Long Time Comin

(альбом: Tough Love And Parables - 2011)

They said I've only got 15 seconds
Bizzle
I'll take it
Let's go

Umm Lord I'm feeling so misunderstood
They acting like I'm bad for tryna do something good
I'm reading all the hating that's twisting my stomach up
How am I to love 'em past the hate and let them know you love the hood
You told us love the orphans. These kids don't got no fathers
Grew up playing cops and robbers and now the diving cops in robbery
A baby's getting murdered while they still inside they mommas
Feeling like we've lost 'em and it's kinda like my job to find them
And they used to hearing lies, they feel like I'm lying
They think I'm tryna shine but inside I feel like I'm dying
Society left us behind, they was tired of trying
You can save them but they keep denying it they Private Ryan's
Something I'd avoid, some feel it be the drug
That's only temporary what they need is your love
I see a change coming, I gotta say something
This just some medicine for pain I'm in

Seems like the love is little but the hate is plenty
The world is on your shoulders, I know the weight is heavy
I work the 9-5, I feel your pain if any
In it for the money dummy I ain't made a penny
This for your kids and mine, gotta reverse the damage
It hurts to fathom how young we letting hearses have 'em
How many kids would be alive if it wasn't for 'em
Throwing up a hecka gang signs? You tell me if I'm lying
Straight up that's real talk
You see the ground that's real chalk
These teen-aged get peeled off
The big block casket get silked off
And they can only learn what we teach 'em
If it's only 15 seconds that I'm getting I'm a reach 'em
Let's go

I feel it coming, I'm sick and tired of running
Somebody gotta stand up for a change
I know you want it, does anybody want it
Ain't you tired of the same old thang
Cause I done been down every road that you can take now
Only one that leads to change
I've been then there, done that
Fell down, jumped back, people change
