Long Time

She was a hot blooded women, he never saw it comin
 She hit him from the side that's blind
 She never gave a warning, he woke up in the mornin
 layin there next to his pride
 He got a little crazy when she had a little baby
 cause it filled him with a fatherly pride
 But a couple years later when their love started fadin
 he hurt so bad he nearly died
 It's been a long time, since I was faithful
 It's been a long time, since I was grateful
 It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
 It's been a long time, since I was grateful
 She's a mother with a daughter, sittin by the water
 cause it's better for her baby to breathe
 She got a man that's in prison cause he didn't wanna listen
 Now he's sittin waitin on a reprieve
 And she loves her lil' baby but she get a lil' crazy
 cause it's harder than she ever conceived
 He left her on her own, but she's doin it alone
 cause she loves him like he wouldn't believe

 He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother
 ♪
 He's always been a prodigal son
 He gets a lot of drama when he go to see his momma
 cause he curses like a son of a gun
 He's beggin to his lady, let him see his baby
 He swears that she's the only one
 He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's livin for tomorrow
 and he's sorry for the damage he's done
