Long Time - Chance The Rapper

Oh, no, no, no, no-no

Well, it’s been a long time, long time now

Since I’ve seen you smile

I wonder if Gladys smiles when angels bring my name up

Or change language and subject change up

Her boy’s a long way from red dogs and green rangers

Things ain’t been the same since Ms. Patterson called me famous

I saw your reflection in a toilet full of vomit water

You don’t think I felt ya hand on my head, yelling: «Call his father»?

But people don’t hear ghosts, so how they gon' play me?

Money saved me, so I’ma do the same thing

You’re droppin' pounds, gettin' small on some sick shit

Like, how you got the drive, but don’t know how to use a stick shift?

You better not miss this, overdose, dope and mixes

Let ya throat close with a boatload of dope quotes within it

Blast off

Dropping tapes 'til I losted count

coughing out blood

Dropping weight like I lost an ounce

Throwing words and tossing nouns

NY traveling, I’m Boston bound, bossing 'round homies

And talking down to shorties while I’m jotting down

Notes to spit to Harlem crowns

Surfing through the Harlem crowds

At the crib, I’m falling down

Yeah, I’m steady crawling 'round

I’m calling out to God

Your little angels falling down

Save me from my darkened cloud

Reach your hands and arms around

Oh, non je t’en prie, nous ne sommes pas chez nous

Oh, je t’assure que ce n’est pas grave

Non laisse-moi!

Mais qu’est-ce que tu as aujourd’hui?

J’ai que les hommes me dégoûtent.

Vous ne pensez qu'à ça

Well, it’s been a long time, long time now

Since I’ve seen you smile

And I’ll gamble away my fright

And I’ll gamble away my time

And in a year, a year or so

This will slip into the sea

Well, it’s been a long time, long time now

(Oh, it’s, oh, it’s been so long)

Since I’ve seen you smile

(It's been so long)

Said it’s been a long time, long time now, now, now

Said it’s been a long time, long time now

And it’s been a long time, long time now
