Gonna Be a Long Time

Well, everybody's lookin' for something they can't find

Walking straight ahead, blindfolded production line

Only taking time for one type of shoe shine

Don't look left, right, now you got a street fine

Everybody lookin' for just a little more

Working late nights trying to fight off the day glow

Waiting for the come around but it is a no show

Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo'

Oh, what's in store, I don't know anymore

Oh, what's inside 'cause I can't hide from it now more?

Oh, what you see, well, it's not me anymore

Oh, I don't know, well, I don't know, man, anymore

Because I tell you once, I tell you twice, gonna be a long time

But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you

Where were you? You weren't listenin'

Gonna be a long time, gonna be a long time

So now you're face down, face lookin' like a frying pan

Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man

Beating your chest just like you're King Kong

But you're just a guitar no string, no song

Feeling free like ya' don't even know it

Man, you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it

Man, ya' stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game

So much potential, it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame

Here we go again, same old shit, just another name

Looking at the destiny there in your palm

But now you got your strings but you got no song

So sing, sing, sing, shake it like a chicken wing

It's not what you get, it's about what you bring, bring, bring

So bring it, bring it to the table

Not because you have to, 'cause you're willing and you're able

Oh, what's in store, I don't know anymore

Oh, what's inside 'cause I can't hide from it no more?

Oh, what you see, well, it's not me anymore

Oh, I don't know, I don't know anymore

Because I tell you once, I tell you twice, gonna be a long time

But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time

You, where were you? You weren't listening

Gonna be a long time, gonna be a long time
