Down So Long

Not one for fake smiles, I’d rather keep it solemn
You can have the fame, it comes with too many problems
Rollin' in the pain, struggling from the bottom
Tryna to live my life, I need you to tell me not to doubt
So long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
About time we come up
It’s about time we come up
So long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
About time we come up
It’s about time we come up
Gotta get on the open up
Built my own stairs, sneakers running 'em, scuffin' up
Not asking for what’s fair, now they switchin' the formula
They blind our eyes with lies but not realize they prioritize and ostracize
Hide behind, the coward cries, camouflage and sabotage
and gravitize, status flaws and drab mirage
Leave you lean the lavish cloth, sloppier than apple sauce
I’m baffled by the Babylon, killed my kind and carried on
Born a vagabond, not a paradox, a pair are gone
Upper echelon, how I serenade the Lexacon
Never entertain, they throwing stones upon my name
Came to bring some change, spread the flames and then I’m switching lanes
Tired of being broke and bitter hoping for a different day
It’s time to sharpen, focus, change directions, get a different name
My goal is raise my family on an island sippin' lemonade
Any day, I give up all my comforts just to liberate
Not one for fake smiles, I’d rather keep it solemn
You can have the fame, it comes with too many problems
Rollin' in the pain, struggling from the bottom
Tryna to live my life, I need you to tell me not to doubt
So long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
About time we come up
It’s about time we come up
So long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
Down so long, we’ve been down so long
About time we come up
It’s about time we come up
