[Verse 1] Last year around this time we was waking up in the apartment Convos about condos on a lakefront with our blunts rolled And we knew that we would make it, spoke it like a language 20 bills, no record deal, and this sh** already famous I had to get up and get it, ain't took a break in a minute Too busy making a profit, b**hes ain't even a topic Can't count how many times they overlooked me If only they knew what it took me [Chorus] Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up [Verse 2] I remember when they doubt me, couldn't see me on the list Now I go to any city club when only paying for the trip Spending weeks at the sophie, spent a lot up on a rollie It's feeling like my time, it's feeling like my time Hate on your life when it's good, Squeak in the back with a wood Money been goin' around, ain't no more holdin' me down No, no, no, no—oooo [Chorus] Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up [Verse 3] I had to get up and get it, ain't took a break in a minute Too busy making a profit, b**hes ain't even a topic
So please don't act like you know me If only you knew what it took me [Ad-Libs] You can never understand Till you walked in my shoes you won't never understand You know [Verse 4] Long talks on my flight home and I'm thinkin' 'how can I make it back?' Harlems all on my shoulders now and my n***as sayin' I'm too relaxed Mama trippin', my daddy vision been goin' blind and I'm so behind I just met up with another n***a cause another woman ran off with mine Still going through a lot, still tryna get it right Still thinkin' for whatever reason 'how did I get set up with this life?' Tell the bookie 'how we lookin'?', couple commas, that's a go Dedication, being patient, something they could never know [Ad-Libs] I'm not even doing it for the credit I'm doing it for the family now You gotta eat R&B to the motherf**in' streets (Go,) I'm wid it [Chorus] Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up Count it up, count it up
