Day has arrived babies they cried
Wife been up 8 35
Smelling the coffee I wake then I nod
Wrestle with guilt am I lazy or not
Now it's 11 the am has died
I slept through alarms my anger is odd
I'm mad but I'm not I'm decaying inside
Too numb to be sad I can't even lie
My heart is a drum all its playing is
Why
The echo is loud I'm vacant inside
I'm out of my body I gaze in my eyes
I look like a zombie say my goodbyes
It's killing my highs I'm asking my god
To heal me I'm not asking for much
I just wanna say how long will it be
Till you take it away
If you ever wonder
How long you'll be under
The weight is on your shoulders
But it won't be always
I know you losing patience
It's written on your face and
I can see you clearly but all that I can say is
Just a little while longer longer longer
Just a little longer longer for me
I'm sick of the pain I'm finna complain
My doctor is lost man illness is lame
'07 it came and it's never the same
It's killing my job it's been killing my name
My label is mad and I'm feeling shame
They not hearing back when they call me and man
My new book overdue and my brain is a mess
So what I'ma do 'cause my publisher's stressed
I'm shepherding too I keep letting them down
'Cause my body can crash then I'm never around
Nowhere to be found but I'm in the bed
That's for weeks at a time and it's dead in my head
My wife she hurt the pain in her eyes
She tryna be strong and just take it in stride
But it's wearing her down and I'm asking today
How long will it be till you take it away
If you ever wonder
How long you'll be under
The weight is on your shoulders
But it won't be always
I know you losing patience
It's written on your face and
I can see you clearly but all that I can say
It don't take a lifetime
Waiting on a lifeline
The pain is only temporary
Feeling like your hands tied
Almost to the other side
Pain is only temporary
Just a little while longer longer longer
Just a little longer longer for me
