How Much Longer?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yo, I ain't gonna lie, sometimes I lie awake Tryna ponder how I spend my days on the Earth Thoughts going round like what's my purpose in life That I'm supposed to gracefully serve? Man's never been a quitter, man know me Anytime I fail, I take it and learn Don't believe in short-term major returns I'm playing the long game, but right now I'm making it work And when I have good days, I see the light But bad days are making me stirred And my African sister keeps telling me that I should go and Speak to the Lord, but I ain't made my way to the church I lost most of my faith back then Spent too many days in the lurch But J's not a nerd, and I'm not a stranger to work So cuzzy, I just wanna know [Hook] How much longer have I gotta grind Till I get to the place where I'm tryna be? How much longer have I gotta wait? I'm running out of patience, shit's getting deep How much longer have I gotta make My way through the mist? I'm just tryna see My Gs on the roads say money over dreams But money can't buy me a good night's sleep [Verse 2] How much longer have I gotta put up with all of this stress? Cause it all feels a lot right now And if I stop keeping it cool then a lot of shit Might just start going wrong right now It's a lot right now, but at the same time I can't complain cause the rave's strong right now But don't get it twisted, nothing ain't promised And this shit could all go Pete Tong right now And it's too late to turn back, this shit's more than a movie It's the path I'm on right now My nigga, it's way more than a song right now So if worst comes to worst and it all goes wrong Would I just fade out and die down? Well, sorry, mate, not right now It's not an option I've got right now So donny, I can't stop right now But you know what's mad? [Bridge] They must think that I just MC They must think that I just write bars And spend the rest of my time making beats I wish life was simple and sweet And I don't wanna take my own life But sometimes I just wanna rest in peace I'm a myth cause I never invest in sleep If you're a smart man, you'll invest in me They must think that I just MC They must think that I just write bars And spend the rest of my time making beats I wish life was simple and sweet And I don't wanna take my own life But sometimes I just wanna rest in peace I'm a myth cause I never invest in sleep If you're a smart man, you'll invest in me [Hook] How much longer have I gotta grind Till I get to the place where I'm tryna be? How much longer have I gotta wait? I'm running out of patience, shit's getting deep How much longer have I gotta make My way through the mist? I'm just tryna see My Gs on the roads say money over dreams But money can't buy me a good night's sleep
