MoCity Jones - Won't Be Long Lyrics

When I was eight years old my daddy bought me a piano
I hoped up on that wax on fire I'm a candle
Tinkering with toys I would find them then dismantle
My momma used to tell me they ain't nothing I can't handle
So I reached for the stars yea u dare to dream
Confronting all my fears and I'm trying not to scream
I went and hit the books and my mind as a weapon
One foot in front of the other yes you best to get the stepping we ain't playing
In a way it's all a game though
Different point of views analyze every angle
Used to be so hopeful never been a quitter
Now I'm getting older I think I'm getting bitter
Why people hate that's a mystery to me but in a world full of lollipops I'm staying sucker free
What the world really needs is new glasses
Check my point of view you can see through the fabric
Suddenly I woke up this morn
Wanted to be better rather then float on
Wanted to change and rearrange the Whole song
Gotta get the world ready cuz it won't be Long
Suddenly I woke up this morn
Wanted to be better rather then float on
Wanted to change and rearrange the Whole song
Gotta get the world ready get the world ready
When I was twelve years old I started writing poetry
Bored in class jotting thoughts building up my flow u see
From then hip hop was always in my denim
In my jeans and to my new born I'm a send em
I hope you play with ya cousin only a year apart
I think of y'all and all my writing comes from the heart
I hope your weird I hope you strange I hope you not like me
I hope you better we don't need Two of me I hope you keep your innocence long enough to see
That this world ain't such a bad place to be
And with you in it promise I legit happy
Promise to show you how to Navi thru this world crazy
But obstacles are in construction when u think of the destruction
In the world and how we love it
Wonder if we'll rise above it
You start to think if it's right to bring a child in this madness
But kids will change where we live but not the address
Suddenly I woke up this morn
Wanted to be better rather then float on
Wanted to change and rearrange the Whole song
Gotta get the world ready cuz it won't be Long
Suddenly I woke up this morn
Wanted to be better rather then float on
Wanted to change and rearrange the Whole song
Gotta get the world ready get the world ready
When I was 16 started recording making beats
Had streets goin crazy with the cyphers in the d
I be off the chain like a broken key
And from that 90s movie sandlot off the chain like Hercules
Now let it breath better back up because space I need
Short term goals and I exceed
On to the next yes I believe
I know
Hard to tell I used to be
The shy guy or Luigi
Like one day Mario I'll be
Let's a go
LEGO I'm tryna build something
Put ur ear to street dtown we still bumping
Woke up with my eyes open not my head thumping
Haters always gassing me up I think they fake pumping
Never take the shot take a deuce or get off the pot
Makin moves and you cannot stop
Pick and choose are u down or not
Birds of a feather flock overheads and on top they plop
Still I'm Always repping the block went to sleep then I had a thought
Suddenly I woke up this morn
Wanted to be better rather then float on
Wanted to change and rearrange the Whole song
Gotta get the world ready cuz it won't be Long
Suddenly I woke up this morn
Wanted to be better rather then float on
Wanted to change and rearrange the Whole song
Gotta get the world ready get the world ready
