Lyrics How Much Longer - D White

How Much Longer

I’ve been sick
I’ve been tired
I’ve been helpless
I’ve been hopeless
I’ve been greedy
I’ve been selfish
I’ve been waiting on the answer no response
Out of patience
Gotta get it while you’re on
Look
I only came this far for y’all
I understand, but tell me how long
Need the power to stay on
Ain’t no food in the fridge
Momma still hurting
How much time you gotta give?
How much time you gotta give?
Uh uh uh uhh yea
Silence won’t get you feed
Mills written into existence
Got it on my own under complicated conditions
With a bag full of lemons break them thangs down
Add some water then you flip them
Sad when you gotta chose survival over living
It’s a way life
Fighting through the day to make it through the night
Every night, get it through your mind
Don’t want to have to bust it open
Didn’t pick it out
Believe me when I say I’m chosen
Mary kept me grounded
Planted like I’m Joseph
Moves on the 586 to the door
Uh
Mobbing back and forth like we never knew what home was
Never told a lie
Still rose up out the low end
Yea
And they gonna feel me before I’m gone
I’m gonna say what I need
They gonna feel me before I’m gone
I’m gonna say what I need
I’m gonna say what I need
They gonna feel me before I’m gone
I’m gonna say what I need
They gonna feel me before I’m gone
I’m gonna say what I need
