Anthony Hamilton - Long Time lyrics

Girl, Me and the Lods been friends for a mighty long time (such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time) And girl, the thought of leavin' you has never crossed my mind (Well oh oh..) Up in the street and misguided never payed attention So I got my soul devine, player's soul decided To let my soul confide with the lights of him Who the father, my bread and my water I never bought a cue and into this (?) Down in my world are you going let you hypocrits It'll take your life to be a Christian man I hope you learn, everything else Is in vein so you're bound to burn Gonna break your bone I'm in a war don't let this life game over-rule Trying take control of you That's all the devil do God was in Jesus, God is in us But God ain't in the barrel of that pistol that you bust You can play this game wrong, you gotta take it how it goes Is there ever a feeling for living if the body's gone I never understood why what can make a man cry It can make a man strong when nobody's on his side Girl, (girl) Me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time (such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time) And girl, the thought of leavin' you has never crossed my mind (Never crossed my mind, never crossed my mind, oooh) (Well oh oh..) Back and forth, night and day, you repeat the same scene Standing at the pool a bit, time to repent again Mostly men have a gun just put that down on circle purpose When the poo of the world, got me standin by the circle Agitate you, yes it does, this is what you though was love Only name, same to be lust, mixed emotions make you wanna bust Mamma tryin, children cryin, dad outta work, welfare lying Prejudice, always see, the bottom of the barrel Falling down on my knees, heavenly father, here we go on knowing That we get to heaven, there's gonna be some open arms Judgment was man-made, not a (..), and this I recorded But I didn't live the party, but I thank that my heart beat Gotta make me, oh sure Jesus I don't know if there's a hell But I know I've whitnessed hell here, all I do is dwell here Trying not to trail here, saying too much will get you knocked off or locked up in jail here Tell me do you smell fear, knowing that we so near Trying to take the voices of the truth, out the youth ear And if you late a time frame, you play all kind of mind games I ain't put my life on the line for a damn thing Girl, Me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time (such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time) And Girl, (I don't really wanna be without you) the thought of leavin' you has never crossed my mind (Never crossed my mind) (Well oh oh..) I can never make it, I can never ever make it Without you baby Cause you've been my best friend Girl When everybody turned their back on me You were there when I fell down on my knees And I give you all, all of me And every part of me, oooowoooo Girl, me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time (For long time, such a mighty long time) And girl, (I don't really wanna be without you) the thought of leavin you has never crossed my mind (Never crossed my mind) (Well oh oh..) I'm a live, I will never leave o no no When the people say, c'mon and go with me 'Cause I will never leave you, and you've been my best friend Nobody understand, but they can't look inside of me O yeah..
