Lotta Nights

Meko

Lotta nights had to wait for this
Lotta nights I stayed awake for this
Lotta nights I had to pray for this (pray, pray for this)
Lotta nights up late for it (I'm up late for this)

8am landlord get to pounding on the door Asking momma where the rent at
I looked Laurie in her eyes told her
"This ain't forever I'll get us together"
And she knows I meant that, ay
Went from notebooks to writing in my iPhone
There and the stu is where I vent at
I've been ducked off battling my demons
Everybody keep asking me like where the fuck I been at
I ain't perfect but I'm working on a better me
Trying to be the best I can
Smile on my face to hide how stressed I am Depressed I am
Got up and I left my fam OT
And everybody telling me how blessed I am
But they couldn't walk a mile in these shoes dog
I made promises that I can't break
I told Ant "we can't lose dawg"

Lotta nights had to wait for this
Lotta nights I stayed awake for this
Lotta nights I had to pray for this (pray, pray for this)
Lotta nights up late for it (I'm up late for this)

I remember I couldn't really afford it
We was recording all night
Trapping outta Gotti crib
Sleeping on the floors at my momma crib
Even when it's negative I stayed positive
Kept pushing through and never changed
Spoke it into existence I need everything
Out of the mud the people I love need better things
And I remember buying my old bitch a wedding ring
Told her I'm go get on for ya
Yea I'm a bring it home for ya
I've been doing all of these shows for ya
Baby I'm a bring it home for ya
But I realized I'm selfish
Girl I got problems and no I can't help it
You wanted attention I put you in second
I learned my lesson this life is so hectic
And I've been the road
Spent half a summer in LA to just to grow
Sunshine to offset all the shade that they throw
We ain't made the same and you can see it live at the shows, yea
Come alive in the night time
When them lights shine I feel like I'm Jimi Hendrix
Yea they throwing shots but we ain't get the message
When I tell you "I'm the goat" just know I really meant it
Yea Be you, be you yea
Lil nigga be you
Get in your own lane and you can speed thru
Stop hitting these people and see if they need you, yea
They don't see how hard I go
They don't see the long nights, no
They just see the positives and smiles
Can't remember the last time someone asked if I was alright

Lotta nights had to wait for this
Lotta nights I stayed awake for this
Lotta nights I had to pray for this (pray, pray for this)
Lotta nights up late for it (I'm up late for this)

I remember all the days and nights
I remember all the days and nights yea
And I grind so hard for it
Yea I grind so hard for it
I give it all that I got
I give my all for it
I ain't clocked in since may but I've been working
No it ain't perfect but I gotta make pay
I ain't really got no more bosses
Yea I'm just tryna make a way
I know my brothers is watching
And I can't let em down no
I can't let em down no
I can't let em down no
Down no
Long nights
Long nights
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Long, long nights
Long, long nights

Lotta nights had to wait for this
Lotta nights I stayed awake for this
Lotta nights I had to pray for this (pray, pray for this)
Lotta nights up late for it (I'm up late for this)
