Long Time Gone

[Intro]

Johnny, Johnny, I'm thinking 'bout you now

And it's Johnny, Johnny, I'm thinking 'bout you now

It seems as though I've known you for a long long time...

[Verse 1]

(Been such a long time gone) That I had come back just to flip through old memories

Asking folks that I know if they remember me

They like, "Nah, not really, B..."

Got me rolling up sticky leaves

In the park, where I used to play Little League

I even fucked by the courts on Christmas Eve

Niggas used to just huddle up and kick a free'

I miss the breeze more than anything;

That old feeling of flying through the sky

On a natural high, zoning out rhyming

Sun started shining, eyes start drying

Mouth got crusty, thinking "what was we?"

We was Gods... or damn near invincible

Free as stars, livin' life with no principles

Just students being taught through experience

Lost in experiments of life...

And it's been such a long time...

[Hook]

(Been such a long time gone

I often try to remember...)

[Verse 2]

(Been such a long time gone) That I forget how real this shit gets, it's ill

Some kids got killed in the past, and it was hard to get passed

But eventually frowns became laughs

I down a mean glass of Hennessy

Channeling memories, just to escape shit that's killin' me

I got a bad tendency to swallow yak and roll sacks

Just so I can scroll back time, simple me

Remember we was tripping off of Mr. T's gold chain

Wishing we was old enough to hold things?

Like drank and dank

Pornos and cigarettes

Now all a kid needs is the internet

I been feeling like I've been a vet rhyming

Still trying to get a check, grinding

Everything we dreamed about then is too hard to find

But it's still there stuck in the mind

Just remember the times

[Hook]
