Long Time Lyrics by Terrell

XXI

2016

[Intro]
Been a long time coming, what you gone do
Been a long time coming, what you do, what you do
Been a long time coming, what you gone do
Been a long time
Been a long time

[Verse 1]
7 years, matter fact and I been working hard
Tears in the dirt, don't give a fuck who wanna call me soft
Been going back and forth like a fucking game of volley ball
Man all of y'all, can listen when I speak, I'm never falling off
Falling off again, I'm here to win and no this shit ain't pretend
When I make it to the top, you know I'm bringing my friends
Everybody wanna speak up on what they wanna be
But look at me, I'm actually doing shit and chasing the dream
Creating memories and where I go, I'm taking the team
Speaking of team, it's ABH until the day I go
By overdose, like I'm supposed to
Now let me coach you
On the game plan
Nothing ain't the same man
They think I am the same man, from years ago
But this ain't no arcade man
I'm free to live my life how I want, by any cost
Play it smart or play it cool
Don't give a fuck about the rules
If you was in my shoes at this point, what the fuck would you do

[Hook](x2)
Been a long time coming, what you gone do
Been a long time coming, what you do, what you do
Been a long time coming, what you gone do
Been a long time
Been a long time

[Verse 2: Enlightened]
It's been a long time
Since I felt the stress
It's been a long time
I been living a mess
Cincinnati born and raised, but local I'm not
Taking a shot down here in Florida
And been through a lot
Don't Fuck with cops, no, even though I'm tryna be one
Nobody stopping me from what the fuck I wanna become
Ain't no repeat or rerun when these things come
It's new to me
Shit change, you lose friends and maybe gain some enemies
Living in silence
In this city filled with violence
But I learned a long time ago that nothing comes from crying bout it
If a shot is thrown at me, they say I'll miss it but I highly doubt it
Grew my wings and learned to fly, so my life
I'm the pilot of it
It's been a long time, so nigga what am I to do
It's been a long time of breaking all the fucking rules
Shit ain't what it seems
But imma keep on pushing through until I'm living my dreams

[Hook](x2)
Been a long time coming, what you gone do
Been a long time coming, what you do, what you do
Been a long time coming, what you gone do
Been a long time
Been a long time
