Cordae — Long Nights

[Intro] Days grow shorter, the fight get stronger And I'm whipping up the juice The fight gets stronger We back, yeah We back [Verse] You see the nights get longer, as the days grow shorter My fight get stronger, as I witness slow torture Been through it all, seen it all in no order My rhymes Arizona, state lines ain’t got no border See, see, I've been down and alone Swimming in the shark water, might drown on my own Nigga always follow waves, I'm surrounded by clones Pound for pound, check the sound, words my crown on the throne Then I be happy, I be satisfied, living in gratified Just another rapper died That’s why I move the way that I move, gotta strategize I see your dreams crumble in person, you had the saddest eyes Mom, would you be mad if I Took my own life, don't worry, never had thoughts of it But lord knows I done lost, suffered, no cars covered I feel the people that's contemplating, they lost purpose It's all rubbish, we flying with Hugo Boss luggage So DMV nigga, I read scriptures Drowning in all this cheap liquor And one bad day will turn your whole week bitter This past year, I took more L's than Meek nigga But I'm hopping out the van in Africa, with chains and safaris My man told me, "Make a hit that they can play in the parties" But I'll stay true to my roots like Damian Marley I took a couple money picks, tell Jay Z I'm sorry Laying out my blueprints, hoping to make the new rent Last month we made it but barely, I’m just a student Shit, that’s just excuses But I don't do the talking, I leave it all in the music Damn, what’s my influence That's the question to ask If this breath be my last Will I still be remembered, what I left in the past And will my impact show niggas that I was destined to rap The only option besides balling and catching a pass Damn
