Away Too Long
[Intro]
That's right, baby
I got a-- I ain't lie
I got a lot of good shit to tell you all
Ladies and gentlemen
This is the anthology
The anthology

We gon' talk about some things... we all can relate to
In the motherfuckin' house
What's up? What's up, n***a?
You got live motherfuckers in the house. No doubt
Holding it down for my homie

[Verse 1: Oh No]
It's been way so long, too long, I fold 'em like a futon
Great poupon stains with the bullet while they cruise on
Your whole shit is coupons with the croutons
Break lettuce on, n***a, move on
Your whole song is tap water, lukewarm
They wasn't using their brains, they smoked their Neutrons
Make way for the new don
I feel as if I'm a king, a promoter with the iron hitting like two bombs (Mike Tyson)
I'm sick smoking trees in the Evolu ONE
Now here's to evolution
They wanna know what my crew's on
Murder you, find that new zone where they do wrong
I swear that the game is looking like newborns
It's been too long, yeah
[Chorus]
Since you've been away so long
Since you've been away so long

[Verse 2: The Alchemist]
(Hold it down for my homie)
Fresh off the culdesac
I'm rhymin' wild designs like the cobra's back
Money comin' out my jeans, impossible to fold a stack (impossible)
Military MAC-10 hang from the shoulder strap
From underneath the Pelle trench, to no delayin'
I get to sprayin', leave the belly drenched
Pardon my French, but if a bitch ain't fuckin' she play the bench
I'm on some Dynamite Willie shit, one finger Philly split
Invasion double gang affiliate
Don't get it confused and twist it
So West my vocal booth view the Pacific
Paid every dude who's listed
Time keeps slippin', don't mind me slippin'
Irie spliff when I'm diary scriptin' in the 5G dippin'
All of you monkey shines we liftin', mind your business

[Chorus]
Since you've been away so long
Since you've been away so long
Since you've been away so long
Since you've been away so long
Since you've been away so long
Since you've been away so long
[Outro]
