Lyrics
It takes a long time, to see a person grow
Yet it moves so fast, watchin' all the time go
I take a look at my past and all the homies with it
I wish I could go back, cause you know I kinda miss it
Takes a long time, to be chillin' at the top
You can be on the main screen instead of on the backdrop
Work, work, that's all they say for you to do
But ya gotta keep livin' and keep bein' you
It takes a long time, to figure out a plan
Set your goals super high, cause I know you really can
You can be an inspiration, to the world around
Help other people out, be the talk of the town
It takes a long time, to earn the recognition
Some people get it quick, but you know what's missin'
Yah, all that ambition, it's practically a mission
Start doin' your own thing stop askin' for permission
Takes a long time, long time
It takes a long time you gotta get the hang of it
Long time, long time
It takes a long time you gotta get the hang of it
It takes a long time, to be feelin' content
To get up on top, to be as hard as cement
Other people have opinions, but don't take it as fact
Set out the game plan, and be ready to attack
It takes a long time, to earn the green
Different people, different ways you don't gotta be mean
Just get the grind on, turn the stones into dust
Live life to the fullest cause you know it's a must
It takes a long time, to earn some respect
Workin' a full job, just to collect
It's important to keep your virtues, and everything within it
Keep your eyes on the prize cause you know you gotta get it
Takes a long time, you probably get the message
Use all your purpose and passion to create the edges
Go down your own path, don't let anybody change it
Takes a long time, and you know you gotta claim it
Takes a long time, long time
It takes a long time you gotta get the hang of it
Long time, long time
It takes a long time you gotta get the hang of it
Such a long time
Hang on
