Ab-Soul - Long Term 2 Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
You mighta caught me walkin on annalee
On my way to work, I ain't no jerk, you can wave at me
Faithfully I strafe from all the make-believe, pray for me
This the shit they make-up make me think maybe it's maybelline
They will not disable me, even Kane afraid of me
Now niggas wanna network like A&E
City on my back like a superman cape would be
Ab-soul, asshole, why you act an ass for?
You ain't even got your own pad you a tadpole
It's a future ahead of you, why you looking back though
Frontin like you in the front when you in the last row
Microphone check 1, 2 are you hearin this
Curtiss king will tell you I'm a lyricist, lyricist
Been a trip before I caught a flight, alright?
Why you think I'm always smiling, I'm nice
Rapper's delight, that titles suffice
I don't even think you existed but my idol is christ
I too have a passion for what I feel is right
That's why I get high as a Wright brother and write

[Hook:]
Cause I just need'em to remember me
Before I'm dead and gone write my name in history
Mentally, I'm meant to be, infinite, energy
Martin Luther King of carson, peace to my enemies
And cause this is Long Term 2
And every one of my dreams will all come true
This a journey we all go through
And if you can't cut it then it's all on you

[Verse 2:]
I had to be about two
All I remember was Charlie Brown and Dr. Seuss
Momma read me a bed-time story every night
Comprehended so well I thought it was all true
That's all truth, 20 years later
I became a wordsmith like a kid from will and jada
Took a fifth of henny to the head and thought ahead
Why they worrying bout my buzz, I ain't a insect
What the fuck, ya'll got me fucked up
(What the fuck, ya'll got me fucked up)
Don't get a nigga mis-conscrewed
Cause I get loaded like a brand new pistol, ahhh shoot
Long as you knew that I'm on the pursuit
Of greatness 'til I lay in a tomb, I'm raiding
The game is weak, knowing it's painful and not short
However long it take just know I'm not going

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]
(Heaven ain't far Soul)
Yea, I swear to God I wrote this on annalee
On my way to work, I'm late, I know my momma mad at me
(PEACE) to all the homies formerly know as casualties
Prosect, I miss you man I do this shit for you
I revise my timelines see how I do
2000 I was cool, '01 I had fun
'02 I recorded my first song and I was sprung
'03 I was weak, '04 I had flow
'05 I signed a street beef with no dough
'06 I met punchline, Damn I thank punchline
He saw more in my music than metaphors and punchline
'07 DudeDawg told me I was family
In '08 you became a fan of me
'09 I went around the country in a rock band
Now it's twenty-ten ya'll, get a catscan dawg

[Hook]

Ab-Soul Long Term 2 Comments
  1. S.... R....

    damn he sounds so happy

  2. S.... R....

    Whoa he also makes human music

  3. G.... ....

    Why can’t I find this on iTunes :(

  4. a.... n....

    The instrumental is heat.

  5. D.... K....

    I need this fucking album on Spotify

  6. S.... A....

    68k views? I'm heartbroken.

  7. L.... R....

    Still A Regular in 2019

  8. S.... W....

    I must admit, I much prefer this ab-soul, who just talks about his life rather than conscious stuff, this album is so much more relatable on a human level, also he sounds alot happier on this album, and has a great sense of humour :D

  9. y.... ....

    2019 im here

  10. J.... ....

    Ab-Soul is a modern Rockstar. A classic tale of a young talent destroyed by the excessive use of drugs in an industry of satanistic spiritualism and consumer (Beast) orientated lifestyle. seemingly already fragile on this song. the success of his label and expectation/pressure that came with it, as well as the loss of someone close to him, made him a fragment of who he used to be.
    This is one of the fears of mine and many more younger people with anxiety, panic attacks, depression etc: To wonder how long one can stay composed before they break apart from what could become future disappointments

  11. �.... G....

    Profesionáli

  12. k.... ....

    I’m on my regular ishhh

  13. K.... J....

    I'm gonna be here every year

  14. R.... R....

    that beat is a true masterpiece

  15. S.... P....

    This is hands down my favorite mixtape from Ab. His new shits good too don't get me wrong, but LT2 front to back has reached me in such a personal way. Truly profound.

    S.... P....

    I feel ya homie. Soul has touched me on a personal level and I dunno where I would be today with his music.

  16. L.... X....

    2018 I’m here

    L.... X....

    LAUGH XM FACTS

  17. p.... h....

    I ain't changed for shit
    still walking round with a pocket full of motherfucking change and shit

  18. M.... B....

    control system is the best

    M.... B....

    Mohamed Bajaber and the DWTW came along

    M.... B....

    Mohamed Bajaber it was until DWTW

    M.... B....

    You really can't say DWTW is Soul's best album. It's a complete parody of anything considered deep

    M.... B....

    Bruh you got no credit your name Mohamed

    M.... B....

    DWTW didn't age all that well IMO

  19. K.... ....

    yo this be hella as the center of earth

  20. 2.... D....

    Long Term and Long Term 2 are his best albums/mixtape PERIOD!!

    2.... D....

    1) Control System
    2) Longterm 2
    3) Longterm Mentality
    4) These Days

    2.... D....

    @Powderkeg Yea, These Days should be last. That album was very disappointing

    2.... D....

    Far from disappointing in my eyes, just not ur typical ab-soul album. But I would certainly put it last on this list. Still some really good songs and lyrics, but its not the sound I'm looking for.

    2.... D....

    @Brendan Smith Yea, on These Days the only songs I liked were Ride Slow, Kendrick Lamar's Interlude, Just have Fun, and Feeling Us

    2.... D....

    DABADSHAZAM Dub Sac, World Runners, Tree of Life were dope too

  21. k.... ....

    Wow this is actually really nice!

  22. m.... ....

    Dang this is better than his new shit....

    m.... ....

    Yeah this, Turn Me Up, Illuminate, need more like that!

  23. K.... G....

    YO AB SOUL you need to get out my head man your too sick, (213) (323) my nigga keep g
    rowin 

  24. N.... R....

    That one dislike must be from a rich white boy. Shits too real for him

  25. D.... D....

    nah fuck THAT...everything Soulo make is BANGIN

  26. S.... F....

    Simon Haseley Hammerhead 1972

    S.... F....

    SIR FATE Yes that's the track that was sampled

  27. C.... ....

    Its cause they about to blow up. Everyone like oh snap kendrick is good we should check out his whole crew. Not knowing that soul Schoolboy,J rock been killing for a while

  28. G.... ....

    3 years later.. ya'll finally catching up

  29. A.... ....

    I knew this was wax sample. That shit is dope to. Props to absoul did the beat well, keep it up

    A.... ....

    Wax seems to have sampled Hammerhead by Simon Haseley tho, just like this (indirectly did by "sampling" We Took Vegas by Deadly Avenger). And he certainly did the beat well!

  30. C.... V....

    damn shits dope. he needs to make shit like this more often

  31. T.... G....

    Yo go listen to Wax old ways if you havent heard it, same sample, good ass, real ass song and my name doesnt lie i love ab so we have similar taste.

  32. A.... ....

    MY DUDE!!! Ahhh <3

  33. L.... C....

    This is a clever song. The beat and topic are complete opposites. It's like a uplifting happy beat but hes spitting about being hella poor lol

  34. _.... ....

    these beats stay so cakey oh my lawd

  35. T.... ....

    just doing homework bumping some tde!!!! shit stays subbing

  36. T.... I....

    Women like me sample

  37. I.... ....
