| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
| That’s me at the wheel
|
| Yo, the longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| When it all went wrong
|
| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
| That’s me at the wheel
|
| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| When it all went wrong
|
| That’s me in the spotlight
|
| That’s me on the dance floor
|
| They’re playing our song
|
| Remember the time?
|
| I said, 'Sell me a dream.'
|
| You said, 'Tell me a lie
|
| But only if it’s white.'
|
| With a smile so right
|
| I was born in the Concorde
|
| High as a kite
|
| Send a letter to prison
|
| Told my boy that I’d write
|
| But I ain’t feeling accustom
|
| Like a toy when he write
|
| And when it all went wrong
|
| I couldn’t do nothing right
|
| Couldn’t do nothing right
|
| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
| That’s me at the wheel
|
| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| When it all went wrong
|
| That’s me in the spotlight
|
| That’s me on the dance floor
|
| They’re playing our song
|
| Remember the day?
|
| I said, 'Bring me sunshine'
|
| You said, 'Take me to shade.'
|
| Send that serenade with a barbed wire bouquet
|
| And a box of Milk Tray
|
| I was born in a spaceship
|
| I was flying away, wasn’t trying to stay
|
| With my heart in a glass box there on display
|
| Got me dreaming allay
|
| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
| That’s me at the wheel
|
| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the coffee get
|
| The weaker my will
|
| Speaking on my kin
|
| I was just keeping it real
|
| When it all went wrong
|
| That’s me in the spotlight
|
| That’s me on the dance floor
|
| They’re playing our song
|
| Do you remember the moment?
|
| You gave me a sales pitch
|
| I wrote you a poem
|
| Saw a shadow of handsome
|
| Hoping you’d get to know him
|
| Or like Marilyn Manson
|
| With his innocence stolen
|
| I was born in a boat
|
| But don’t know where it’s going
|
| Wore my heart on my sleeve
|
| To make sure it was showing
|
| Sunshine and rain shower
|
| To ensure that I’m growing
|
| I was high as a UFO
|
| With my whole body glowing
|
| The longer the days get
|
| The stronger the drinks get
|
| The louder the weed
|
| My eyes closed; |
| I ain’t got the power to see
|
| The width of the trees
|
| Or how they make powder from leaves
|
| And every time the sunrise, yo, the coffee get stronger
|
| I’ll be counting the beans
|
| And every time the sunrise, yo the coffee gets stronger… |
