7 Nights

[Bridge]
Long days, long nights
No sleep, all right
They want my light, but just don't see what it cost for us
Broke down, no pride
She'll be by my side
I think this might be the last time that I fall in love

[Chorus]
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you what the moral is
I've been drivin' me a forklift
So my son can have a fork to lift
Boy, I'm fresh up out the orphanage
Can't convince myself, the Lord is it
Day and nights run together now
And I forgot just where the mornin' ends
Everybody want a piece of the pie
I wouldn't steal from 'em
But I look at my son and see me in his eyes
And I feel like I'd kill for him
I'd serve a couple hundred years for him
Nah, but really I just wanna make sure when he go to bed, I've got a meal for him
And some money tucked away for real storms
That's a real story
I ain't askin' y'all to feel for me
I ain't askin' y'all to fear for me
I'm just askin' God, "If You're truly there
Daddy take the wheel and steer for me"
I know you know I'll put it six feet under if it's robbin' me
I gotta get it for my family, cause I been workin'

[Bridge]
Long days, long nights
No sleep, all right
They want my light, but just don't see what it cost for us
Broke down, no pride
She'll be by my side
I think this might be the last time that I fall in love

[Chorus]
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)

[Verse 2]
They talk about strugglin'
But they don't know nothin' bout steel-toed
The money ain't comin' in
And you get a cut of the real road
Trade my light for a dollar
So we can move out the slums
Cause you get killed for a dollar
If you live where we from
Ayy, I been on the road and my light is on empty
Do it for my home, steps outside, so don't tempt me
Presents round the tree for my kids, what I pray for
Either way it goes, I'll be grateful (Yeah)
I got enemies
I'm workin' seven nights, they won't get to me
I just talked to God
Show me what Heaven like, set my spirit free
I got uncles in the field, cousins on a pill, babies on a meal
Holy Father, do you hear me now?
Don't know how much it cost me now

[Bridge]
Long days, long nights
No sleep, all right
They want my light, but just don't see what it cost for us
Broke down, no pride
She'll be by my side
I think this might be the last time that I fall in love

[Chorus]
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
