lyrics

Been a long time
Oh ohh
Been a long time
Yeah
Been a long time
Oh ohh
Been a long time
I been counting up
1, 200 days, sitting in this room
Just trying to make a groove
Hear how I produce
Talking about the fruits of my labor
Got the whole crew on a bus
Get it cracking like some glaciers
You could catch us in your neighborhood
When we're rolling through
Listen to the music and you'll know what we've been going through
Lost my Nana last year, that was heavy
But I ain't gon' be breaking like no levees, hold steady
Cause it's been a long time
I ain't quitting
Two things I always had that's a vision and commitment
And they notice the persistence when you hit them so relentless
Why I'm always going in and you could never catch me slipping
Every day I'm having sessions, you could book one
But if you really want that jawn hitting you gon put me on the hook, son
Ask Rodo bout the shook ones
Anything could happen
Just be sure you're taking action all these moments passing
Like it's been a long time
Yeah
Been a long time
Ohh
Been a long time
Oh ohh, yeah
Been a long time
Yeah
It's been a long time that we're waiting
Lord knows I've been patient
But I'm bout to break the gate in like I'm raiding this
Trying to stack a couple hundred
Get the sound system rumbling
Then, I'mma make it rain in here
I've been buzzing on the wall
Now I'm bout to get the call
It's the time to have my reign and sit
Up, right on top the throne
Till it's time for me to go
But I really want to stay a bit
Cause it's been a long time
Wanna hang a long time
That's the thing about time
Love, isn't it
Always gotta fly
You ain't ready for goodbye
But the tick-tock really couldn't give a shit
Try and hold on
Make the moment last long
But it's already gone, done and ended then
Why I'm focused on the moment
So much more than where I'm going
Cause the journey ain't bout the destination man
I said it's been a long time
Oh ohh
It's been a long time
Yeah
Been a long time
Oh ohh
Been a long time
Yeah
