Too Many Years
Kodak Black Lyrics

I done gave the jails too many years
I have spent too many years in jail

Years that I won't get back
Those years are gone forever

And I swear I done shed too many tears
I have cried too much for lost friends

For niggas that I won't get back
For people whom I won't see again

Yeah I got niggas in the graveyard
I have friends who are buried in the cemetery

Niggas in the state yards
Also friends who are still in prison

I swear not a day goes by
Every day, without fail

That I don't think about the times
When I don't remember the past

I wish that I could rewind
I wish I could go back in time and change things

I told my mama we gon' be fine
I reassured my mother that we will be okay

So I'm up all night way after sleep time
I stay up late at night

I'm just thinkin' 'bout Lil Kuda
I am thinking about my friend Lil Kuda

Gave my dog a dime
I gave Lil Kuda money

He put a buckshot in a nigga's behind
He used a gun to shoot someone

No daddy so I grew up to the street life
I grew up without a father and became involved in street life

But my son, I'ma keep him the beehive
I will protect my son from that life

Scheming on a heist, I need to change my life
I want to change my life and stop thinking about illegal activities

Been geekin' all night, I'm going senile
I have been using drugs all night and feel crazy

With two niggas toting three .45's
Two of my friends are carrying guns

I seen a nigga play gangsta, then he broke down
I have observed someone acting tough, then crying

Lost a lot, lost his mind in the courthouse
He lost everything and went crazy after being in court

I'm on XXL, I'm in New York now
I am now famous and in New York

I keep thinkin' 'bout my niggas
I frequently think about my friends

I think I need a jigga
I need someone who can help me financially

Why we keep on falling victim
Why do we keep getting into trouble?

Lost up in the system
Caught up in the justice system

Miss my brothers and my sisters
I miss my siblings and friends

Damn I miss my lil' one
I really miss my young friend

I know sometimes I be tripping
I know that I can be irrational at times

But I just miss my niggas
I just really miss my friends

I got codeine in my liver
I have been using codeine and it has affected my health

I gave the judge a piece of me
The judge took a lot from me

I'm too street for the industry
I am too involved in street life to be part of the music industry

But I think that's where I need to be
I still feel that being part of the industry is important to me

Cause verbally, mentally, and physically I keep that heat
I am good with my words and ready to fight if necessary

Me and my brother fit in
My brother and I get along well

We smoking one with PnB
We are smoking marijuana with PnB

Niggas say they fuck with me
People claim to be my friends

But lowkey they be easin' me
They are secretly betraying me

You bitches don't mean shit to me
I don't care about these women

People tryna sentence me
I am being accused of crimes

How a youngin' posted on the street, gon' call it Sesame
How can someone post their location on the street and expect it to be safe?

One K 'til the death of me, don't put your life in jeopardy
I will continue to carry a gun and not put others in danger
