Long Run

Time changes, new faces

Old best friends, new strangers

New watch just to keep up with the paces

New game plan, off to new places

I got a feeling I can win this race

I've found my pace

The only thing that you can do for me is please stay out my way

No come around my way, unless you got something to pay

I'm trying to find a place where I can free my mind

Where I don't need my 9, ain't to need for crime

I ain't worried about losing, focused on winning

God forgive me for my sinning, but this is the beginning

Ugh, I pray to God that I don't catch another sentence

Got a paragraph in case someone wants to listen

Yeah, sometimes I wish I had some wings so I can fly away

And all you haters talking shit, ya'll can die today

Uh, but I then think if I die today

Well if I got to go, make it right away

Yeah, cause I want to live dying

But if I got to go if I would rather die through trying[?]

We only just began

Yeah I'm here for the Long Run, la la long run

We only just began

Still nothing new but the money, still nothing new but the money

We only just began

And I keep my head up like a point guard

They say I got a shot, shoot for the stars

Please don’t fight my battles I need these scars, cause they make me who I are

Lord knows I came far, but not far enough

My dreams ain’t close enough

I lust for the touch

I’m infatuated wit private jets and such

To ask for, is that too much?

I remember mattresses on the table - no box spring, no bed frame

I refrain from sleep, these dreams keep me awake

I walk around in a cold sweat day dream

On my blackberry, emailing, plotting wit my team

Is it as hard as it seems?

Or hard as we make it?

I gotta make it like it don’t exist

And if you feel me nigga pump ya fist

And if you love me girl, blow a kiss

We’ve only just begun

Yea I’m here for the long run, la la long run

We’ve only just begun

Still nothin’ move but the money

Still nothin’ new but the money

We’ve only just begun

Un

Late nights early mornings

And my days are gettin’ longer

When does night become the morning?

I live my life on the edge

And I woke up hung over, wishin’ I could start over

In my lifetime, regrets look over my shoulder

I hope I’m gettin’ wiser, cause I’m only gettin’ older

I pray tomorrow I make better mistakes

I feel enslaved, I’m over worked and under paid

Damn

But I got on my favorite J’s

I’m jumpin’ out the window, I’m taking a leap of faith

And if you feel me nigga pump ya fist

And if you love me girl, blow a kiss
