[Hook]
It’s been too long I can’t control
Myself by lie I’ll never find my peace
Guilt-ridden I cannot deny
Who wants to live like this?

[Verse 1]
I feel like I’m so close, but so far
They don’t want us to know, but we’ve already seen it all
Getting’ tempted by all these women like Nicki Minaj
They got us dancin’ with the Devil in the city of God
Times are gettin’ hard we livin’ in paranoia
But I’m rolling with the punches like Oscar De La Hoya
Undefeated like Floyd, that’s word to J Terra
I promise you I’m ready for whatever may weather
Through the rain or the shine, to obtain what is mine
I’m trying to escape from all the pain in my mind
I’m numb to the world, but still I must grind
Cause’ opportunity can knock at any given time
Just close your eyes, picture where I’m coming from
Cause’ to be old and wise, you gotta’ young and dumb
We livin’ in troubled times ain’t no tellin’ what’ll come
It’s a cold world even when the summer comes
[Hook]
It’s been too long I can’t control
Myself by lie I’ll never find my peace
Guilt-ridden I cannot deny
Who wants to live like this?

[Verse 2]
I got no love for these girls, no love for these niggas
No love for the world, throwin’ up the middle finger
To anybody that’s walking over me, I wish you would try
It’s such a shame they done changed up the good guy
Now I’m tin man, heartless, lost in the darkness
Proceed with caution, I lost it
I done seen some shit in this world that made me nauseous
Niggas hittin’ they women and biches havin’ abortions, uh
When will it ever change, this never ending pain
Will we be different from our fathers or end up the same
I’m tryina’ tell you my story my nigga, fuck the game
I’m making my way up the ladder climbing up to fame
They say I’ll be great, guess we gon’ have to wait and see
I come from a place where even police be afraid to be
Niggas be loaded with full clips, no AMC
No room for the bullshit, No Vacancy

[Hook]
It’s been too long I can’t control
Myself by lie I’ll never find my peace
Guilt-ridden I cannot deny
Who wants to live like this?
[Verse 3]
Let’s have a toast to real niggas tryina’ get a deal
To provide the income for their family’s next meal
And the girl who’s full of knowledge that got accepted to college
But she barely can afford it so she strips to pay the bills
You think everything is fine, you don’t even know
This world is full of lies that’s why I’m leaving a note
To these internet thugs tryina’ get the game shook
Step in my space, and you’ll get your get your face booked
When I’m zone the world moves in slow motion
No jokin’, I’m so focused, wanna know why?
Cause the shit that comes up outta my mind is potent
These just might be the realist words I’ve ever spoke
In this world full of fakers, it’s hard to be legit
But I’m living I’m famous and I’m far from being rich
Now they tellin’ me I’m the one, but that’s no surprise
Cause’ I’ve already seen it all when I close my eyes
Feel the pain, we been livin’ a lie
They say everything can change in the blink of an eye
Well I’m flyer than a plane, I should live in the sky
But the only thing I’m racing is time, I’ll be fine

[Hook]
It’s been too long I can’t control
Myself by lie I’ll never find my peace
Guilt-ridden I cannot deny
Who wants to live like this?
