Longer

Written by：Natalie Lauren/India Shawn/Dirty Rice/Joseph Prielozny/Trip Lee

Day has arrived babies they cried

Wife been up 8 35

Smelling the coffee I wake then I nod

Wrestle with guilt am I lazy or not

Now it's 11 the am has died

I slept through alarms my anger is odd

I'm mad but I'm not I'm decaying inside

Too numb to be sad I can't even lie

My heart is a drum all its playing is

Why

The echo is loud I'm vacant inside

I'm out of my body I gaze in my eyes

I look like a zombie say my goodbyes

It's killing my highs I'm asking my god

To heal me I'm not asking for much

I just wanna say how long will it be

Till you take it away

If you ever wonder

How long you'll be under

The weight is on your shoulders

But it won't be always

I know you losing patience

It's written on your face and

I can see you clearly but all that I can say is

Just a little while longer longer longer

Just a little longer longer for me

I'm sick of the pain I'm finna complain

My doctor is lost man illness is lame

'07 it came and it's never the same

It's killing my job it's been killing my name

My label is mad and I'm feeling shame

They not hearing back when they call me and man

My new book overdue and my brain is a mess

So what I'ma do 'cause my publisher's stressed

I'm shepherding too I keep letting them down

'Cause my body can crash then I'm never around

Nowhere to be found but I'm in the bed

That's for weeks at a time and it's dead in my head

My wife she hurt the pain in her eyes

She tryna be strong and just take it in stride

But it's wearing her down and I'm asking today

How long will it be till you take it away

If you ever wonder

How long you'll be under

The weight is on your shoulders

But it won't be always

I know you losing patience

It's written on your face and

I can see you clearly but all that I can say

It don't take a lifetime

Waiting on a lifeline

The pain is only temporary

Feeling like your hands tied

Almost to the other side

Pain is only temporary

Just a little while longer longer longer

Just a little longer longer for me
