7 Nights
[Bridge]
Long days, long nights
No sleep, all right
They want my light, but just don't see what it cost for us
Broke down, no pride
She'll be by my side
I think this might be the last time that I fall in love
[Chorus]
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
[Verse 1]
Let me tell you what the moral is
I've been drivin' me a forklift
So my son can have a fork to lift
Boy, I'm fresh up out the orphanage
Can't convince myself, the Lord is it
Day and nights run together now
And I forgot just where the mornin' ends
Everybody want a piece of the pie
I wouldn't steal from 'em
But I look at my son and see me in his eyes
And I feel like I'd kill for him
I'd serve a couple hundred years for him
Nah, but really I just wanna make sure when he go to bed, I've got a meal for him
And some money tucked away for real storms
That's a real story
I ain't askin' y'all to feel for me
I ain't askin' y'all to fear for me
I'm just askin' God, "If You're truly there
Daddy take the wheel and steer for me"
I know you know I'll put it six feet under if it's robbin' me
I gotta get it for my family, cause I been workin'
[Bridge]
Long days, long nights
No sleep, all right
They want my light, but just don't see what it cost for us
Broke down, no pride
She'll be by my side
I think this might be the last time that I fall in love
[Chorus]
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
[Verse 2]
They talk about strugglin'
But they don't know nothin' bout steel-toed
The money ain't comin' in
And you get a cut of the real road
Trade my light for a dollar
So we can move out the slums
Cause you get killed for a dollar
If you live where we from
Ayy, I been on the road and my light is on empty
Do it for my home, steps outside, so don't tempt me
Presents round the tree for my kids, what I pray for
Either way it goes, I'll be grateful (Yeah)
I got enemies
I'm workin' seven nights, they won't get to me
I just talked to God
Show me what Heaven like, set my spirit free
I got uncles in the field, cousins on a pill, babies on a meal
Holy Father, do you hear me now?
Don't know how much it cost me now
[Bridge]
Long days, long nights
No sleep, all right
They want my light, but just don't see what it cost for us
Broke down, no pride
She'll be by my side
I think this might be the last time that I fall in love
[Chorus]
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Long days, long nights
No sleep, all right
They want my light, but just don't see what it cost for us
Broke down, no pride
She'll be by my side
I think this might be the last time that I fall in love
[Chorus]
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
(Long as I get it)
Seven nights straight feel like one long day
But I know my fam gon' be ok
Seven days straight feel like one long night
But I know my fam gon' be alright
