Long Time Coming - Avelino

I saw the vision and I stayed focused

Remain focus, the main focus

Yeah, from late nights to Daytona’s

From great drive to Range Rovers

Yeah, soul searching is so worth it

Could’ve been an accident, still have your own purpose

The mandem don’t work for me, they’re my co-workers

'Cause the closest ones go the furthest, yeah

Why you telling me a friend of me’s an enemy?

These people tryna start something just to see the end of me

I needed to be worse off just to see the better me

I still assemble with niggas that I was in assembly with

Chat shit but you ain’t telling me shit, I’ll outverse man

I ain’t gotta tell him he’s shit, I’m now Bergkamp

You take shots I assist, and I’ll swerve man

Hoping U-turn when you diss, yeah

It’s all fun and games ‘til you play yourself

It’s all runaway when you enslave yourself

I was made in the ends, thinking Maida Vale

So I turned into Young Fire 'cause I came from hell

Give her heaven before mummy gets to heaven

So I fire in the booth, daily duppy with the weapon

I’m in true religion ‘cause they want me in their denims

Putting two and two together, never made a lucky seven before

Go getters, this is get it galore

I’ll put 20's on the floor and call it settling scores

‘Cause capital’s for everybody but the choice was yours

I wondered if the culture could get rinsed anymore

And now the mandem got a Mercury and didn’t plan it

Meanwhile gyal are getting surgery but still ain’t Janet

It’s like I need a velvet rope to give me balance

I don’t even date no more and it gives me balance

‘Cause I don’t trust these girls I’m contradicting myself ‘cos I love these

girls

Yeah they love me well but do they love me as well?

When I’ve got seven sisters who don’t know about the snail

Who don’t know about the Colombians, don’t know about the Wickes

So I move wicked on them, never hold down a bitch

Who couldn’t come and meet my children but could swallow my kids

I ain’t got me any children I’m just saying what if, yeah

I drink, don’t smoke but I’m faded

I ain’t been this stoned in ages

I’m in a room full of smoke

Coming at Young Fire, that’s a room full of smoke, I’m so dangerous

Couldn’t get a list of plays, got no playlist

Promise you I won’t come down when I go A-List

Can’t follow fresh footsteps in old trainers

Is this worth more than money?

I may need patience

It’s been a long time coming

Oh I, know why, they say, no grind, no shine

It’s been a long time coming

Yeah

Grinding all day, I want my days back

Did a song about my hood, I think I’m Ray Blk

Late nights in the 15, yeah I gave back

But I’m tryna build up, turn a yout' to a made man

But he’s got his steel tucked and he won’t let it go

Indecisive, he’s saying yes and no

But he remembers that he’s street, can’t forget the road

Probably do something he regrets, that’s only if he gets involved

Yeah, that’s the story of most of the youngers

Gotta go with your gut feeling I’ve grown in the gutters

Brotherhood will get my brothers out the hood

I had nothing to show for this, now I get shows in abundance

Yeah, what a feeling, what a feeling

I’m tryna protect my angels, deal with my demons

I’m tryna show you we’re able without the preaching

Uh, I’m the difference between madness and genius, wow

Yeah

I can’t believe this how did we get this far

Will these bars get me to a Bar Mitzvah?

Ay

It’s been a long time coming

Oh
