Too Long - Intellectual

[Hook]

I-I-I-I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long

[Verse 1]

See, I've been wandering the streets

Watchin' everything from the hustle to the beef

Never had a brother here to guide my direction

So, I had to learn with the moves of my feet

Had to take a whoopin' or two to learn fightin'

Even though I'm good, I don't even really like it

Had to deal with niggas that be thinkin' they royalty

None them mo'fuckers don't know about loyalty

They talked about it, I watched them talk about it

I got surrounded 20 deep and no one walked up out it

With bats and boots they beat me down, I didn't walk up out it

I came up out the hospital, they wanna talk about it

They claim that they were ride or die, they ran, I had to fight or die

And then these niggas had the nerve to run their jaws about it

Sayin' they apologize and how that shit won't happen twice

But I don't give out second chances, I tap jaws about it, 'bout it, 'bout it

What about it? I gave no fucks about it

'Cause niggas left me out for dead and gave no fucks about VI

So, I be on my Uncle Ruckus, I don't trust no new niggas

I left y'all black and blue niggas

So fuck your block and all you niggas

So long

[Hook]

I-I-I-I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long

[Verse 2]

I don't open my heart to many women

'Cause of my name, nowadays I'm just some bitch's winnings

For social media, digits, broads get emotions spinnin'

I catch on and they get cut like opening ribbons

I get looked at as a come up

But I ain't stupid, so that's where most of y'all fuck up

Wrong cases thought I belonged in the wrong places

Just like I bared my heart to the wrong faces

I've been led on by a woman I was fallin' for

And it's obvious she's made a nigga fall before

So the game you bitches run, I ain't fallin' for

Now I'm quick to ask: "what's the reason that I'm fallin' for?"

I'm either a rebound as part of your selfish motion

Or 'cause I'm buzzin', I'm a tool to your self-promotion

Whatever your motive was, revealed I was a fool to trust

A woman of your grade, now these streets ain't for the two of us

[Hook]

I-I-I-I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long

[Verse 3]

Look, I've developed a bit of bitterness

'Cause this ain't a place of love, and honestly I'm sick of it

I still choose to call it home, although I don't fuck with it

Knowing what it comes with, guess I'm a glutton for punishment

Niggas only cool when they want somethin' you've got

Bitches play you like a fool 'till you're no one and then it stops

There's no such thing as permanent here and I wanna make a switch

This life got me sitting here sayin' shit like Jaden Smith

There's lots of people and moments I wish I could forget

But I ain't leavin' yet, 'cause I wish to do it with no regrets

The only thing keepin' me here now is my business

No bitch, no homie, just work that's unfinished

No love, no clique, just feelings left diminished

And once it's all over, I'll be gone in an instant

So to the woman who did nothin' but leave

To the niggas in whom I believed

Don't utter nothin' when I leave

I'm ghost

[Hook]

I-I-I-I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long

Baby, I've been on this

I've been on these streets for too long
