Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hope you doin' okay
How come things are this way?
You've been distant these days
But cross my mind everyday
Checked your Instagram page
And you ain't gave an update
Must be workin' away
So I'll be patient and wait
[Verse 2]
Last time I heard from you was a long time ago
I'ma need to see you soon before I explode
I just to need to let you know
Long time no see
Long time (long time, long time)
It's been a long time (long time, long time)
[Verse 3]
Woah, woah
Hope you doin' okay
How come things are this way
Look how far we have came
You can't just throw it away
There's no need for a break
If there's no pain there's no gain
No use for you complain
But this is only a phase
[Verse 4]
Last time I heard from you was a long time ago
I'ma need to see you soon before I let go
I just to need to let you know
Long time no see
It's been a long time
(Long time, long time, long time, long time)
(Long time, long time, long time)
It's been a long time
[Verse 5]
A champ's gotta do what a champ's gotta do
Not a balls in my court, caught, shoot myself in the foot by failing to shoot
I had to change into my kit then lace up my boots, and raise up my dukes
Huh, put myself in a win-win situation with nothin' to lose
Sometimes, I'm like Clark Kent, other times I'm Superman in costume
Was that in a plan 'til I got hands on with the matter a right hand
Works and perks hand in hand, got works in a works it's insane fans
Lookin' at my boy, like I got to be a man
Call him my little champion, no man's land, you know like that
Whoa, life was on a back foot, so I took a back seat
I know how it feels like when you're out in the cold
'Cause you got old feet
Had to win it deep
And I had to come down in the fat like a cold turkey
But somehow I rose up to my feet
With knowhow on how to tackle defeat
[Verse 6]
Back off up, back on the score sheet
Back and forth, back to clean sheet
Back on the map service MOTN tax, redirectin' my satnav
Makin' tracks not losin' track
Now I'm self-employed, man, I can't track back
Huh, 'cause this never came overnight
You came over time, but doin' overtime
Plus half the time, my money over time
Got bored up, beat, on the borderline
Use the sign out, but you can't get signed
You signed up for this and now it's showtime
Hm, right as rain
'Cause the futures bright now this gut is my ride
Saw this comin', lookin' back in hind sight
Champion city, you're damn right
[Verse 7]
Cost of in the process and the pipelines
Can't rush the process and lose a lifeline
Got frienemies on my timeline
That turned a blind eye so I keep a close eye
On who's got my back and who just bad boys
Feels like I've been here before
Here and I sit in my astro-traveler
Slip out of conscience and walk with the Lord
Balance in shackles, tell it in thoughts
Man's like me have it different
[Verse 8]
I just to need to let you know
I just to need to let you know
Long time, long time (long time)
Long time, long time (long time)
I just to need to let you know
Long time no see
It's been a long time (long time, long time)
