Long Time

(专辑： U.S.A. (United State Of Atlanta) - 2005)

Girl, Me and the Lods been friends for a mighty long time
(such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time)
And girl, the thought of leaving you has never crossed my mind
(Well oh oh..)

Up in the street and misguided never payed attention
So I got my soul devine, player's soul decided
to let my soul confide with the lights of him
Who the father, my bread and my water
I never bought a cue and into this (?)
Down in my world are you going let you hypocrits
It'll take your life to be a Christian man
I hope you learn, everything else
Is in vein so you're bound to burn
Gonna break your bone
I'm in a war don't let this life game over-rule
Trying take control of you
That's all the devil do
God was in Jesus, God is in us
But God ain't in the barrel of that pistol that you bust
You can play this game wrong, you gotta take it how it goes,
Is there ever a feeling for living if the body's gone
I never understood why what can make a man cry,
It can make a man strong when nobody's on his side

Girl, (girl) Me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time
(such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time)
And girl, the thought of leaving you has never crossed my mind
(Never crossed my mind, never crossed my mind, oooh)
(Well oh oh..)

Back and forth, night and day, you repeat the same scene
Standing at the pool a bit, time to repent again
Mostly men have a gun just put that down on circle purpose
When the poo of the world, got me standin by the circle
Agitate you, yes it does, this is what you though was love
Only name, same to be lust, mixed emotions make you wanna bust
Mamma tryin, children cryin, dad outta work, welfare lying
Prejudice, always see, the bottom of the barrel
Falling down on my knees, heavenly father, here we go on knowing
That we get to heaven, there's gonna be some open arms,
Judgment was man-made, not a [..], and this I recorded,
But I didn't live the party, but I thank that my heart beat,
Gotta make me, oh sure Jesus I don't know if there's a hell,
But I know I've whitnessed hell here, all I do is dwell here
Trying not to trail here, saying too much will get you knocked off or locked up in jail here
Tell me do you smell fear, knowing that we so near,
Trying to take the voices of the truth, out the youth ear,
And if you late a time frame, you play all kind of mind games,
I ain't put my life on the line for a damn thing

Girl, Me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time
(such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time)
And Girl, (I don't really wanna be without you) the thought of leaving you has never crossed my mind
(Never crossed my mind)
(Well oh oh..)

I can never make it, I can never ever make it
Without you baby
Cause you've been my best friend
Girl,
When everybody turned their back on me,
You were there when I fell down on my knees
And I give you all, all of me,
And every part of me, oooowoooo,

Girl, me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time
(For long time, such a mighty long time)
And girl, (I don't really wanna be without you) the thought of leavin you has never crossed my mind
(Never crossed my mind)
(Well oh oh..)

I'm a live, I will never leave o no no
When the people say, c'mon and go with me
'Cause I will never leave you, and you've been my best friend
nobody understand, but they can't look inside of me,
o yeah..
