Lyrics
Hey what's good
Expression of greeting or inquiry about the other person's well-being.
Can I sing to you
Request for permission to sing to the listener.
It's been a long time
Repetition emphasizing the passage of a significant amount of time; expressing hope and reassurance by suggesting that holding hands will make things fine.
Long time coming
-Hold my hand we'll be just fine
-Long time
-Long time coming
-Hold my hand we'll be just fine
-I been doing this here for a long time aye

-Paying dues is like writing checks to my future self and he spendin right
-It's been a long time

Encouragement to invest in oneself and spend wisely, emphasizing the simplicity of pursuing dreams and living life authentically. Recognition of inner certainty.
Talking to these kids giving dad advice
-Honestly I was just giving bad advice
-Invest in yourself and spend it right
-That's all there is to it

-And then just live your live
-They'll tell you some things but deep down
-You already know you're right
-It's been a long time
Final repetition of the theme of time passing and the reassuring notion that holding hands will lead to a positive outcome.
