Long Gone by Tambouly Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2014

[Hook: Tambouly]
I'm just stuck here in a dream
I'm gon' stay down, down
Bound at the bottom of the sea
Long gone

[Verse 1: T-Skillz]
I will never shake if they put me in the lion's den
I'm serious, I can cause havoc with a fucking pen
Dumbest lyric I'll freestyle, realest lyrics you gon write
Telling me I ain't gon blow, you ain't got the fucking right
I hustle swift and that's a gift, I ain't got no 9 to 5
Or a fucking night shift so I hustle day and night
So I'm in the studio, grinding for another day
Spare change like umbrella so I save em for a rainy day
Used to want a school award, now I want a Grammy now
Tambouly the Egyptian, so I roll with pharaohs now
I'm looking for this pound cake, ladies cop the Mary Kay
No squares in my circle G, I'm all about my round cake
Skillz on the mic, this music thing is destiny
This is just a preview, you ain't seen the best of me
Them lots are too tired, but me, I'm strong
So I'm out here to prove y'all wrong
It's long gone, Skillz
[Hook: Tambouly]

[Verse 2: T-Skillz]
I'm dream chasing, rest in peace to Lil' Snupe
They just wanna take your life when you're living good
I'm tryna get out of this leash, they said practice what you preach
If practice makes perfect then, is that why bishops are rich?
It ain't about the money, gold, cars or fame
We just tryna make a change in this music game
It's easy going down but it's harder coming up
Take a walk down the staircase, then walk back up
We sippin' Ace of Spades in a diamond cup
And we holding the double jacks in the suit of clubs
This music thing's a gamble and we try to beat the Joker
(Beat him at his own game and the game is poker)
You can never ball like me though, no Egyptian baller
If they weighed our bars with height, I still stand taller
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
You'll end up like Xavier tryna read my mind
I'm gone

[Hook: Tambouly + (T-Skillz)]
(Long gone)
I'm just stuck here in a dream
(I'm dream chasin', I'm dream chasin')
I'm gon' stay down, down (down)
Bound at the bottom of the sea (the bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea)
Long gone
[Bridge: Tambouly]
I don't sleep at night, don't even daydream
It's ironic how I'm still chasing my dreams
Success comes in oh so many different ways
I don't know what tomorrow's gonna have for me today
Don't sleep at night, don't even daydream
Its ironic how I'm still chasing my dreams
I don't even know what I'm doing wrong
Now I'm screaming long gone

[Hook: Tambouly + (T-Skillz) x2]
