Lyrics

Its been awhile since I seen your face

Expressing a significant time gap since the speaker last saw the person's face.

Its been awhile since I seen your face

Reiteration of the extended period without seeing the person.

Been a lot of dark nights and some cloudy days

Reflecting on difficult times, both dark nights and cloudy days.

Couple times i almost blasted towards outer space

Describing moments where the speaker nearly engaged in reckless behavior, possibly as a coping mechanism.

Its been awhile since I seen your face

Repeating the longing to see the person's face after the challenging times.

Its Been a lot of dark nights and some cloudy days

Emphasizing the enduring nature of challenging experiences.

A couple time i almost blasted off Towards outer space

Recalling instances when the speaker contemplated escaping reality, possibly metaphorically 'blasting off towards outer space.'

Passed the gates

Mentioning passing some metaphorical gates, suggesting overcoming obstacles.

If only just the see you’re face

Expressing a desire to see the person's face, even if it's too late.

Though it’s to late

Suggesting a sense of regret or missed opportunities.


Its been awhile since I seen your face

[Empty lines]

Its Been a lot of dark nights and some cloudy days

-

A couple time i almost blasted off Towards outer space

-

I broke the glass and was out a vase

-

I took the cash and then I had a case

-

I hit the gas an i don’t bother brakes

-

They dropped a body off in placid lakes

-

Aghast from all my past mistakes

-

I need some money and im hungry

-

So thats higher stakes

-

Im moving mountains

-

While they run in place

-

They wanna gossip

-

An They wanna hate

-

I think its great

-

Its good to know who be that snake

-

For its to late

-

Its been awhile since I seen your face

Similar to lines 1-10, emphasizing the persistent yearning and missed chances.

Its Been a lot of dark nights and some cloudy days

-

A couple times i almost blasted off

-

Towards outer space

-

To Pass the gates

-

If only just the see you’re face

-

Its been awhile since I seen your face

-

Its Been a lot of dark nights and some cloudy days

-

A couple times i almost blasted off

-

Towards outer space

-

To Pass the gates

-

If only just the see you’re face

-

But its to late

Reiterating the sense of missed opportunities or delayed actions.


It’s been a while since I felt ok

[Empty lines]

Sometimes I’m lost in my head

-

And I can’t find the way

-

No matter what direction I’m going

-

They follow me

-

No matter where I’m at they know that they can call on me

-

I give them all me

-

And if you ever tired you can fall on me

-

Just pray that my loyalty never gan be the fall of me

-

My circle closed

-

I ran out of pieces in my monopoly

-

Ill break your nose

-

If you ever treat me unproperly

-

I’m closer to my dreams

-

It seems that im like goapele

-

But still I keep the glock on me

-

No one ell get the drop on me

Confidently asserting that no one will catch the speaker off guard.

My homies down south

Mentioning connections with friends and expressing cultural references.

I hit em with that sak pase

-

And if they feel me then they hallo back with Nap boule

-

Its been awhile since I seen your face

Repetition of themes from lines 31-44, suggesting a cyclical or ongoing emotional struggle.

Its Been a lot of dark nights and some cloudy days

-

A couple times i almost blasted off

-

Towards outer space

-

To Pass the gates

-

If only just the see you’re face

-

Its been awhile since I seen your face

-

Its Been a lot of dark nights and some cloudy days

-

A couple times i almost blasted off

-

Towards outer space

-

To Pass the gates

-

If only just the see you’re face

-

But its to late

Reiterating the idea that it's too late to change certain outcomes or reconcile.
