Gone For Too Long Lyrics

I hope these tears worth it

You can hear the blood and sweat up in these verses

I'm malnourished but that fire in me still burning

Look me in my eyes, you can see that I'm fucking livid

Yakubians fucking up the way I'm living

What I want to do to them, type explicit

I miss my smile, nowadays waking up with a grimace

Painted on my face, talking to myself,questioning my damn fate

Why the only time I can make a song when the feelings in my heart rather strong

I don't understand

I gotta be a man

But I'm holding on habits that are setting me back

I can't help but feel like I'm trapped

Living in America, how can I stay relaxed?

Young and black, so I'm only given pieces and scraps

I know my pops worried, cause my room looking like a hurricane ran through it

I feel useless

But I'm worth more

How long will me and my family be poor

White man got luxury galore

Meanwhile I got problems I can't ignore

Whitey on the moon, and whitey in the sea

It's a black planet, explain to me why we not free

Explain to me why babies can't eat

Explain to me why the homeless gotta stay in the street

Explain to me why my future look bleak

Explain to me why everything we do is obsolete

Explain to me

Explain why I'm talking on this damn beat

Explain to me

I been gone for too long, I gotta stay calm,

I gotta stay strong
