For a Long Time Lyrics
Bakes | from For a Long Time (2022)
Written by Bakes · Produced by Isiah Salazar
I've been doing this for a
You know why?
Because I'm here to inspire
It's purpose driven for me
Look
This ain't amateur hour
Not the man of the hour
I'm a god of the era
I look a lot in the mirror
I'm becoming more clairvoyant
I'm seeing America
The way they cover up and make us think that it's fair, but
If you see the inner workings, you'll observe that it's not that
They hide the information because they want us to fall back
But rather than accept it, I would rather be progressive
My destiny written with a feather, what I etched with
High vibrations are the only thing I'm focused on
Here to spread my wisdom, I denounce it if I know it's wrong
Because I know the difference between evil intentions
And people working with the light, no Edison invention
Want to hear the facts, tell me how it really is
They took away the schools from our growing little kids
Then took the jobs away from people who really need it
Some things that aren't making sense and no one can agree with
Like how are they making rules on who can open up their business?
People losing money that they need, it's hard to witness
The fact they make us wear a mask and stand six feet though
Close the "mom and pops", but let us shop at Home Depot
Across the board, everything's too inconsistent
Who's deciding what's good or bad, that's just one instance
Soak up all the knowledge, observe what I see
Caged minds, I won't stop until every person is free
From the limited beliefs they teach
Like a religion they preach
But when I spit, it's really more than a speech
See, they gave us all a personal security breach
Sell our data then pretend like it wasn't a far reach
But now I guess this is what we're coming to
I've been meditating with my crystals, that's the method that I summon through
Walking in my purpose, feeling like it's right
Recharging with a goddess who be healing with the light
I want to show people you can manifest anything
Focus on the positives, ignore all of the petty things
In a realm of quantum possibilities, there's everything
You determine where your life will go by how you carry things
Like if you hold on to heartbreak or trauma
Then you keep your body in a state of alarm, and
And recreate the feeling instead of just moving forward
Your perception is your reality, those are core words I live by
Type of dude with high standards, I don't want to get by
Because I want to thrive high
Grow and shine
And when I bring a certain vibe then you know it's mine
Channeling the source, yeah, I guess that's why my flow is divine
So in time
I know they'll see my full potential
Manifested all my full credentials
And the things I need to win, tools and the mental
Like if I fail, when I die God will look at me like "Fool, I sent you"
To make a difference
You were supposed to be different
Hopeful descendant
From a lineage of the soul dimension
All the warriors of time who uplifted epochs
This why I'm on a permanent pineal detox
Bring the light and dark to balance like the equinox
I knew that I could crack the code and hack it because I peeped the locks
I've been at it for a minute
Committed
Never considered the option of quitting, not even a tidbit
Another reason I've been at it for a long time
Is because I want to see my mom shine
Retired and living a long life
And never stressing about financials because that's all mine
That's right I've got you because you really helped me to develop my mental acuity
Beautifully the way you think, I see a lot of you in me
Open minded view of the world
And you recognized it early I was special and naturally gifted musically
As a kid you would help me to be creative
Pivotal in going down my path, you helped me pave it
A mother's love for her son is unmatched
I'm just trying to make my dreams unhatch
I'm working for it
