How Long

[Verse One] I question myself yo' Flame why are you tryin' To live without the Lion of Judah inside you are dyin' Not communin' with the God of Mount Zion Can't you see you're denyin' The very God they can't break down to a science I know you're young and you see some things that you think you are missin' Man you trippin' you're missin' nothin' get back on your mission You followed the flesh next you would wallow in mess Don't let thinkin' bout sex throw you back like a you're Mitchell and Ness Don't get weary in your well-doin' You were doin' well until you let your well ruin and run dry Tryin' to fulfill them selfish ambitions Making sinful decisions without repentance leaves only contention Don't forget you're a professin' Christian Them lyrics you've written- They don't mean nothin' unless they match your livin' No one ever received elevation Dibblin' And dabblin' and rappin' with procrastination [Chorus] How long has it been since we've communicated Oh Lord I'm tired of sin it keeps me humiliated So much sin in the world we in and I've been regenerated Oh Lord I need Jesus, Jesus, Jesus oh, how long has it been? [Verse Two] I haven't been girded with the full armor I've deserted your Word it turned to nervousness and then full drama It's better for me to have never known Than to know the truth and turn back to what is wrong That's like spewin' from my own stomach Then turnin' around and eatin' my own vomit When I've been made clean and I don't mean Comet Lord break me abase me make me face holiness Shake me shape me make me face loneliness Redeem me rescue this vessel press through So much just to get next to you it's stressful It helps to confess my test it's just to bless you Disconnected I need to connect to you Where can I go to escape from your presence You're omnipresent you're present in hell and present in heaven Plus I'm weary and wounded, my theory's consumed in Iniquity's union my history is sick with influence [Chorus] How long has it been since we've communicated Oh Lord I'm tired of sin it keeps me humiliated So much sin in the world we in and I've been regenerated Oh Lord I need Jesus, Jesus, Jesus oh, how long has it been? [Verse Three] Lord let these broken bones rejoice in a song Givin' you glory until I get home Never takin' my freedom and overthrow your authority on the throne Livin' it holy until I get home Desperate measures will I take from now on To stay away from what I'm knowin' is wrong Selfcontrol because my suffering is long No more will I ignore the fact that it's on Prayin' until you come back for your own I'm fearfully and I'm wonderfully made Elected and affected by your irresistible grace And Lord that means something Take my heart and then clean something Make me mature and help me endure please Deliver me from the guilt and the filth, find me on my knees Knelt down about to put my face to the ground When I start renewin' my mind it'll lessen the times I have to sing [Chorus - 2X]
