Long Nights

(BandP-)

Thinkin' 'bout them long nights

We was sittin' there dreamin' under porch lights

Never thought we'd make it past the stop signs

Comin' from a city where the young die

Now it ain't an issue, I fill up them pages

Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it

Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest"

We done come a long way from 'em porch lights (ay), and 'em stop signs, yeah

Came a long way from that porch where shit was wicked

'Member jumpin' spot to spot 'cause T-Jones tried to dodge that senten', huh

But shit, I understand 'cause as a man I'm tryna get it

I got dropped from school and grabbed the tool 'cause pops said life was vicious

Shit, I was lost but found a plan, picked it up and then I ran

Never knew this route I took would turn me up to feed my fam

I thank God like every day 'cause, shit, he helped me find my purpose, I was hurtin'

Shit, I went from hearin' shots to hearin' fans behind them curtain

So I know that it's workin'

I just stick to the plan and keep the snakes up out my circle

'Cause the ones that say they love you be the first to try and hurt you

Dry you out and desert you

I really came from the bottom, the top don't come with no curfew

Long nights, we was sittin' there dreamin' under porch lights

Never thought we'd make it past the stop signs

Comin' from a city where the young die

Now it ain't an issue, I fill up them pages

Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it

Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest"

We done come a long way from 'em porch lights, and 'em stop signs, yeah

Right hand on the Bible, I done made it out

Now I'm preachin' like revival, comin' from where I'm from

Don't get caught without it, you might catch a headstone

Hustle and survival, that's the only outcome

Right hand on the Bible, I done made it out

Now I'm preachin' like revival, comin' from where I'm from

Don't get caught without it, you might catch a headstone

Hustle and survival, that's the only outcome

Thinkin' 'bout 'em long nights we was sittin' there dreamin' under porch lights

Never thought we'd make it past the stop signs

Comin' from a city where the young die

Now it ain't an issue, I fill up them pages

Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it

Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest"

We done come a long way from 'em porch lights, and 'em stop signs, yeah

What would I say to her?

I probably would say, "Thank you"

'Cause she taught me a lot

It's aight, it's okay, no hard feelings

But overall, man, I just, I hope she happy
