Ying Yang Twins Feat. Anthony Hamilton - Long Time lyrics

rate me

Girl, me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time<br />

(Such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time)<br />

And girl, the thought of leavin' you has never crossed my mind<br />

(I don't really wanna be without you)<br />

(Well oh oh)<br />

<br />

Up in the street and misguided never payed attention<br />

So I got my soul divine, player's soul decided<br />

To let my soul confide with the lights of him<br />

Who the Father, my bread and my water<br />

<br />

I never bought a cue and into this down in my world<br />

Are you going let you hypocrites<br />

It'll take your life to be a Christian man<br />

I hope you learn, everything else, is in vein<br />

<br />

So you're bound to burn, gonna break your bone<br />

I'm in a war don't let this life game over-rule<br />

Trying take control of you, that's all the devil do<br />

God was in Jesus, God is in us<br />

<br />

But God ain't in the barrel of that pistol that you bust<br />

You can play this game wrong, you gotta take it how it goes<br />

Is there ever a feeling for living if the body's gone?<br />

I never understood why what can make a man cry<br />

It can make a man strong when nobody's on his side<br />

<br />

Girl, me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time<br />

(Such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time)<br />

And girl, the thought of leavin' you has never crossed my mind<br />

(Say girl)<br />

(Never crossed my mind, never crossed my mind, oh)<br />

<br />

Back and forth, night and day, you repeat the same scene<br />

Standing at the pool a bit, time to repent again<br />

Mostly men have a gun just put that down on circle purpose<br />

When the poo of the world, got me standin' by the circle<br />

<br />

Agitate you, yes it does, this is what you though was love<br />

Only name, same to be lust, mixed emotions make you wanna bust<br />

Mama tryin', children cryin', dad outta work, welfare lying<br />

Prejudice, always see, the bottom of the barrel<br />

<br />

Falling down on my knees, Heavenly Father, here we go on knowing<br />

That we get to heaven, there's gonna be some open arms<br />

Judgment was man-made, not a God led, and this I recorded<br />

But I didn't live the party, but I thank that my heart beat<br />

<br />

Gotta make me, oh sure Jesus I don't know if there's a hell<br />

But I know I've witnessed hell here, all I do is dwell here<br />

Trying not to trail here, saying too much will get<br />

You knocked off or locked up in jail here<br />

<br />

Tell me do you smell fear, knowing that we so near<br />

Trying to take the voices of the truth, out the youth ear<br />

And if you late a time frame, you play all kind of mind games<br />

I ain't put my life on the line for a damn thing<br />

<br />

Girl, me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time<br />

(Such a mighty long time, such a mighty long time)<br />

And girl, the thought of leavin' you has never crossed my mind<br />

(I don't really wanna be without you)<br />

(And never crossed my mind, and never crossed my mind, oh)<br />

<br />

Girl, I can never make it, I can never ever make it<br />

Without you baby 'cause you've been my best friend<br />

When everybody turned their back on me<br />

You were there when I fell down on my knees<br />

And I give you all, all of me, and every part of me<br />

<br />

Girl, me and the Lords been friends for a mighty long time<br />

(For long time, for a long time)<br />

And girl, the thought of leavin' you has never crossed my mind<br />

(I don't really wanna be without you)<br />

<br />

I ain't never gonna leave, I ain't never gonna go, no way<br />

Well I'ma live, well I will never leave you, no no<br />

When the people say, c'mon and go with me<br />

'Cause I will never leave you and you've been my best friend<br />

Nobody understand, well they can't look inside of me, oh yeah
