So Long (feat. Rou)

I was in the studio with X
He said it's me vs me (me vs me)
Late night shoot at OEU
Just to give you something to see
How you letting strangers in the circle
Telling you who to be (telling you) (huh)
Cartier glasses like I'm Urkel
With a saint on my tee (saint on my tee)
Was just some niggas with a dream, but now we got some relief
(Now we got some relief)
Cause if you seen where we was going
Swear you wouldn't believe (nah you wouldn't)
Ain't really down with all the talking
Don't condone in the beef (shh)
A couple real ones and the money, all that I really need

I've been down, so long you see
(So long you see)
I cannot believe
(I can't believe)
I've been down, so long, so long
(So long you see)
I can barely, breathe
(I can't believe)

Now people tell me all the time like
Slow it down, like why you in such a rush
(Where you going)
I mean I, I gotta be
I can't be running outta time (nah)
What you mean what's on my mind
(What you mean)

I've been down, so long you see
I cannot believe

They say pressure make them diamonds
It's a gifted collection (it's a gifted collection)
But most of y'all done got to folding
Lack of natural selection (lack of natural selection)
Riding round with all that heat
But feeling cold and neglected (hot)
You gone reach under that seat
If you think you disrespected (pew pew)
I know that pain make you do things that you can never imagine
(That you can never imagine)
Life be coming at you crazy
So you fight it with passion
(So you fight it with passion)
You see the man that's in the mirror
That's who making it happen (that's you)
Swear I can't be any clearer, gotta see him in action

I've been down, so long you see
(So long you see)
I cannot believe
(I can't believe)
I've been down, so long, so long
(So long you see)
I can barely, breathe
(I can't believe)

You know, we all going through something
Some trial, some tribulation
It just make you do crazy things
It make you, act off a passion but like
You gotta stay down, just gotta cool off

I've been down, so long you see
I cannot believe

I'm a Leo you know loyalty in my DNA (my DNA)
You can't label me
I got a price that's gotta be paid (gotta be paid)
The ones that seen me at my lowest
Know that I can't be saved (nah)
I was writing a new chapter, now I'm turning the page
Told em they can never stop me
Til my name on the stage (til my name on the stage)
And even then, I'm going global
Ain't no stopping the train
Cloth talk, know I'm a mogul
At the top of my game
Put me up there with the greats, you ever mention my name
Gone
