Long Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's been a long time since I left you (Uh) Coulda stayed around and talked the talk like the rest do Instead, I made a noose and put your head through, neck breaker Puttin' 'em in checkmate, you'd better make your best move They couldn't fathom me walkin' a mile in them shoes (Nah) So I roamed a light-year, there's nothing that I fear (Nah) Defibrillate an idea to make them all cry tears And murder, I'm furling up off the riverside with my vibe Let 'em live and die, I'm standin' right here They picked a different side; me? I'm just killing time Single-handedly, still I ride through the winter night These hills have eyes and it definitely ain't Beverly Exhale deadly till there's no breathe left in my chest In a [?] never giving an ethnic millitesla Express love to these pigeons and return to the nest And I rest, never fulfilled until the quest done [Chorus] It's been a long time You ask how I'm living, well, I'm feeling just fine I'm hanging from the cliff and I [?] thin lines While I paint a thousand words and I did it all night It's been a long time They ask how I'm living, well, I'm feeling just fine Should be on a nine-five till I kiss 'em goodbye Throw a fist to the sky till I'm given a sign Somebody give me a sign [Post-Chorus] Clap your hands this evening, come on y'all Said it's all right Clap your hands this evening, come on y'all I said it's all right [Verse 2] Rock the party till the kids all know me and my liver toasty (Check) Heartier than Minestrone if they try to roast me These phonies only half of what I'm giving, show me Another who's stubborn like this, inside my palm I hold the city closely Triple dose the recipe, devote fidelity To the rhythm but I choke the melody Bury the beat and treat it like my only therapy C'est la vie a de c'est with no Penelope Let it be the way it is, the way to handle This for medicators, hit the pain with an anvil This man is a handful, dismantle your plans For then a flash in the pan, I send your tracks to the landfill Mad, real, this shit is dead around here Emerging from the dust, spit the message out clear With no sunlight, forever grow under the rock, I set in stone So I pen another letter home, just to let 'em know [Chorus] It's been a long time You ask how I'm living, well, I'm feeling just fine I'm hanging from the cliff and I [?] thin lines While I paint a thousand words and I did it all night It's been a long time They ask how I'm living, well, I'm feeling just fine Should be on a nine-five till I kiss 'em goodbye Throw a fist to the sky till I'm given a sign Somebody give me a sign [Post-Chorus (Sampled)/Collision] It's been a long time Clap your hands this evening, come on y'all You ask how I'm living, well, I'm feeling just fine Said it's all right I'm hanging from the cliff and I [?] thin lines Clap your hands this evening, come on y'all While I paint a thousand words and I did it all night I said it's all right It's been a long time They ask how I'm living, well, I'm feeling just fine
