Lyrics Been A Long Time - Tq

Been A Long Time

Yeah
Been a long time
I’m sittin here waitin wonderin and thinkin 'bout our life
Where we gonna end up
So many of them don’t understand how this thing goes
You can only take so much
Sometimes I’m feelin like I had enough
For all the times I feel like you’re not up against me
Anything to try and get me influence my mind
Had me fightin too long
Such a long time
I thank the lord for making me a soldier
Work on the corner every night gotta struggle and fight
I’m on time
So if it’s just the cream that you go for
Such a thin line
Been such a long time
Oh makin me kind of crazy just thinkin 'bout
All the shit that you go through
Just tryin to be you
Listen to me now
So hard these days to find creative ways
For everybody to move they body
We free to speak but warned to watch what you say
I’m sayin feel like you’re not up against me
Anything to try to get me influence my mind
It’s been such a long time
Such a long time
I thank the lord for making me a soldier
Work on the corner every night gotta struggle and fight
I’m on time
So if it’s just the cream that you go for
Such a thin line
Been such a long time
So many waiting for something to happen it’s crazy
Dear lie, you’re not up against me
Anything to try to get me influence my mind
It’s been such a long time
Such a long time
I thank the lord for making me a soldier
Work on the corner every night gotta struggle and fight
I’m on time
So if it’s just the cream that you go for
Such a thin line
It’s been such a long time
I thank the lord for making me a soldier
Work on the corner every night gotta struggle and fight
I’m on time
So if it’s just the cream that you go for
Such a thin line
Such a long time
I thank the lord for making me a soldier
Work on the corner every night gotta struggle and fight
 so tq, I listened to your first album, and now I heard the second one.
I know
How I feel about it.
but why don’t you tell me what makes you different from
Many other r&b male artists?
 huh, what makes me different?
you probably can answer that as good as I can
 how’s that?
 I mean, you see me right here, you see me on stage.
it’s the same thing.
i
Ain’t gotta?
dial?
in my hair with all kinds of funny colors and jump around
Stage like some kind of asshole.
I ain’t gotta do none of that
 is that right?
 I ain’t gotta dress all up, put make-up all on.
all I gotta do is stay real
And deal with the issues that I deal with and my peoples deal with every day
That real shit.
that’s what soul music is about
 where you heard it for yourself.
for all you fake-ass niggas listen and
Learn.
