Long Time Coming

Lyrics

[Verse 1: donSMITH] Long, long, long, long time Been a long, long, long, long time Long, long, long time Long time coming In the mirror, confident in God and the flaws I come with I'ma be plugged in the way after LeBron stops dunking Few n****s ball where I'm from, the rest of 'em all puntin' We got used to just chalkin' it up to chance, huh? Promise nothing, expect less when reachin' out your hands, huh? For my 10,000 hours, they never offered me an advance, huh? A cappella pistols, spittin' right where we stand, uh (Who the f*** is donSMITH?) I could give a f*** if you heard of me No more free games, I'ma start to charge a learner's fee Before we copped Bitcoin, we turned the crib into currency Unemployment ended, you n****s still got no urgency Ironic, the one who dubbed me high-school no longer curvin' me But then I slide on her homegirl, she blocked me 'cause it hurts to see And neither of 'em earned a title, all they did was earn a verse from me Long time coming, what made me bitter brought more worth to me Karma ain't exactly what I'm callin' it The other side ain't greener, the grass just green where you water it N***** will make the bed and do anything not to fall in it From now on, I'm callin' it [Verse 2: Asun Eastwood] Look F*** these critics, I recite what I know If you rock with me long enough, I'm likely to grow It's the ones who hate complexity trying to stifle my glow Never bothered when you see me, 'cause the rifle is close Factor quality with work before the price of the blow 'Cause if they're callin' me service then my pockets still flow Excuses kill potential, that's how poverty rose Before they save their last, rather go and buy some new clothes That endorphins where depression is Y'all livin' effortless The nerve you f****n' with the chance to put your stress on kids These types of patterns lack effectiveness, reckless shit The path to havin' loved ones on necklaces (the nerve of these n****s) I saved my change for a year and then invested it Around the time, was asking God where my blessings is I got shot, and they thought that was the death of it That's when I saw the light now deals come with leverages I'm Ace though Yo peace to the don, man Let me clarify some s*** though... Those last four bars are kind of out of order I asked God where my blessings were while I was rollin' filthy in the dough, n**** Then I got shot I had to throw out a lot of s***, I lost a lot of s*** But at the same time At the same time, it made me realize I have been blessed I just had to pull myself out of the bull****, go harder Work harder I saved pennies n**** And I copped a fuckin' condo with those pennies n**** Stop me!
