ODDISCEE - It Won't Be Long lyrics

[Verse 1:] So many things on my mind, it's got me looking for a place to hide How can I fly if my every vibe is suicide I try, I can't lie some nights I even cry Hoping I die Before I wake It's only by faith that I survive, so much we endure Being young black & poor detoured behind bars & what for? Just trying to seek hope through petty dope For whom the bell tolls, & it goes With my soul exposed, watching the whole globe explode Sitting writing in my book of rhymes feeling every hook & line As the worlds haste in wasting Innocent lives are being taking, It's like global gang banging Im lane changing, dipping through time travel the super natural From n***as to gods, against every odd The prodigal Has returned The wind blows ten fold hearts of men froze Hence goes to show It won't be long, just hold on [Chorus] Hold on,Be Strong,It Won't Be Long If you've wondered where I've been I've searched 2 find a love with in Through all space and time I hope 2 find A place to ease my soul and rest my mind [Verse 2:] Behind these eyes lie inside a mind wavered Tomb raiders & space invaders still inslave us Never gave us our 40 acres, made us hate us Chase there paper, slaves to wickedness in high places Playa grab hold of my hand & let me take ya Through the holocaust that holds a cost That money could'nt pay up Stay up on your caper, busy baker, getcha cake up The block emaciated still we're tryna get our weight up I came up on this long & winding road This hell we call home this America eats it's own Just check the narrative, they say we're all savages Left perishing while our city sank like battle ships So whats the matter chick? don't let it weigh you down Just know the chips you get to strip, is for the cap & gown I wish I could blast off like Nasa Heal these broken wings & take the cast off As the world moves fast as Nascar My souls frozen in motion, so hoping Jehova send Some type of sign, to reach the block Maggot brains wrapped in cellophane Through the black orifice they drop The cosmic slop, the saints of a latter day Someday we'll all be free, like Donny Hathaway say This is my rhapsody i'll let the lord have his way Open up the floodgates to heaven, so the world can sing [Chorus] Hold on,Be Strong,It Won't Be Long If you've wondered where I've been I've searched 2 find a love with in Through all space and time I hope 2 find A place to ease my soul and rest my mind
