Too Long

(album: Game Time - 2002)

Maybe I stayed away too long (Lil'Rome Ya'll)
Did I leave your mind when I was gone (Did I, really did I)
It's not my thing trying to get back (I'm done working now I gotta get back)
But this time let me tell you where I'm at (I'm right here ya'll)

This is to all my fans that bought my CD, I love ya'll, without ya'll, I couldn't be
Me, you keep a smile on my face, everytime I'm away, this is for the kids from state to state, I
Wanna thank ya'll for just standing in line, giving me a chance, thanks for helping me shine, I love
Music but I really do it for ya'll, it's a wonderful feeling when I walk through the mall, love is
All I need, because of that I succeed, hearing kids screaming, is a wonderful thing, every night I
Thank God and go to sleep with a praire, everytime I hear my name, I know that you care, It makes me
Happy knowing I touch your heart, I got ya'll, 'cause ya'll was there from the start, so if you're
Ever at home, alone and scared, just put in the CD and I'll be there, okay

Maybe I stayed away too long (Lil'Rome Ya'll)
Did I leave your mind when I was gone (Did I, really did I)
It's not my thing trying to get back (I'm done working now I gotta get back)
But this time let me tell you where I'm at (I'm right here ya'll)

To my brothers, sisters, cousins and all, you were there from day1, you been through it
All, we're family, you're my next of kin, you taught me play hard try my best to win, never sell
Myself short, even off the court, especially my parents ya'll showed me the road, kept it
Real, taught me my rights and wrongs, this is how I feel this is more than a song, to my uncles and
Aunties I love ya'll too, you always taught me no matter what tell the truth, together we
Stand, separated we fall, if there's anything you need just give me a call, I'll be there in a
Flash, if you need me just ask, Rest In Peace to everybody in the world that passed, when times are
Hard and you break into tears, just look on your side 'cause I'll be right there, okay

Maybe I stayed away too long (Lil'Rome Ya'll)
Did I leave your mind when I was gone (Did I, really did I)
It's not my thing trying to get back (I'm done working now I gotta get back)
But this time let me tell you where I'm at (I'm right here ya'll)

Couldn't live without radio and MTV, Nickelodeon, can't forget BET, all the record
Stores, everybody on tour, all the
Magazines I keep it hot for ya'll, to my #1 fans, my picture man, to my dancers, helping me do my
Dance, to my basketball coach and my basketball team, one love, for helping me fulfill my dreams, to
My teachers in school, to my friends in class, to all of the good times, and ones that's bad, to all
Of the people I ain't seen in years, keep your head up, remember I'll be right there, I've been
Around the world in so much in a year, come to find out that so much of you care, that's why I
Picked this track, ya'll put me where I'm at, I love ya'll, it feels good to be back, okay

Maybe I stayed away too long (Lil'Rome Ya'll)
Did I leave your mind when I was gone (Did I, really did I)
It's not my thing trying to get back (I'm done working now I gotta get back)
But this time let me tell you where I'm at (I'm right here ya'll)
