9th Wonder - Long Time Coming lyrics

[Verse 1: Lecrae] I've been treating this part of life like a dance floor Side stepping all the things I've made plans for And I ain't acting when I'm taking on a man's role Chance to enhance the fam can be a handful I rather have my hands full than be empty-handed Travel all around the planets till I have it planted Firm roots like great grand pap, married 65 years, 20 kids, same family Strong as an ox and I'm from the same stock So I won't be hanging out 'till I see the sun-o'clock It's been a long time coming but I'm coming at a decent hour Everything I have is ours start the wedding shower Teeball games in the summer ballet in the winter And I ain't scrolling through my twitter while we having dinner Time to grow up, done drinkin I throw up Neglected little man from my plans, try'n to blow up Some people are so focused on the road to success They don't see their whole family laying dead on the tracks I rather cease to have my lyrics read over tracks And put some family photos on the walls instead of plaques [Interlude: Swoope] It's been a long time coming, but we're here now Unashamed [Verse 2: Swoope] Look I remember watching videos by Hype Will Thinking I could do that if I had a nice deal But the precedent is MC's dead believe They take the same exit that Mason Betha did Cause when you're talking steal then ya sound hard But they let you out ya deal when you found God Back to watching Hype Will, think about how I feel Wishin spitting Christian wasn't God's will It's been a long time running, long time wondering Long time humming stupid songs that I hated From a rapper that I felt was overrated Cause I knew that he was faking but he everybody's favorite Coming with that same hi hat and 808 hit Bricks that they weight lift, chicks that is naked I'm in my house studyin' the scripts that is sacred If this a success recipe I ain't gonna make it So many reasons not to. I only graduated high school I'm from a small little city that they fly through, but never fly to Just a plain town tryin' to be fly too Ak-town rapper, we backed down never So I'm finna to take my hood up like Trayvon Finna hold my hood down like your favorite mob Finna mix some hood nouns with the Pharaoh Monch Walk up with the king boy I'm about to Pharaoh march Red Sea is my favorite part The Lord opened up a new avenue Industry got the wrong awards and we pa**in through Church clothes on the mic spitting what your pastor do Looking at the world through our Master's view Offer you the optic codes, keep this gla**es, too On fire for the king, but we're cold rappers, dude It's been a long time coming
