Overall Meaning

The song "Long Time" by Tanto Metro is a rousing reggae-infused ode to a woman who stands out among the rest. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer has not seen a woman like her in a long time, that she looks fine, and her body and face combine to blow his mind. He's only seen women like her in his dreams or in fashion magazines, and many other men are looking at her when she's on the scene.

The first verse describes the reactions of various men to the sight of the woman in question. Even the older ones without teeth are blown away by her beauty, and the singer is entranced with the way she walks and moves. It's unclear if the singer is in a relationship with the woman, but he definitely wants to be. Maybe she's a celebrity or a model, but he sees her as a lead, someone with ambition who won't be distracted by other men.

The second verse reinforces the idea that the woman is a force to be reckoned with. She tops the charts like a hit tune, and the singer trusts her completely. He thinks she'll lead them to success, and he's very interested in getting her body. He admires that she's not someone who bounces around from man to man, and he wants to be part of her plan.

All in all, "Long Time" is a celebration of women who stand out from the crowd, who have both beauty and substance. The lyrics are straightforward and exuberant, with a clear message that men are entranced by such women.
