Well it's been a long time long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I
I wonder if gladys smiles when angels bring my name up
Or change language and subject change up
Her boy's a long way from red dogs and green rangers
Things ain't been the same since Ms Patterson called me famous
I saw your reflection in a toilet full of vomit water
You don't think I felt ya hand on my head
Yelling call his father
But people don't hear ghosts
So how they gon' play me
Money saved me so I'ma do the same thing
You're droppin' pounds
Gettin' small on some sick s**t
Like how you got the drive
But don't know how to use a stick shift
You better not miss this overdose d**e and mixes
Let ya throat close with a boatload of d**e quotes within it
Blast off
Dropping tapes 'til I losted count coughing out blood
Dropping weight like I lost an ounce
Throwing words and tossing nouns
NY traveling I'm Boston bound bossing 'round homies
And talking down to shorties while I'm jotting down
Notes to spit to Harlem crowns
Surfing through the Harlem crowds
At the crib I'm falling down
Yeah I'm steady crawling 'round
I'm calling out to God
Your little angels falling down
Save me from my darkened cloud
Reach your hands and arms around
Well it's been a long time long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
And in a year a year or so
This will slip into the sea
Well it's been a long time long time now
Oh it's oh it's been so long
Since I've seen you smile
Said it's been a long time long time now
Said it's been a long time long time now
And it's been a long time long time now
