Yeah, this your boy tee
Aka money ganster
Holding it down for afica
Omo niger for realla
This one is out for all my niggaz
[CHORUS]
It's been so long (so long)
Have been so strong (so strong)
Have done much wrongs (done wrongs)
Am still so strong (like never)
[Repeat 2X]
[Verse 1]
Have felt pains all along
But who am I to coplain
I should just shut the fuck up
Have seen those, who's been through worse
But you should hear it
From the mouth od the horse
Everyone has to carry his or her cross
Like Jesus carried his own cross
Negotiating back his fathers love for us
He was sinless but crucified cuz of us
Who the has been through worse
Let him raise his hands up
No one, that's exactly what I thought
Two shots up, gunz up
4my niggaz across the world
Especially in the third world
Feelings pains that's hard to digest
Running across our chests
All day and all night
We'll be alright
[CHORUS]
It's been so long (so long)
Have been so strong (so strong)
Have done much wrongs (done wrongs)
Am still so strong (like never)
[Repeat 2X]
[Verse 2]
Real niggaz say pain is love
Cuz these pains make us strong
More pains, more more love
Only real gees wanna show love
Could I say, I was proud to thug
Thougging made me understand real love
An't no one to trust but God
That's why am gonna stay thugging
Am gonna stay real loving
Amd am gonna hide pain puffing
Much puffing brings loving
[CHORUS]
It's been so long (so long)
Have been so strong (so strong)
Have done much wrongs (done wrongs)
Am still so strong (like never)
[Repeat 2X]
Wo gotta kkeep focused
Even if our crops had been eaen up by locusts
Remain strong
Can't afford to breakdown
The stormy whether will soon be over
It'll be like we never ever suffered
We'll still flock our shepherd
Still ride many cars
Cuz we were burn to shine like stars
Stay, stay strong
Be, be strong
Feel, feel strong
It's only a storm
[CHORUS]
It's been so long (so long)
Have been so strong (so strong)
Have done much wrongs (done wrongs)
Am still so strong (like never)
[Repeat 2X]
[Verse 3]
We've lost so many niggaz
Running around playing with triggaz
Niggaz beefing niggaz
Niggaz loving niggaz bitchz
Niggaz hating niggaz wanting changz
But we gotto try to make some changz
Cuz we've lost so many close niggaz, real souljaz

Snipper, may your soul rest in peace
Agba, may your soul rest in peace
Tommy, may your soul rest in peace
Shola, may your soul rest in peace

And for my niggaz locked up
You gonna get out, keep your headz up

Dis tee from the southside
[CHORUS]
It's been so long (so long)
Have been so strong (so strong)
Have done much wrongs (done wrongs)
Am still so strong (like never)
