Down so Long Lyrics by APTITUDE

2021

[Intro: Jarry Manna]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’ve been down so long
Running through my mind
Wondering what went wrong (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

[Chorus: Jarry Manna]
Man I’ve had many problems trying to take on my path but not focused on you (You)
It’s only you, my savoir my focus that’s holding me down to the truth (The truth)
Walkin’ ahead, when I can’t see (see)
But I ain't dead, you take the lead (lead)
Holy spirit fighting for me to breathe (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

[Verse 1: Shiwan]
I been through too much to giving and take
See my reflection, I stare at the lake
Need living water now pass me a cup
Need bread of heaven now pass me a plate
Somethings wrong in my life cuz my body feeling
All this pain like just I started bodybuilding
Saw the cross when I hopped on the freeway
Could’ve died but you gave me some leeway
MY GOD
Sorry for all of the hassle when I was in battles and screaming out why God
You made those demons go scatter no more of the chatter no more talking blah blah (blah blah)
Now I can praise you like la la (la la)
Free as a bird you know that’s word
I’m Dancing like David, no cha cha
Uh, I gotta
Stop the beef like it’s no enchilada
I can’t mess with no devil it’s Prada
I’m just wavin’ my finger like na na
Staying loyal to wifey cuz one day we gon have family watching Moana (Moana)
Glory to God for making me clay holy spirit aka the potter (potter)
That’s my father (father)

[Chorus: Jarry Manna]
Man I’ve had many problems trying to take on my path but not focused on you (On you)
It’s only you, my savoir my focus that’s holding me down to the truth (The truth)
Walkin’ ahead, when I can’t see (See)
But I ain't dead, you take the lead (Lead)
Holy spirit fighting for me to Breathe

[Verse 1: Jarry Manna]
Gave you my time (Gave you my time)
So you know ya can’t waste it (So you know ya can’t waste it)
I was down bad (I was down bad)
I was seeing spaceships (I was seeing spaceships)
Gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
And told me don’t break it (told me don’t break it)
But they don’t like black man (they don’t like black)
I was dealing with racist (I was)
I had to move, I had to dash, just for a minute or so (minute or so)
Even Though I was still, I took a trip just for my spirit and soul (spirit and soul)
Had to search for the dealer of hope (dealer of hope)
Back then you was just doin' the most (doin' the most)
Haven’t checked in on you in some months (you in some months)
I can put you in tune with the one (yeah, yeah, yeah)

But I’m back to the basics (back to the basics)
If I pull up for the vibes we might not make it (might not make it)
Feelin’ like we playin’ (like we playin’)
Stuck in a matrix (stuck)
Had to try my God outside I got impatient
Yeah, yeah yeah
Pray it up right away
Spirit lead me to a brighter day (day)
I knew the difference right away (way, way)
I had to face it (I had to face it)
It shined like moonlight (shine like moonlight)
How could I fake this (How could I fake this, yeah)
