The Streets, FLOHIO - How Long's It Been lyrics

Fail and cry
If you don't shout and sing and roam
You'll be in your house with your doubts
Do you want to go out and wish you were home
Or be home and wish you were out
I'm in a weird phase of life
Somewhere between birth and death
Four days past my bedtime putting one
Word in front of the next
When you're around you you get down on you
But who's around you and who's down for you

Fail and cry and see the light
I've failed more times than you've even tried
How long's it been since
You've wondered that? I've
Had cups in my room longer than that

I've had thoughts in my rooms
That were longer than that
And the thoughts in my head
Overstayed some more years
Even though they're pretend they're
Still needing more help
And I don't fit myself anywhere around here
All I see is my wealth
I tried to go for them i come rolling up
I don't need no more blems
The head coming up i'm making it all blend
They're all trying to come
Need more than a token what you coughing up?
It's all in the open i need no more love
Tattoo - close the chapter
I keep myself warm with the
Cup I've just poured
You know you can't run more
Than the signals are gone

Fail and cry and see the light
I've failed more times than you've even tried
How long's it been since
You've wondered that? I've
Had cups in my room longer than that

Money don't matter but all I ask is
The chance to earn it for myself
No doubt they're bluffing we are all crabs
Trying to get out of the bucket
You won't reason, you are all story
Luck doesn't give, it lends that way
I'm on season 2, episode 4 of your shit
The fuck I give went that way
I can't unsee that, I can't rid the image
Cry and try and unspill milk
Mates are gunna' mate and others cry
Haters gunna' hate and lovers lie

Fail and cry and see the light
I've failed more times than you've even tried
How long's it been since
You've wondered that? I've
Had cups in my room longer than that (long)
Fail and cry and see the light
I've failed more times than you've even tried
(how long?) how long's it been since
You've wondered that? I've
Had cups in my room longer than that

I am never ever far from the swan
What you think I was born for?
War money coming up in lump sums
Bet they wanna' take me off for ransom
Maybe I might be the last one
They be in my heart that's a hard choice
Now I gotta' run it up the last time
Don't even try coming past nine
Needing my time creep up at night
Hit the lab, buss a little hi hat

Fail and cry and see the light
I've failed more times than you've even tried
How long's it been since
You've wondered that? I've
Had cups in my room longer than that
Fail and cry and see the light
I've failed more times than you've even tried
How long's it been since
You've wondered that? I've
Had cups in my room longer than that

You'll be in your house with your
E!
