Zi - How Long lyrics

[Chorus: Zi] Soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long I got soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long Soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long I got soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long [Verse 1: Zi] I've been working I've been working I've been working but when will it start to pay I try to stay optimistic but it's hard to say I'm in that train taking me home Watching this plane taking them far away Imagining and wishing I could take their place See time is like this chick I will never make mine And life is like my girl beautiful and tough at the same time This world will have Cupid committing a hate crime And people acting shady 'cause everybody wants to shine You're the bomb but some are keeping you from blowing up I got a good a memory but life is too short to hold a grudge When we were kids we didn't regret sh** 'cause we weren't even old enough And now I look around and all my friends' kids are growing up The mic in my hand and if you hold me down for you I'll hold it up [Chorus: Zi] Soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long I got soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long Soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long I got soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long [Verse 2: Zi] I'm like a slave without the whipping 'cause the work ain't paying I'm like a beggar to this life and future brings no change I'm like a player that keeps losing but this ain't no game I'm like Missy Elliott 'cause I can't stand the rain You see the sweat on my face Well I expect this to pay But I've been waiting I've been waiting now I'm starting to question my faith What would the Messenger say I'm just a regular man And I've been taking I've been taking now I'm starting to question my strength See is my mind strong enough for all the sh** I got on it I wonder as I show and prove how bad I want it Thanks to my soldiers making sure my vision's not lonely And even though we don't talk as much you're still my homie Was in the shower thinking how long am I supposed to go through this And then I thought maybe long enough so I won't forget [Chorus: Zi] Soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long I got soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long Soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long I got soldiers to count on and shoulders to cry on And I can sit around and wait but for how long
