So Long - Tithe

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

You turn back, I will turn back

I’ma get my life on track

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

What it take to be great?

What it take to be on?

What it take to get lost?

Find your way through a song

Shinin' my right and my wrongs, feel like it’s takin' too long

But I know where I belong, right here inside of these songs

Five mixtapes, one album, that’s four years (four years)

Two heartbreaks and friends lost, that’s more fears

That’s more music, more drive, less belief in nine-to-fives

More belief in «if I dream it, I can make it come alive»

Wake up grindin', makin' mind;

where I get to, I decide

Go get busy, worry 'bout your plate and stay up outta mine

Hate is hard to contemplate, safe inside my state of mind

I’ve been countin' down the years, think it’s 'bout to be my time

'Cause if people believe, that’s really all that I need

'Cause life don’t make it too easy for people followin' dreams

That’s why I write it all down then walk you right through the scenes

So you know all that it is, and watch, it’s gonna be seen

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

You turn back, I will turn back

I’ma get my life on track

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

Yeah, uh

Ayo, I always wrote the best rhymes

Lamped in the west side

Sold weed, now I sell CDs like Best Buy

Flow still ignorant, new clothes

Two hoes, little twins

Tryna get the Benjamins

Can’t call it, my rap style’s flamboyant

I run circles 'round you like water in the toilet

My brain’s spinnin', my whole life is like a game to women

I supervise the track, Lamp City babysittin'

Whatchu know about hard work payin' off?

You a fake like Madoff, I’m to your

I slay on, kill more beats than Armageddon

Can’t go to sleep 'cause my brains still stay on

I’m twenty-one, older and smarter, the flow is retarded

I see so much my name should be Arthur

I blast rhymes in my pastime, it’s easy to me

I took some time to figure out what I needed to be

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

You turn back, I will turn back

I’ma get my life on track

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

Long days, short nights, I needed some momentum

To get back to the fight, long way, no time

You see me agin' in this mirror mind

I got a long list of to-dos that I’ll shot

Keep it real all the time, fresh to death and I’m fine

Everything takes time, sometimes less if grind

Work hard to find the shortcuts in life

Speedin' down the freeway, so long, goodbye

Gettin' my life back on track

Leavin' today, no excuses, I’m back

It took me forever—so long, in fact

I miss the people that have my back

I’ve traveled the roads and I’ve seen the riches

This song is a story, you make your decisions

If we turn back now, we might end up lost

Forever, I’ve changed, here’s a map and a compass, so long, so long

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)

But it’s gonna be

You turn back, I will turn back

I’ma get my life on track

But it’s gonna be

So, so long (so, so)
