It Wont Be Long
[Verse 1:]
So many things on my mind, it's got me looking for a place to hide
How can I fly if my every vibe is suicide
I try, I can't lie some nights I even cry
Hoping I die Before I wake
It's only by faith that I survive, so much we endure
Being young black & poor detoured behind bars
& what for?
Just trying to seek hope through petty dope
For whom the bell tolls, & it goes
With my soul exposed, watching the whole globe explode
Sitting writing in my book of rhymes feeling every hook & line
As the worlds haste in wasting
Innocent lives are being taking, It's like global gang banging
Im lane changing, dipping through time travel the super natural
From niggas to gods, against every odd The prodigal
Has returned
The wind blows ten fold hearts of men froze
Hence goes to show It won't be long, just hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on,Be Strong,It Won't Be Long
If you've wondered where I've been
I've searched 2 find a love with in
Through all space and time I hope 2 find
A place to ease my soul and rest my mind
[Verse 2:]
Behind these eyes lie inside a mind wavered
Tomb raiders & space invaders still inslave us
Never gave us our 40 acres, made us hate us
Chase there paper, slaves to wickedness in high places
Playa grab hold of my hand & let me take ya
Through the holocaust that holds a cost
That money could'nt pay up
Stay up on your caper, busy baker, getcha cake up
The block emaciated still we're tryna get our weight up
I came up on this long & winding road
This hell we call home this America eats it's own
Just check the narrative, they say we're all savages
Left perishing while our city sank like battle ships
So whats the matter chick? don't let it weigh you down
Just know the chips you get to strip, is for the cap & gown
I wish I could blast off like Nasa
Heal these broken wings & take the cast off
As the world moves fast as Nascar
My souls frozen in motion, so hoping Jehova send
Some type of sign, to reach the block
Maggot brains wrapped in cellophane
Through the black orifice they drop
The cosmic slop, the saints of a latter day
Someday we'll all be free, like Donny Hathaway say
This is my rhapsody i'll let the lord have his way
Open up the floodgates to heaven, so the world can sing
[Chorus]
Hold on,Be Strong,It Won't Be Long
If you've wondered where I've been
I've searched 2 find a love with in
Through all space and time I hope 2 find
A place to ease my soul and rest my mind
