Long Time Coming |
| Ya’ll this evening |
| Ante up, time to let the trumpets sound |
| Crown me later, I’m a take my crown now |
| Been writing for 'bout 10 yrs now |
| And finally the real truth is coming out |
| You can’t stop it 'cause this is God’s plan |
| I know some of y’all just don’t understand |
| And now ya twisted, can’t believe it’s me |
| Get it, it’s Leela sho nuff |
| It’s been a long time since ya heard it like this |
| It’s been a long time since ya felt it like this |
| It’s been a long time since ya seen it like this |
| 'Cause ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this |
| I’ve been praying for a time like this |
| And I’ve been waiting for a time like this |
| I’ve been talking 'bout a time like this |
| A long time coming but you get it like this |
| Through the rain, through the pain I’m still around |
| Thank God kept me on solid ground |
| My ship started out with many aboard |
| But when the |
| Got rough they jumped ashore |
| I’ve seen many many many go and come |
| Even watched some of y’all faking the funk |
| But you can’t lie, can’t fake it, it’s in your blood |
| Ya either got it or ya don’t |
| It’s been a long time since ya heard it like this |
| It’s been a long time since ya felt it like this |
| It’s been a long time since ya seen it like this |
| 'Cause ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this |
| I’ve been praying for a time like this |
| And I’ve been waiting for a time like this |
| I’ve been talking 'bout a time like this |
| A long time coming but you get it like this |
| Now, talk to the DJ, I said |
| Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song |
| Keep it banging all night long |
| Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song |
| Keep it banging all night long |
| Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song |
| Keep it banging all night long |
| Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song |
| Keep it banging all night long, all night long |
| It’s been a long time since ya heard it like this |
| It’s been a long time since ya felt it like this |
| It’s been a long time since ya seen it like this |
| 'Cause ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this |
| And I’ve been praying for a time like this |
| And I’ve been waiting for a time like this |
| I’ve been talking 'bout a time like this |
| A long time coming but you get it like this |
| Sounds like something that you’ve had before |
| But it ain’t really something that you’ve had before |
| Feels like something that you’ve felt before |
| But it ain’t really something that you’ve felt before |
| Ain’t really something that you’ve seen before |
| 'Cause it sure ain’t something that you’ve seen before |
| Been a long time coming, yeah |
| But the time surely has come |
| It’s been a long time |
| DJ this is for you |
| Ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this, now |
| Can you feel me, yeah |
| Been a long time |
| It’s been a long time |
| It’s been a long time |
| It’s been a long time |
