I've been looking for a long time
I got a lot on my mind
A lot on my plate
This life is wild
But i won’t complain
Cus’ you keep me sane
And help with the pain
Its so not in vain
Got a kingdom to gain
No i won’t let you go
I'll fight until my last breath
Yeah just to show
When things are moving slow
I aint worry boutta thing
Cus’ i know everything

Looking for you
Looking for a long time
I've been looking for a long time
I was chasing the women
Didn’t know i was trippin'
Never wanted to listen
But my dad had a vision
To get rid of the demons
That had me up in a prison
And sent me on a mission
To reveal what’s been hidden
No i won’t let you go
I'll fight until my last breath
Yeah just to show
When things are moving slow
I ain't worry boutta thing
Cus’ i know everything
You got that in control
Ive been looking for you
He tryna take me from you
But i know only you
Have the power to do
Anything you want to
Never running from you
Didn’t know i need you
Not until i found you
Looking for you
Looking for a long time
