Long Year

[Verse 1]
I lost a lot of friends back when Dom popped
My first album, first week, swear it all flopped
Labels on my line, then the calls stopped
Interscope told me straight, I'm a long shot
Then Dad died, I almost beat him to it
And people want a star, look at me to do it
I got off the drugs
And now I sit here wondering where the fuck I was

[Chorus]
It's been a long year
Crying on the phone, something wrong here
Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong, dear"
Fuck is goin on here?
It's been a long year
Crying on the phone, something wrong here
Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong, dear"
Fuck is goin on here?

[Verse 2]
I left the love of my life just to love what I write
Just so I can look back and be proud of what I done with my life
Tell 'em double my price 'til the money is right
We done sacrificed too much to let 'em all fuck with my light
Fuck out my sight
I do this shit for a young me
So if you listening, don't you run please
'Cause even in the dark times
The kids wear crowns, everything is alright
Everything is alright
I got off the drugs
And now I sit here wondering where the fuck I was

[Chorus]
It's been a long year
Crying on the phone, something wrong here
Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong, dear"
Fuck is goin on here?
It's been a long year
Crying on the phone, something wrong here
Momma told me, "Gotta keep it strong, dear"
Fuck is goin on here?

[Outro]
Hey man, it's John
I love you, bro, miss you
New shit's fuckin' crazy, you already know
I told you, man, everything's gonna be alright
And just fuckin' look at you now
