Too Long

feat. Apocalypse

[Masta Ace - talking]

Man, I was starting to think I wasn't never getting out of here

But, umm, I'mma do things different this time, believe me

I ain't never trying to come back here again

[Guard - talking]

That's what they all say

You'll be back, they always come back

We'll save a cell for you too

[Ace - Talking]

**** that, you ain't gone never see my ass again

Mark my words, this time I'm staying out

Y'all waited too long for this (x4)

[Verse 1: Masta Ace]

Aiyyo, its been a long time just like sweet revenge

Never thought that I'd be seen on these streets again

It's been five years at least

Waiting for a peace

Bouncing off of these walls awaiting my release

Pacing like a caged lion

With rage crying

All them days trying to engage with the iron

Stuck in between a rock and a hard place

I got down on my knees, looked into God's face

Its really not the same, is it?

With low digits

And y'all ain't hold me down, ain't paid me no visits

New cats claiming **** just like they bought stock

And y'all let em move in and take over the block

I heard y'all be out there spending dubs with em

Out all night long, going to clubs with em

I guess thats what I get for having a kind heart

Today's when they life end and mine starts

[Verse 2: Apocalypse]

Sometimes waking up is even kinda scary

Some foul deeds I find necessary

Like the Christ and the Judas theory

I feel the hurt and scream loud but nobody hears me

My broken body bleeds heavy plus my mind is weary

Slipped the Mickey when they first gave me ***

Addicted to the trees, Henneseys and cigarettes

Inhaling the toxic gases when I breath

Study words of higher deity cause him I believe

I don't pray on my knees

Just in case the evils comes like D's

I'll be ready to blast and make him bleed

In high double-digits I go back to the essence

Leave my rhymes behind so you can use em for lessons

Like a new Revelations chapter

You ain't moving slow, it's just that in my mind I'm moving faster

Sick messiah like I'm David Koresh

You done picked the wrong ***** to test

Now pick - the tre pound or the tech

Y'all waited too long for this (x5)

(Gun shots)
