I been this way for a long time I know these niggas hate on me Knew they could never wait on me Knew they would paint a face on me I been this way for a long time I'm on the way, if you can't see You can't show love? Then please don't speak I've seen how these niggas change on me Yea, for a long time Fake friends worst than real enemies I been who these niggas want to be Just know I can see I been this way for a long time They sick of me, but I'm the remedy I cannot show these niggas sympathy 'Cause when I was down they ain't have it for me I been this way for a long time I been this way for a minute I'm a good guy and a villain I remember all them nights I was down on my digits, but I kept on minding my business I remember all the times that they doubted the vision I told 'em, bitch doubt my decision I know what I'm doing, I know who I am You wasn't around when I went through the jam Nowhere to be found when I needed a hand Just look at me now bitch I feel like the man Why you got to frown, I just don't understand? I thought you'd be proud of your mother fucking mans Niggas turn foul when it comes to them bands Niggas act out when they don't have a plan Keep running your mouth, you do what you can I do what I want, you wouldn't understand I been this way for a long time I know these niggas hate on me Knew they could never wait on me Knew they would paint a face on me I been this way for a long time I'm on the way, if you can't see You can't show love? Then please don't speak I've seen how these niggas change on me Yea, for a long time Fake friends worst than real enemies I been who these niggas want to be Just know I can see I been this way for a long time They sick of me, but I'm the remedy I cannot show these niggas sympathy 'Cause when I was down they ain't have it for me I been this way for a long time When I was down they ain't have shit for me When I was down it wasn't what it seemed I laid in my bed and tried not to scream I laid in my bed and I mother fucking dreamed I had to pray not to go to extremes I was drowning I was stuck in a stream More like a creek More like a pond More like a lake Look I might bend but I'll never break Don't need a friend just look at my faith Ain't no making amends take it to the grave I can't pretend I deal with people straight So fuck what you meant just turn the other way I want the smoke, I want the vapes I have time, but I got time today I love all the hate 'cause I took the harder way I been this way for a long time I know these niggas hate on me Knew they could never wait on me Knew they would paint a face on me I been this way for a long time I'm on the way, if you can't see You can't show love? Then please don't speak I've seen how these niggas change on me Yea, for a long time Fake friends worst than real enemies I been who these niggas want to be Just know I can see I been this way for a long time They sick of me, but I'm the remedy I cannot show these niggas sympathy 'Cause when I was down they ain't have it for me I been this way for a long time
