Long Time
[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.
