[Verse 1]
It's a long time, a long time coming
It's a long time, a long time coming
It's a long time, a long time coming
It's a long time, a long time coming
[Verse 2]
You tell me how you think I should be
It's so easy
You tell me what people want from me
Well, I'll just be myself
It's the only way I can be but you don't see
You accuse, abuse integrity
You don't know one damn thing about me
Not one damn thing
[Verse 3]
Build me up and then you tear me down
Curse my name when I'm not around
You're so hard until the truth is found
What goes 'round always comes around
[Verse 4]
And it's a long time, a long time, a long time coming
A long time, a long time, a long time coming
A vicious circle
In your face I'll come running
Try and stop me
A long time, much too long and I'm coming
Try and stop me
[Verse 5]
I like to keep my friends around me close
But my enemies closer
Friends accept me for just who I am
Not someone I'm supposed to be
Or something they expect for free
Do you know me?
I live with myself, I know my place
Wipe that bullshit smile off your face
The show is over
[Verse 6]
Build me up and then you tear me down
Curse my name when I'm not around
You're so hard until the truth is found
What goes 'round always comes around
[Verse 7]
And it's a long time, a long time, a long time coming
A long time, a long time, a long time coming
A vicious circle
In your face I'll come running
Try and stop me
A long time, much too long and I'm coming
Try and stop me
[Verse 8]
You and me are gonna take a walk
I think it's time we had a little talk
I said you and me are gonna take a walk
And we're gonna do more than walk and talk
[Verse 9]
Let me see how you think I should be
You think it's so easy?
Put yourself on trial every day
Against a hung jury
You don't know one thing about me
You believe the hype you see
But in my heart God knows I'll be true
To what my life will bring
[Verse 10]
And it's a long time, a long time, a long time coming
A long time, a long time, a long time coming
A vicious circle
In your face I'll come running
Try and stop me
A long time, much too long and I'm coming
Try and stop me
