Not Long

Ludacris

If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not long

Long days half sober nights
Unsigned, performing at every open mic
God is all I needed to believe in me
Haters I tuned them out they were on another frequency
My momma never winded my decision
And all the bright lights never blinded out my vision
Music was my passion and my first crush
I'm just tryna ride the waves baby surfs up
When I'm down music gets me worked up
Plus at all my shows, gets women to pull they shirts up
What can I say I'm turnt up
I'm on fire these other rappers is burnt up

If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not long

Yeah what an imagination
I'm a dreamer losing my concentration
Head in the clouds to trace my observations
Just connect the dots to all of the constellations
Looking for signs that's astrological
And I don't dream big, my dreams are astronomical
So when critics write articles of my chronicles
I wonder if my hunger is felt in they abdominal
Hiding from life's daily distraction
Where thoughts become things from the power of attraction
And I'm attracted to money and beautiful women
Ha and toasting to new beginnings, yeah

If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not long

Look it's not long 'til the fights over
But turbulence is non stop till the flights over
So when passengers panic just stay silent
And realize its never too late to become the pilot
I fly higher take control of my destiny
The first step I needed me to invest in me
It's still a every day struggle for wealth
But rather struggle working for me than working for someone else
And I'm steady tryna ease the stress
So I open up all the doors with the key to success
If it hasn't been done then I'mma do it first
'Cause I'm the master of the Ludaverse

If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not lon
