Long Time Coming - Leela James
Ya'll mind,
I'd like to talk to ya'll this evening
Ante up,
time to let the trumpets sound
Crown me later,
I'ma take my crown now
Been writing for 'bout 10 yrs now
And finally the real truth is coming out
You can't stop it
'cause this is God's plan
I know some of y'all
just don't understand
And now ya twisted,
can't believe it's me
Get it, it's Leela sho nuff
It's been a long time
since ya heard it like this
It's been a long time
since ya felt it like this
It's been a long time
since ya seen it like this
'Cause ain't nobody bringing it
quite like this
I've been praying for a time like this
And I've been waiting for a time like this
I've been talking 'bout a time like this
A long time coming
but you get it like this
Through the rain,
through the pain I'm still around
Thank God kept me on solid ground
My ship started out with many aboard
got rough they jumped ashore
I've seen many many many go and come
Even watched some of y'all
faking the funk
But you can't lie, can't fake it,
it's in your blood
Ya either got it or ya don't
It's been a long time
since ya heard it like this
It's been a long time
since ya felt it like this
It's been a long time
since ya seen it like this
'Cause ain't nobody bringing it
quite like this
I've been praying for a time like this
And I've been waiting
for a time like this
I've been talking 'bout a time like this
A long time coming
but you get it like this
Now, talk to the DJ, I said
Hey, DJ won't ya play my song
Keep it banging all night long
Hey, DJ won't ya play my song
Keep it banging all night long
Hey, DJ won't ya play my song
Keep it banging all night long
Hey, DJ won't ya play my song
Keep it banging all night long,
all night long
It's been a long time
since ya heard it like this
It's been a long time
since ya felt it like this
It's been a long time
since ya seen it like this
'Cause ain't nobody bringing it
quite like this
And I've been praying
for a time like this
And I've been waiting
for a time like this
I've been talking 'bout a time like this
A long time coming
but you get it like this
Sounds like something
that you've had before
But it ain't really something
that you've had before
Feels like something
that you've felt before
But it ain't really something
that you've felt before
Ain't really something
that you've seen before
'Cause it sure ain't something
that you've seen before
Been a long time coming, yeah
But the time surely has come
It's been a long time
DJ this is for you
Ain't nobody bringing it
quite like this, now
Can you feel me, yeah
Been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Long Time Coming
