It's been a long time coming
A lil too soon, let's do it one more time
Just like me

It's been a long time coming
I done moved away from my family
Away from my friends
Away from my problems and my familiar pleasures
I done loved and lost
I found out how well I can know someone
And how little I know of myself
I done drank all my liquor and wasted time away
I found out what I'm good at
And what I'm lacking

Not a whole fucking lot

I done took account of all my history and wrote it down
Tried unraveling the reasons why I want this token crown
Why I think that your perception is value and somehow
It adds some quality that otherwise I couldn't live without
Like you're the reason for my being, for my breathing, for my smile
In reality my being here is why you still around
I'm the source, I'm the key, The bar before the keep
I'm the courage that you're looking for
The pick-me-up you need
I'm your strength, I'm your rock you need in a hard place
Al-Capone in a world when you need you a scarface
All yours if you with me, all mine if you ain't
All my cards on the table, all my chips in play
I got hard in the paint, I'm the post man
I don't need to boast my repertoire is finna play coast to coast man

I'm the one you're looking for
I've been gone some time again
But I'm here to clear your worries
Spread the gospel to your friends
Ain't no reason for your sorrows
Clear the rivers from your skin
'Cause now I'm back
And I won't be gone again

As a precursor for you and a rehearsal for me
I got some things I'm gonna harp on 'til my story is complete
That loyalty is special but for sure it isn't free
You gotta earn it and then keep it, it's a life subscription fee
They get comfy, try to push you down like you was Humpty
And tell you that they love you when they show you some receipts
Know the right things to say to get something
But now I'm not the place for you to wipe your muddy feet
Not that boy that you knew in school from OTP
I done grown up and sho' nuff they like what they see
Used to laugh about my rhyming now recite what I preach
It's for my hometown; a town that wasn't for me
I done moved on and got my groove on
Kuzco and Mulan
The emperor, my temperature is always got my shoes on
Even when I'm cooking up my food raw
Ice in my veins I was made to stay cool calm
Collected

I'm the one you're looking for
I've been gone some time again
But I'm here to clear your worries
Spread the gospel to your friends
Ain't no reason for your sorrows
Clear the rivers from your skin
'Cause now I'm back
And I won't be gone again

I'm the Rayrest motherfucker that you'll meet
I been truant so long y'all thought I died
And tried to take my degree
But now I'm back from hibernation
My hiatus at a cease
My sabbatical was practical
I need a reprieve
I switch lanes made an exit to escape the police
The most wanted man alive for how I murder these beats
They can't catch me, I'm too slick, oil the streets
Pop a quarter in the Mach-5
Defy what you think
About what's possible and who I be
From nobody, to this disembodied voice
By which I speak
In ways you can't imagine from ways I seem
When I say "Hello" when we cross the street
I ain't gotta be a Gemini, I'm a gem and I have many facets
How you interact determines how I shine
If you wanted something valuable then treat me like a diamond
If you mining, then some coal is all you'll find
Me, myself and I go sapphires and brimstone
Baby if you want it come and get some
It's been hot up in this kitchen whipping sauce up with my wisdom
Baby if you want it come and get some
I got recipes for those that want the best of me
Just follow the instructions as I wrote 'em and stop testing me
We barely just begun and already you out here sweating me
And stressing me, and stretching me thin for some attention
Acting desperately

Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Aw shit
Welcome to the EP
Wipe your shoes before you come in here
Turn off your fucking phones

I'm the one you're looking for
I've been gone some time again
But I'm here to clear your worries
Spread the gospel to your friends
Ain't no reason for your sorrows
Clear the rivers from your skin
'Cause now I'm back
And I won't be gone again

It's been a long time
Just like me
