Long Time Coming (feat. Swoope)

Lecrae

    Continues after the ad

    I've been treating this part of life like a dance floor
    Side stepping all the things I've made plans for
    And I ain't acting when I'm taking on the man's roles
    Chance to enhance the fam can be a handfull
    I rather have my hands full than be empty-handed
    Travel all around the planets till I have it planted
    Grow roots like great grand pap, married 65 years, 20 kids, same family
    Strong as an ox and I'm from the same stock
    So I'll won't be hanging out 'till I see the sun o'clocks
    It's been a long time coming but I'm coming at a decent hour
    Everything I've have is ours start the wedding shower
    Teeball games in the summer ballet in the winter
    And I ain't scrolling through my twitter while we having dinner
    Time to grow up, done drinkin' 'til I throw up
    Neglected little man for my plans, try'n to blow up
    Some people are so focused on the road to success
    They don't see their whole family laying dead on the tracks.
    I rather seize to have my lyrics spread over tracks
    And put some family photos on the walls instead of plaques.

    It's been a long time coming, but we're here now

    Look
    I remember watching videos by Hype Will
    Thinking I could do that if I had a nice deal
    But the precedent is MC's dead believe
    They take the same exit that Mason Betha did
    Cause when you're talking steal then ya sound hard
    But they let you out ya deal when you found God
    Back to watching Hype Will, think about how I feel
    Wishes spitting Christian wasn't God's will
    It's been a long time running, long time wondering
    Long time humming ... songs that I hated
    From a rapper that I felt was overrated
    'Cause I knew that he was faking but he everybody's favorite
    Coming with that same "ha" had an 808 hit
    Bricks that weight lift, chicks that is naked
    I'm in my house studyin' the scripts that is sacred
    If this a success recipe I ain't gonna make it
    So many reasons not to. I only graduated high school
    I'm from a small little city that they fly through, but never fly to
    Just a plain town tryin' to be fly too
    A town rapper, we backed down never
    So I'm fi'n to take my hood up like Trayvon
    Fi'n to hold my hood down like your favorite mob
    Ventilate some hood, now I'm with the favorite march.
    Walk up with the king boy I'm about to Pharoah march.
    Red Sea is my favorite part.
    The Lord opened up a new avenue
    In the street, got the dove award and we passin through.
    Church clothes on the mic spitting what your pastor do
    Looking at the world through our Master's view.
    Offer you the optic codes, keep this glasses, too.
    On fire for the king, but we're cold rappers, dude.

    It's been a long time coming
