How Long

[Intro: Marc Vinyls]
I'd rather just be real
Make music for the soul
They come up with lies
Exaggerate
A life that’s not really mine
Look (Look, look, look...)

[Chorus: Marc Vinyls]
Oh, really, how long does it take for myself to be great, now?
Oh, really, how long do you mean for the love that you bleed, now?
Oh, really, how long should you fight when the money ain't right, now?
Oh, really, how long should I think when I'm sad and I drink, now?

[Verse 1: Marc Vinyls]
Look (Look, look)
And I could tell you how I’m constantly rejected (Rejected)
But I'd rather tell you where I've been projected (Projected)
And all these people in my life, they regret shit
And I should tell you how you gotta be the best with
Lately, it's getting hectic
You would just never get it
Let me try to explain
Got too much on my brain
Got me goin' insane
When drama tend to arise
It shows me not to complain (It shows me not to complain)
Get to me? No, I really can't let it (Can't let it)
Tryna see things through a new perspective (New perspective)
Wipe the lens so I see more clear (More clear)
About really what I'm doin’ right here (Right here)

[Chorus: Marc Vinyls]
Oh, really, how long does it take for myself to be great, now?
Oh, really, how long do you mean for the love that you bleed, now?
Oh, really, how long should you fight when the money ain’t right, now?
Oh, really, how long should I think when I'm sad and I drink, now?

[Verse 2: Marc Vinyls]
Look, yeah
I wanna help them all, just listen to these facts that I’ve been spitting
Too much of my life, I'm missing
I hope you finally listen
I learned from all of my mistakes
Got way more all on my plate
For me to ever go hate
Got too much all up at stake

[Bridge: Marc Vinyls, GALLO]
Too much all at stake (Too much, yeah)
I got too much all at stake (Too much)
Go light, now
I got too much (Too much)
Yeah, I got too much at stake (Too much)

[Verse 3: GALLO]
Ask myself "Really, how long is this gon' take?"
After all this time, I struggle through the days
Still
Time move quicker than the thoughts deep in my brain
So it feels like I'm behind as soon as I’ve caught the pace
Damn
I just need a little more patience
But to be honest, by whole life, I've been waiting
I'm goin' broke, but still, my skin is not breaking
Really, it's amazing
Yeah
Another Friday goin' dumb again
Honestly, I'm done with it
Nothing good has come from it
Only goin' numb within
So I'm onto other things
Throwin' against the wall in hopes that this time, something sticks
You know
Yeah
You know the drill, babe
No time to kill, babe
Can't pay the bills late, yeah
So how long, how long?

[Interlude: Marc Vinyls]
Look (Look, look, look)

[Chorus: Marc Vinyls]
Oh, really, how long does it take for myself to be great, now?
Oh, really, how long do you mean for the love that you bleed, now?
Oh, really, how long should you fight when the money ain't right, now?
Oh, really, how long should I think when I'm sad and I drink, now?
