Long Shifts

Workin' from the heart, you know the hours gettin' long Don't make me sing it from the start, I know these girls tryna take my soul I know you see your phone, keep ringin Why don't you ever answer when I need it I know you see your phone, keep ringin Why don't you answer, I know you can see it They always talk about the way a nigga live But man, I miss my brother, so I wish that you was here I'm goin' through my thoughts, I'm all alone with no escape But they keep on tryna tell me that I'm gettin' through that gate I got so much pain, and it's deep inside Why does everything they tell me have to be a fuckin' lie You say you love me, don't believe it, girl, you gotta show me how Got a home, I got a house, and now I'm slowly movin' out When I get into my feelings, I be cryin' in the session Like, why I lose so much, or could it really be a blessing I kept on askin' why, and now I really regret it I see them laughin' at my pain on Instagram, yeah, I read it But it ain't about the pain, though I lost a couple niggas, now they up in heaven wearin' halos And they ask me where the pain goes I just put it in my songs, I write these pain floats Workin' from the heart, you know the hours gettin' long Don't make me sing it from the start I know these girls tryna take my soul I know you see your phone, keep ringin Why don't you ever answer when I need it I know you see your phone, keep ringin Why don't you answer? I know you can see it They say that one time ain't good enough, so I'm back to ball I'm still gon' rap my feelings, cause I ain't got nothin' to prove to y'all I'm steady dreamin, steady thinkin' bout the life I coulda had And they say that all the pain comes from the absence of my dad I ain't sleepin' cause I'm thinkin' about runnin' up These rappers doin' all this flexin' just to numb it up The pain we feel is deep inside our heart, we don't admit it It's sad I lost my cousin, man, you left your three children And it's been hurtin' my heart, my heart, my heart Everybody tell me, open up, where do I start I don't get thrills no more for this old lifestyle that I live I got so much inside my heart, but I can't let you in I can't let you in I can't let you in I can't let you in I can't let you in Workin' from the heart, you know the hours gettin' long Don't make me sing it from the start I know these girls tryna take my soul I know you see your phone, keep ringin Why don't you ever answer when I need it I know you see your phone, keep ringin Why don't you answer? I know you can see it
