Uncle Ticky - Late Night Lyrics

Ticky gotta get 'em, ahh!

All I ever wanted was this
All I ever wanted was that
Mum and Dad to treat me like a prince
But to never turn into a brat
To be famous just means you've accomplished
The luxury life you've adopted
You made it on some people's hotlists
But to others you're first on the hit list
Thank you for the waiting, thank you for the patience
I'm grateful for the good times even if those others seemed impatient
Cause you kept dreaming 'bout the riches that go beyond imagination
You's a champion in the making
Don't you think that you're forsaken
We say that prayer of Benediction
Prayer of benediction
Before I turn into a victim of fighting mental confliction
Trying to understand do's from don'ts and rights and wrongs
I'm rest assured the path will one day come to light
And best believe that what we need for inner peace
It don't ever come overnight

I've been bad lately
Didn't realize that you was fighting problems
And I just stood there watching
So now I gotta go
To set things right, yes I know
Didn't mean to leave you alone
But If I don't make it home

I've been working till late night (Ouuu yah, yah, yah)
I've been working till late night (Ouuu yah, yah, yah)
Haven't had enough day time oh no (Oh no, no, no)
Haven't had enough day time oh no (Oh no)

To conceal the truth, I tend to smile a lot more often
Though deep down suicide becomes an option
Slowly but surely it comes to rock me
When I stay up late, Lord forgive me
Every day I pray, Kumbaya
I'm fighting envy and jealousy, I cry inside
Despite you telling me I gotta be patient
I'm heading to the top but still furnishing the basement
But I still believe in everything you say
It's your tomorrow if not today
With a crooked smile, I write these lines
To soothe my soul and console my mind
Having patience in time is pure knowledge
True talent, worth something
What's the point of having it all
Before you know, it's all for nothing

I've been bad lately
Didn't realize that you was fighting problems
And I just stood there watching
So now I gotta go
To set things right, yes I know
Didn't mean to leave you alone
But If I don't make it home

I've been working till late night (Ouuu yah, yah, yah)
I've been working till late night (Ouuu yah, yah, yah)
Haven't had enough day time oh no (Oh no, no, no)
Haven't had enough day time oh no (Oh no)

I've been bad lately
Didn't realize that you was fighting problems
And I just stood there watching
So now I gotta go
To set things right, yes I know
Didn't mean to leave you alone
But If I don't make it home

I've been working till late night (Ouuu yah, yah, yah)
I've been working till late night (Ouuu yah, yah, yah)
Haven't had enough day time oh no (Oh no, no, no)
Haven't had enough day time oh no (Oh no)
