Long Time Coming - Leela James

Ya’ll this evening

Ante up, time to let the trumpets sound

Crown me later, I’m a take my crown now

Been writing for 'bout 10 yrs now

And finally the real truth is coming out

You can’t stop it 'cause this is God’s plan

I know some of y’all just don’t understand

And now ya twisted, can’t believe it’s me

Get it, it’s Leela sho nuff

It’s been a long time since ya heard it like this

It’s been a long time since ya felt it like this

It’s been a long time since ya seen it like this

'Cause ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this

I’ve been praying for a time like this

And I’ve been waiting for a time like this

I’ve been talking 'bout a time like this

A long time coming but you get it like this

Through the rain, through the pain I’m still around

Thank God kept me on solid ground

My ship started out with many aboard

But when the

Got rough they jumped ashore

I’ve seen many many many go and come

Even watched some of y’all faking the funk

But you can’t lie, can’t fake it, it’s in your blood

Ya either got it or ya don’t

It’s been a long time since ya heard it like this

It’s been a long time since ya felt it like this

It’s been a long time since ya seen it like this

'Cause ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this

I’ve been praying for a time like this

And I’ve been waiting for a time like this

I’ve been talking 'bout a time like this

A long time coming but you get it like this

Now, talk to the DJ, I said

Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song

Keep it banging all night long

Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song

Keep it banging all night long

Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song

Keep it banging all night long

Hey, DJ won’t ya play my song

Keep it banging all night long, all night long

It’s been a long time since ya heard it like this

It’s been a long time since ya felt it like this

It’s been a long time since ya seen it like this

'Cause ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this

And I’ve been praying for a time like this

And I’ve been waiting for a time like this

I’ve been talking 'bout a time like this

A long time coming but you get it like this

Sounds like something that you’ve had before

But it ain’t really something that you’ve had before

Feels like something that you’ve felt before

But it ain’t really something that you’ve felt before

Ain’t really something that you’ve seen before

'Cause it sure ain’t something that you’ve seen before

Been a long time coming, yeah

But the time surely has come

It’s been a long time

DJ this is for you

Ain’t nobody bringing it quite like this, now

Can you feel me, yeah

Been a long time

It’s been a long time

It’s been a long time

It’s been a long time
