VI Seconds - Too Long lyrics

[Hook] I-I-I-I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long [Verse 1] See, I've been wandering the streets Watchin' everything from the hunger to the beef Never had a brother here to guide my direction So, I had to learn with the moves of my feet Had to take a whoopin' or two to learn fightin' Even though I'm good, I don't even really like it Had to deal with n***as that be thinkin' they royalty None them mo'f**ers don't know about loyalty They talked about it, I watched them talk about it I got surrounded 20 deep and no one walked up out it With bats and boots they beat me down, I didn't walk up out it I came up out the hospital, they wanna talk about it They claim that they were ride or die, they ran, I had to fight or die And then these n***as had the nerve to run their jaws about it Sayin' they apologize and how that sh** won't happen twice But I don't give out second chances, I tap jaws about it, 'bout it, 'bout it What about it? I gave no f**s about it 'Cause n***as left me out for dead and gave no f**s about VI So, I be on my "Uncle Ruckus", I don't trust no new n***as I left y'all black and blue n***as So f** your block and all you n***as So long [Hook] I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long... [Verse 2] I don't open my heart to many women 'Cause of my name, nowadays I'm just some b**h's winnings For social media, digits, broads get emotions spinnin' I catch on and they get cut like opening ribbons I get looked at as a come up But I ain't stupid, so that's where most of y'all f** up Wrong cases thought I belonged in the wrong places Just like I bared my heart to the wrong faces I've been led on by a woman I was fallin' for And it's obvious she's made a n***a fall before So the game you b**hes run, I ain't fallin' for Now I'm quick to ask, "What's the reason that I'm fallin' for?" I'm either a rebound as part of your selfish motion Or 'cause I'm buzzin' I'm a tool to your self-promotion Whatever your morals was revealed I was a fool to trust A woman of your grade, now these streets ain't for the two of us [Hook] I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long... [Verse 3] Look, I've developed a bit of bitterness 'Cause this ain't a place of love, and honestly I'm sick of it I still choose to call it home, although I don't f** with it Knowing what it comes with, guess I'm a glutton for punishment n***as only cool when they want somethin' you've got b**hes play you like a fool 'till you know it, and then it stops There's no such thing as permanent here and I wanna make a switch This life got me sitting here sayin' sh** like Jaden Smith There's lots of people and moments I wish I could forget But I ain't leavin' yet, cause I wish to do it with no regrets The only thing keepin' me here now is my business No b**h, no homie, just work that's unfinished No love, no clique, just feelings left diminished And once it's all over, I'll be gone in an instant So to the woman who did nothin' but leave To the n***as in whom I believed Don't utter nothin' when I leave I'm ghost [Hook] I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long Baby I've been on Baby I've been on these I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
