Amante Fletcher - How Long Has It Been [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Amante]
You were my priority and them other girls were options
You made me smile a few miles past often
Your heart was in my hand, you holding my other
Never been in love and you taught me how to be lovable
Love was just a word, you came and gave it meaning
Them boys broke your heart, a man like me picked up the pieces
And this is cliche, but we connected like some joints
And I miss you like an idiot misses the point, but fuck you, bitch

Alot of people told me that shit like this happens for a reason
But you left me in the cold, and this a different season
You told me that you thought you deserved some better treatment
I changed everything; it didn't change your choice of leaving
If we're nothing, we can last forever
Falling in love too fast lasts shorter than never
You made a decision, on some part-time emotions
I'm cautious, love that's not returned lasts the longest, so fuck you, bitch

[Skit]

[Verse 2: Caprice]
A picture perfect moment, not even Kodak could own it
We shared our debts, no one could ever loan us
Paved the way, so we can have a brighter day
Riding down the road of success to have a better way
I even changed myself, changed the bad things
Looking for a lifestyle with no more of the old flings
I'm a man now, so I realize that I gotta' put away all the childish things

They say age grants you wisdom, day after day
But as we grow older, it seems like we have less to say
That's alright, cause I don't want to listen
Sick of your shit, no need for prescriptions
Progress is hiding, are you the keeper?
Cause the way things seems, you lost a believer
And then I realized you only saw my features
And that was fame and money and that's why you seek us

[Skit]

[Verse 3: Brooklyn]
How long? How long has it been?
We were happy like a smile, we were flowing like the wind
Well, uh, it seems to me that you feign off every guy you see, so it wasn't meant to be
So, uh, I'm fine, thanks for just asking
I proved that this stride shows we're everlasting
Well, uh, these thoughts tell me the faith of me
Tell me the faith of we, the faith of you and me, see?

[Verse 4: Berzerk]
First off, your the one I fucked in my first car
The portrait of your pussy's so perfect, Mozart
My heart? Yeah, you shot it down with your dart
Going down like a pothead's test score
Girl, you was the best whore, furthermore, more than that
Baby this is more than rap, a lot more than crap
I'm just saying, in this game of love, we need to stop spraying
And we need to start staying, bitch
