It’s Been A Long Time

Lyrics

[Hook] It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you without a strong rhyme to step to Check this Think of how many we weak sessions you rested through Time's up, sorry I kept you Sorry I kept you, I'm sorry I kept you [Verse 1] I build on life and analyze the day I shine bright, I'm not far away You can see my light, you can feel the ray Even at night it's still my day I'm squared up, I fast and pray No, not in a mysterious way Giving it all that I have and all within my power To see that day, the Gods don't play Like Redman say my thoughts outweigh Most MCs stacks cause nonsense can never outweigh The facts of life, the facts of life... [Hook] It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you without a strong rhyme to step to Think of how many weak sessions you rested through [Verse 2] Can you feel it? Nothing can save ya Brothers organize and teach and civilize and The people to your night and fight for what's right Like get up, stand up, words of Marley Economic imports, [?] Martin had us marching, Malcolm armed us Muhammad Ali made us all proud to be The Father gave us knowledge of self for us to see clear The right fools open their ear and broke the fear The mind speaks to me and show me vision and sounds Of how they flood our neighborhoods with the poison and crime My passive brother on the corner with the cardboard sign A Vietnam vet addicted to heroin So he scrambles, panhandles for nickels and dimes In all ghetto hoods it's serious times So the mind frame gotta change, that's how we end the rhyme [Hook] It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you without a strong rhyme to step to Think of how many weak sessions you rested through It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you without a strong rhyme to step to Think of how many weak sessions you rested through Time's up, sorry I kept you Sorry I kept you, I'm sorry I kept you
