I spent a long time runnin'
But it's a long time comin'
It's been a long time comin'
Yeah I came from nothin'
I spent a long time runnin'
But now I gotta do somethin'
It's been a long time comin'
They try to hide me away
And keep me under the shade
I push em' outta the way
But then they come back to say
If yo music is about God it won't get played
It won't get played
But why would it not get played
I got some things to say and people need to hear it
You rappin' with all of your heart
I'm rappin' with my spirit
And things all on my mind
Lyrics from deep inside
In the end I might not win
At least I can say I tried
I made it through all the pressure
All my losses made me better
I never said never and I kept my head together
Made it through all endeavors
I made it through all endeavors
And if one thing's for sure, God is king forever
Yeah I came from nothin'
I spent a long time runnin'
But it's a long time comin'
It's been a long time comin'
Yeah I came from nothin'
I spent a long time runnin'
But now I just did somethin'
It's been a long time comin'
I spent a long time runnin'
But it's a long time comin'
It's been a long time comin'
Heavy thoughts, that's a burden
Long road, still learnin'
I fought hard and I earned it
I fought hard, yeah I earned it
I never said I was perfect
But God said I was worth it
And now I serve a bigger purpose
And now I'm steppin' on serpents
Yeah I'm steppin' on serpents
And now I'm steppin' on snakes
I used to want to be great
I kept calm, had faith
All real, no games
No hate, all praise
Two arms stay raised
Two doors, one gate
Two wings, no flames
No hurt, no pain
No guilt, no shame
No clouds, no rain
Long Time gettin' here
