1
When you feel like your life is getting stagnated
2
And you know it's time for a change, say...
3
[Chorus]
4
I've been here for too long
5
I gotta find my way out now, Lord, tell me what's going on
6
I've been here for too long
7
Tired of reminding myself there's no right way to do wrong
8
I've been here for too long
9
I'm a make it out soon, I can do it, I just gotta be strong
10
I've been here for too long
11
'Cause I've been here for too long, come on!
12
It's now or never
13
Can't stay in the same situation forever
14
Pfft, gotta get it together
15
My cousin gone from the slum, father was a bum (a bum)
16
He had a mother but he never felt she loved-ed him (loved-ed him)
17
People used to speculate was it because of them
18
That he grew up chewing more than just bubble gum
19
He used to like to bite his nails, even fight the gal
20
I used to tell him they gon' send yo ass right to jail
21
Pitching it hard, I never thought he'd listen to the God
22
When I would tell him not to be an addition to the yard
23
To my surprise, this nigga went to get a job
24
Now I be hearing him bragging 'bout his benefits and all
25
And I applaud whoever can climb out the hood
26
I hope and pray to Allah y'all can climb out for good
27
The hood is where the hate is at, I make it back
28
Just to bring some paper back, turn around, (rrrt!) make tracks
29
I got a kid, I'm a need a crib with the lawn
30
You can say what you want, nigga, I've been here for too
31
[Chorus]
32
Uh, check it out
33
Yo, I'm too black and too strong and been here for too long
34
Never did it right 'cause all I knew was how to do wrong
35
My people telling me to cut it out like a coupon
36
And act like a new man instead of like a newborn
37
Sometimes what I grow on, is difficult to chew on
38
And everything your crew on, is different than what you on
39
I'm through with bullshitting with my trivial pursuit on
40
And sitting at a stop sign, time to get a move on, 'cause
41
Criminal minds with minimal time
42
On the meter, got to be on they continual grind
43
Trying to find hidden treasure like subliminal signs
44
And escape mental prison or a chemical bind
45
And I'm a stone, but a stone can't do it alone
46
'Cause the truth can set you down like two in the dome
47
And make it all fall apart like the ruins of Rome
48
Yo, I'm a changed man headed for home
49
[Chorus]
50
I know this crackhead who says she gotta smoke nice rock
51
And if it's good, she'll bring your customers a measuring pot
52
Her family members used to beg her to stop, couldn't explain
53
How to cook cocaine had her head in a lock
54
You hear the beat with this repetitive knock, that's the same way
55
They used to tell her she was at the edge of the dot
56
One night she woke up butt-naked in a crack house
57
Not knowing what happened, the bitch must've blacked out
58
Nobody to ask about what had taken place
59
Now she on the Internet with dog nut up on her face
60
And she caught another case trying to break in her mother place
61
Everything going wrong, she know it's 'cause of the base
62
Said it was just a pipe dream to get her life clean
63
Even thought it might seem like the right thing
64
Basically I just told her that red means stop
65
Yellow means slow, then you can go when the light's green
66
(I dropped jewels on her) That was her last night on the glass pipe
67
(Right) After thirteen years, that's right
68
She said, recommend a rehab and I'm gone
69
I wanna get strong, she said, I've been here for too long
70
I've been here for too long
71
I've been here for too long
72
I've been here for too long
I'm gonna loose you-The Classic with lyr...
