So Long Lyrics by Charlie J

2018

[Intro: Joey Bada$$]
Because this is the best time to start, when you ain't got the real world responsibilities
You ain't got, to worry bout paying bills or shit like that
So now you're tryna chase the dream, like
Chase the dream while you're in school
Chase the dreams earlier
You got, you got more time to focus on it
Cause you ain't worried about bills or shit, you just got school
And then your dream, you know what I mean?
That's it
[Hook]
For you I waited so long
I know you couldn't see what I'm on
For you I waited so long
Through and thick I tried to stay strong
For you I waited, ah you know I waited
I waited and waited but something seemed wrong
For you I waited too long
For you I waited too long
[Verse 1]
Foot on the gas, we punish past
Get Farrah away like I'm running them laps
Gun and the mask, I couldn't relapse
Remember the days I was one of the pack
Now its different, on a mission, cooking up heat in the kitchen
Or my room mixing, made too many mistakes and bad decisions
So what do I take for a living?
See I waited for change but didn't change myself
Never waited for mains I made myself
Girl taken away I played myself
So i pray dont take my health
Can never get it back unlike the wealth
Kids never cared about meaning
Look to the ceiling, keep on dreaming
[Pre-Chorus]
Back round to my place, lets say on Friday
80 on the highway, saying that you're high babe
In my head like migraines, couldn't make the time ay
Flipped my world like sideways, and I wait
[Hook]
For you I waited so long
I know you couldn't see what I'm on
For you I waited so long
Through and thick I tried to stay strong
For you I waited, ah you know I waited
I waited and waited but something seemed wrong
For you I waited too long
For you I waited too long
[Verse 2]
So know that Im over school
Getting outs been overdue
And I never get emotional, its been draining
Gotta keep a pipe dream even when its raining
So you think you know better
Got that verbal spray like berrettas
Put you in A and E forget the rest of the letters
No victories just v for vendetta
You can get a lot in Lanny for tenner
Grey skies whatever the weather
Still I stay on the ball like a header
Too many snaps here to get any cheddar
See I'm only 17, tryna make a memory
Off something more than Hennessy
Got friends who take shots like Kennedy
Hoping they never get a felony
[Pre-Chorus]
Back round to my place, lets say on Friday
80 on the highway, saying that you're high babe
In my head like migraines, couldn't make the time ay
Flipped my world like sideways, and I wait
[Hook]
For you I waited so long
I know you couldn't see what I'm on
For you I waited so long
Through and thick I tried to stay strong
For you I waited, ah you know I waited
I waited and waited but something seemed wrong
For you I waited too long
For you I waited too long
