Too Long

[chorus]

Maybe I stayed away too long (Lil'Rome Ya'll)

Did I leave your mind when I was gone (Did I,really did I)

It's not my thing trying to get back (I'm done working now I gotta get back)

But this time let me tell you where I'm at (I'm right here ya'll)

[1st Verse]

This is to all my fans that bought my CD,I love ya'll,without ya'll, I couldn't be

me,you keep a smile on my face,everytime I'm away,this is for the kids from state to state,I

wanna thank ya'll for just standing in line,giving me a chance,thanks for helping me shine,I love

music but I really do it for ya'll,it's a wonderful feeling when I walk through the mall,love is

all I need,because of that I succeed,hearing kids screaming,is a wonderful thing,every night I

thank God and go to sleep with a praire,everytime I hear my name,I know that you care,It makes me

happy knowing I touch your heart,I got ya'll,'cause ya'll was there from the start,so if you're

ever at home, alone and scared,just put in the CD and I'll be there,okay

[chorus]

[repeat 1x]

[2nd Verse]

To my brothers,sisters,cousins and all,you were there from day1,you been through it

all,we're family,you're my next of kin,you taught me play hard try my best to win,never sell

myself short,even off the court,especially my parents ya'll showed me the road,kept it

real,taught me my rights and wrongs,this is how I feel this is more than a song,to my uncles and

aunties I love ya'll too,you always taught me no matter what tell the truth,together we

stand,separated we fall,if there's anything you need just give me a call,I'll be there in a

flash,if you need me just ask,Rest In Peace to everybody in the world that passed,when times are

hard and you break into tears,just look on your side 'cause I'll be right there,okay

[chorus]

[repeat 1x]

[3rd Verse]

Couldn't live without radio and MTV,Nickelodeon,can't forget BET,all the record

stores,everybody on tour,all the

magazines I keep it hot for ya'll,to my #1 fans,my picture man,to my dancers,helping me do my

dance,to my basketball coach and my basketball team,one love,for helping me fulfill my dreams,to

my teachers in school,to my friends in class,to all of the good times,and ones that's bad,to all

of the people I ain't seen in years,keep your head up,remember I'll be right there,I've been

around the world in so much in a year,come to find out that so much of you care,that's why I

picked this track,ya'll put me where I'm at,I love ya'll,it feels good to be back,okay
