[Verse 1: Abstract]
They told me I couldn't go do it
Music losin', move it to the true shit
HipHopHeads not cruisin' the new shit
Need change and I hope that I can do this
Throne's open, hopin' I could rule this
Door's open, close it, let's do this
We're the same, we the best
Friends is still callin' me foolish
Tryna make my way to Heaven livin' life just like a star
Know exactly where I'm headed after life, that's to the dark
So I'm tryna live it up, be what's up while I can
'Cause when I'm knockin' on them pearly gates know God won't let me in
But there's so many rappers in the world
Damn, it's so hard to be heard
And we all speak the same language
It's just how we choose our words
We all racin' to the finish with this dream and hope, but first
Tryna make a fanbase that's so loud, let it rise above the crowd
Till we're callin' all the haters, yelling, "Can you hear us now?"
Tell the labels that had slept on us, say that they get it now
'Cause it's all about the hard work, no luck in it, number seven
We work too hard to be given less lettuce into our heaven

[Chorus: Bruno Mars & Hendersin]
'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven (yeah)
(For so) For too long (Abstract, what up man?), for too long (Hendersin)
[Verse 2: Hendersin]
Uh, yeah, I feel good (feel good)
Yeah, I feel great (feel great)
Yeah, it's my time (my time)
That's why they still late (yeah)
You thought that you could pull me over, no red and blues
Thought that you could walk on me, well you better get some better shoes (yeah)
Because you're dead wrong (dead wrong)
Helmet hair head strong (head strong)
And they say I'm sick, bitch, Hendersin, my meds gone (yeah)
And I remember when they told me not to try (not to try)
Immortal with the techniques so the dream will never die (yeah)
And no, I never lie (nah)—that's word to Jim Carrey (yeah)
A life about nothin', yeah, I been Jerry
But then I kept on pushin', puttin' in that labor
One of 'em would close but then it's next door like a neighbor
Please don't do me any favors, stop tryna hop on board (yeah)
Fuckin' Kanye's tryna grab my award, yeah
The realest rappers left, so it's only right (right)
So let 'em know that tonight's the night, yeah

[Chorus: Bruno Mars & Abstract]
'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven (yeah, Henny)
For too long (we've both been locked out for), for too long (alright)
[Verse 3: Abstract]
In two years went from unknown to "My, how your hype's grown
Your fanbase got digits now, let me get your digits in my phone
Nah man, it ain't like that, I always knew that you could rap
I see where you been goin' at, tryna get myself under that math"
Um, tell me where you at straight from the start
When I went crazy from shots to the heart
Was placed in the dark, fuck what you thought
Laughin' at dreams that I said I'd embark
The limit ain't the sky's true, the limit is beside you
'Cause anyone who wasn't ride-or-die, know I denied you
Crazy how it saved me, love my music, she my baby
We ain't changin' our relationship, know some labels could pay me
We been through it all, rise and fall
Showtime till the curtains fall
She was always there for me
My heartbeat matched hers perfectly
Fans say we're changin' on 'em
Same movie, different scenes
Of course the tree is lookin' different than what you saw as a seed
Our pearly gates are openin'
Yeah, blame it on our teams
A-Team meets Team Henny, man, we livin' out our dreams

[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
