They been talking 'bout me for a second
But I haven't had the best attendance
Waiting on me just to drop this record
But I haven't had the energy or pressure
Long nights, long nights, long nights
When I get this right, aye
One time, one time, one time
For my dogs on sight
Every time they held me down I rip open the door
Talking 'bout like they know who I am, but they don't
I've been, I been waiting
For this moment
When I get this right
But I been absent
Like all damn night
I been absent
All my life
I been asking
All my life
What's a lamentation
To how I live this life
When I been absent
All damn night
Yeah I been absent
I been asking
I been asking, no passion, and why I feel this way
Is this past tense or some type of sentimental mood swing
I been swerving, I'm speeding, I'm switching in and out of lanes
I been curving, this is worth it, I been lost but not today
I'm a lost soul, I never been to my homeland
I been so lost so damn long I can't even stand it
I been stuck in traffic for two hours, only travelled two damn miles
I'm like fuck this sshit, I'ma' kick it back
Scroll through reddit just to pass the time, aye
Everybody gotta' have dreams
How many do you see get stuck up in the routine
Living life just to survive and in the dark
How many have we known that finished before they start, yuh
I feel the sunlight crash on me
Everything I know and what it truly means to be
And if God was right then I waited my whole life for this moment
The power flowing in me is a bonus
I been absent
All my life
I been asking
All my life
What's a lamentation
To how I live this life
When I been absent
All damn night
Yeah I been absent
I been asking
