Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmmmm 2fly
Haters gone talk that's what they do but i don't care nah nah
Momma taught me right from wrong so i gotta go get this bread nah
And it's been so long since i felt a passion up inside
Told my momma i'm gone beat the odds swear to God i'm gone shine
Shine Blind put in some work i ain't waste no time
Looking at my bitch like man gah damn
I was thinking back like nigga i'm the man (Man with the plan, man with the plan)
When i'm on the road i'm thinking bout the bands
I don't even wanna talk i don't even wanna click tell TPD get off my d*ck (Ooooo)
It's been so long, man it's been so long
Man it's been so long, so long
Man it's been so long
I was ballin on the field thinking million dollar plays
It was to much crakas had to move to Tampa Bay
I was going through a phase man
I really wanna quit it was already hard i ain't have no scholarship
People think i need football
But i really don't they say i don't got your back but i got my own
She say Ty i don't trust you no mo girl then just don't hit my phone
Tomorrow imma make a play sum shit i ain't make today
Started off with nothing now a nigga trynna make a way
Nigga from the ave had to get this shit another way
I'm still going hard skipping school nigga day-to-day
It was dark nights thinking how to get get this paper mane trynna get a tennis chain
Trynna get a diamond ring trynna get a diamond chain trynna get a pinky ring
All these diamonds yeah diamonds on my earring
You know i'm with the same gang i don't really change lanes
Ratchet ass hoes always screaming out "gang gang"
Diss diss diss nigga that shit so lame Ty2fly nigga what's yo name
Since you bang what set you claim all my opps they all the same
They try to diss me for the fame but nigga you ain't in the frame
It's been so long, it's been so long




It's been so long nah nah nah so long
It's been so long
