Long Time Gone

[Intro] Johnny, Johnny, I'm thinking 'bout you now And it's Johnny, Johnny, I'm thinking 'bout you now It seems as though I've known you for a long long time... [Verse 1] (Been such a long time gone) That I had come back just to flip through old memories Asking folks that I know if they remember me They like, "Nah, not really, B..." Got me rolling up sticky leaves In the park, where I used to play Little League I even fucked by the courts on Christmas Eve Niggas used to just huddle up and kick a free' I miss the breeze more than anything; That old feeling of flying through the sky On a natural high, zoning out rhyming Sun started shining, eyes start drying Mouth got crusty, thinking "what was we?" We was Gods... or damn near invincible Free as stars, livin' life with no principles Just students being taught through experience Lost in experiments of life... And it's been such a long time... [Hook] (Been such a long time gone I often try to remember...) [Verse 2] (Been such a long time gone) That I forget how real this shit gets, it's ill Some kids got killed in the past, and it was hard to get passed But eventually frowns became laughs I down a mean glass of Hennessy Channeling memories, just to escape shit that's killin' me I got a bad tendency to swallow yak and roll sacks Just so I can scroll back time, simple me Remember we was tripping off of Mr. T's gold chain Wishing we was old enough to hold things? Like drank and dank Pornos and cigarettes Now all a kid needs is the internet I been feeling like I've been a vet rhyming Still trying to get a check, grinding Everything we dreamed about then is too hard to find But it's still there stuck in the mind Just remember the times [Hook]
