Long Time
Ooh, it's been a long, long time
Since I been back around the way
It's been a long time
(Let it spin, let spin, let it spin)
Since I been back around your way
It's been a long time, long time
(Long time, long time)
Yeah, struck by the luck of the draw
Real life preservation, what I'm hustling for
My name black thought the definition of raw
I was born in South Philly on a cement floor
I had nothing at all I had to knuckle and brawl
They swore I'd fall be another brick in the wall
Another life full of love that lost, that's silly, this Philly
Y'all really ain't stoppin' the boy with the pen like Willie
On top of the hall pure soul is what the city's most popular for
Hear the tones that will ease you
Smooth as Bunny Sigler's soundtrack keepin' your head boppin'
And all, it's something in the water
Where I come from they used to sing it on the corner
Where I come from, making somethin' outta nothing
Because everybody fifty cents from a quarter
Where I come from, yeah
The streets ain't timid but I feel at home in it
Gotta see a couple people, I ain't got at In a minute
Yeah You can take a brother outta South Philly
Can't take it outta him really I forever represent it and it's
Ooh, it's been a long, long time
Since I been back around the way
It's been a long time
(Let it spin, let spin, let it spin)
Since I been back around your way
It's been a long time, long time
(Long time, long time)
Live and dirvet I don't need no mic check
Remember mommy told me, 'You ain't write that'
It started in the bathroom taking a dump
Listening to Ultra magnetic Ego tripping you won't
Pressure my word I'm the urban vision of you chump
Stomped on a different ground Sound second to none
Synthesizers tweet To improvise your feet
I calculated every lyric to arrive on a beat
It's free come get high on me
Before a nine millimeter shell
Hit my pelle pelle in the P

Yeah, it's somethin' in the water
Where I come from they used to sing it on the corner
Where I come from, making somethin' outta nothing
Because everybody fifty cents from a quarter
Yo, where I come from
It's just a natural reaction for crack to make it happen
Let the pen ink sink Into the paper of the pad
Think back when I was younger
Ghetto could have took me under
Young Peedi can't mess with North Philly never had
You don't know about me, you ain't stroll my streets
Look familiar, I feel ya, longtime no see
Ooh, it's been a long, long time
Since I been back around the way
It's been a long time
(Let it spin, let spin, let it spin)
Since I been back around your way
It's been a long time, long time
(Long time, long time)
Uhh, clap somethin' but whatever you clap
Clap to the record spinnin' while I'm takin' you back
To the top paper era, baby, big on that
Picture the pool room where the money getters was at
And street people with feather in the cap
Or their bossolino pullin' paper as if it's a small casino
I was a young boy sweepin' the floors and runnin' to stores
But all those old heads would talk to me
About the way to clutch the eagle on a buck and truck
And if I'm down how to get back up?
Just survival kid and it's a struggle worldwide
I'm positive shit the ghetto might as well be the Gaza Strip
You know where all the monsters is
And atreet walkers, you don't see no consciousness
I'm coming back to where the core of the problem is
We on the job again, y'all know what time it is
Ooh, it's been a long, long time
Since I been back around the way
It's been a long time
(Let it spin, let spin, let it spin)
Since I been back around your way
It's been a long time, long time
(A long time, long time)
